ABSTRACT
According to business ethicists such as Freeman (1984), Lozano (2000), and Mitroff (1983), a corporation has numerous stakeholders, groups whose support is essential to its well-being and even survival. These stakeholders have been variously categorized as internal and external, primary and secondary (e.g., Lozano 2000). Commonly acknowledged stakeholders that a corporation interacts with in one manner or another include employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers, government agencies, managers, creditors, and community groups.
