This Oxford-style debate addresses some issues and ethical dilemmas in the area of corporate social responsibility, and in the tension between shareholders and stakeholders. In your own words, how would you formulate the central conflict here? Do you come down on one side or the other? Why?
Also, respond to at least two of your classmates.
