“Expanding
the Value Horizon: Stakeholders as Source of Competitive
Advantage” by Chris Laszlo, Dave Sherman,
John Whalen and Jib Ellison, The Journal of Corporate
Citizenship, Winter 2005, Issue 20. Stakeholder value—based
on the economic, environmental and social impacts
a company has on its diverse constituents—is
a rapidly growing source of business advantage. Taking
advantage of this source, however, requires a change
in the mind-set of leadership and a disciplined approach
to integrating stakeholder value throughout the business.
This paper offers a practical approach to building
competitive advantage by identifying and acting on
stakeholder-related business risks and opportunities.
