Dr. Goerg has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

Link to legislation that requires corporations to include/consider stakeholders. Examples would be "Benefit Corporation" in the US, or any corporation according to German corporate law (for a short review see introduction of Hamann et al (2015) Cui Bono, Benefit Corporation? An Experiment Inspired by Social Enterprise Legislation in Germany and the US, Review of Law & Economics. Vol. 11, No. 1, pp. 79-110)

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

I propose moving the definition by the Stanford Research Institute out of the lead, as I do not believe it reflects current usage of the term. It is worth mentioning in the article only for historical purposes. For example, contemporary usage includes as stakeholders neighbors of a factory who may not be supportive, yet the company can continue to function without their support.

I agree the lead could be streamlined. The other sections also need to be coordinated. Heath 2006 provides a slate of sources to use and a structure which could be borrowed. --Nemo 10:52, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
