Because if an executive makes “social” expenditures he is spending someone else’s money ... Insofar as his actions in accord with his “social responsibility” reduce returns to stockholders, he is spending their money. Insofar as his actions raise the price to customers, he is spending the customers’ money. Insofar as his actions lower the wages of some employees, he is spending their money. 4 Furthermore, such actions are “undemocratic” as they involve corporations taking on responsibilities that should be the government’s: taxation and expenditure, and solving social problems. If the elected government is not taking certain actions, it is because the voters did not want it to do so. Any such action “harms the foundations of a free society” and reveals an unfortunate “suicidal impulse” in businessmen. 5 Friedman does not seem to consider the possibility that stockholders might prefer to receive lower dividends but live in a society with less pollution or less unemployment and fewer social problems. 6 An alternative view to the “stockholder model” exemplified by Friedman’s article is the stakeholder model. According to this approach, business managers have responsibilities to all the groups of people with a stake in or an interest in or a claim on the firm. These will include employees, suppliers, customers and the local community, as well as the stockholders. Proponents of the stakeholder approach argue that all these groups should be represented on a company’s board of directors. Based on the information in the article, say whether the following statements are True (T), False (F). 41. Free market theorists think that people do business to make money. 42. Friedman believes both people and corporations can have responsibilities. 43. Friedman describes social responsible actions of corporations as an undemocraticy. 44. Friedman argues that the social responsibility of business is to solve social problems. Choose the best answer. 45. According to Friedman, in what way are "social responsible" actions by businesses "undemocratic"? A. Because this is generally what the owners of the business want, and what they employ executives to do. B. Because they involve doing things that should be done by governments. C. Because only people can have responsibilities, and not corporations. 46. According to the text, what other desires might stockholders have, apart from making as much money as possible? CÙNG BELL QUA MÔN TIẾNG ANH 6 A. Lower dividends, higher prices, or lower wages. B. A society with less pollution or less unemployment and fewer social problems. C. A government that takes on social responsibilities.
