Are corporations obligated to pursue the interests of shareholders, perhaps at the expense of other stakeholders? After all, the shareholders own the corporation, so shouldn't they come first?  If so, that would agree with the traditional view of the firm: its mission is to increase the wealth of the shareholders. Or do corporations need to pay attention to other stakeholders as well?  Does the firm need to be concerned with the welfare of its employees? What is the firm's responsibility to the community in which it operates? Etc. So do you support the traditional view, or should corporations be focused more broadly on being responsible to all of its stakeholders? If so, to how do shareholders fit into the mix? Explain your reasoning.
