“…Thus, the private owners of the socially responsible firms take as exogenously given the level of ''social concern'', k, given, for instance, by the ''customary toughness'' of the stakeholders incorporated in the firm's objective function. This is coherent with the results of the empirical study of Spitzeck and Hansen (2010), who find that the stakeholder engagement mechanism is mainly confined to ''dialogue and issues'' advisory, while the ''structural'' strategic choices (i.e. different from the output choices) of the company are outside their sphere.…”

According to those authors, the engagement mechanism of the stakeholders is usually circumscribed to "dialogue & issues" advisory.…”

In particular, this action contributes to goal attainment and improved innovation (Diochon, 2010).…”

“…It is confirmed that companies with top performance in innovation and goal-attainment are correlated with processes that promote entrepreneurship. Spitzeck and Hansen (2010) note that global financial crises have adversely affected the 20th century with greater frequency. Additionally, they identify stakeholders as indispensable to businesses, which leads them to study the relationship between the two in Europe, where they find that stakeholders are given a voice in strategic, managerial, and operational issues.…”
