The stakeholder organisation theory and its systemic foundation

The paper presents main systemic arguments that support the so-called stakeholder theory. It starts with Bochenski's contribution to the philosophy of an enterprise, and then refers to the intervention theory of Midgley in general and the boundary question of an organisation, as well as to the critical realist stakeholder theory of Friedman and Miles. Next, the issue of praxiological evaluation of human action enriched by ethicality shows the systemic approach to axiological analysis of human activity. Finally, usefulness of the approach to the problem of corporate social responsibility is reviewed and a systemic definition of a responsible company is given.
