Product Details

This is a Portuguese translation of the November 13, 2020 version of UVA-E-0415. The benefits or harms achieved by a business is determined in part by the choices that business leaders make. One important driver of these choices is a leader’s view of the purpose of business. This note: (1) outlines the history of debates about corporate purpose, (2) calls out some myths that persist in the way that people think about corporate purpose, and (3) introduces a view of business called “managing for stakeholders” that has become increasingly influential.
