Shareholders theory is concerned with increased profits for shareholders .  Stakeholder Theory is concerned with any stakeholders, group or individual who benefits or are harmed by corporate actions they do not own stock in the company.  Stockholders may be the largest stakeholder because they are directly affected by the company’s performance.  Milton Friedman believed executives act in a morally responsible way to seek maximized profits.  Free man thought this overemphasized profits.  He thought this was a moral duty to stockholders.  Freeman thought managers have duties to numerous groups and individuals, the stakeholders.
