Abstract

This chapter presents the main systemic arguments that support the so-called stakeholder theory. It starts with Bocheński’s contribution to the philosophy of an enterprise, and then refers to Midgley’s intervention theory in general and the boundary question of an organization, as well as to Friedman and Miles’s critical realist stakeholder theory. Next the issue of praxiological evaluation of human action enriched by ethicality shows the systemic approach to axiological analysis of human activity. Finally, the usefulness of the approach to the problem of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is reviewed and a systemic definition of a responsible company is given. The study then considers De George’s ‘myth of corporate social responsibility’, and links an organization systemically with Bunge’s systemic ethics.
