摘要

我们探讨了利益相关者理论和系统理论之间的对话如何说明利益相关者管理在资本主义制度体系中的独特作用。为此,我们呼吁利益相关者学者注意亚历山大·波格丹诺夫(Alexander Bogdanov)的《技术学》(Tektology),这是系统理论的早期版本,提出了对资本主义的批判性关注。根据Tektology的说法,资本主义助长了个人主义和冲突驱动的心态,这阻碍了社会实现其全部合作潜力的能力。如果利益相关者理论接受了这一批评,它可能会将社会协作概念化为“有组织的复杂性”,如果人类参与者克服了他们的简化主义心态,这种复杂性就可以实现。这一概念举措突出了利益相关者理论对利益相关者心态在释放资本主义社会合作潜力中的作用的见解的新颖系统理论基础。由此产生的利益相关者理论的附加价值在于认识到资本主义的合作本质是一种由利益相关者管理实践促进的制度成就,利益相关者管理实践沿着非线性路径运行,并产生紧急和反直觉的结果。

A systems-theoretical look at stakeholder theory: Lessons from Bogdanov's Tektology

A systems-theoretical look at stakeholder theory: Lessons from Bogdanov's Tektology

We explore how the conversation between stakeholder theory and systems theory can illustrate the unique role of stakeholder management within the system of capitalistic institutions. Toward that end, we call the attention of stakeholder scholars to Alexander Bogdanov's Tektology, an early version of systems theory that raised critical concerns about capitalism. According to Tektology, capitalism fosters individualistic and conflict-driven mindsets, which stymie society's ability to achieve its full collaborative potential. If stakeholder theory takes this critique on board, it may conceptualize social collaboration as “organized complexity” that can materialize if human actors overcome their reductionist mindsets. This conceptual move highlights novel systems-theoretical foundations for stakeholder theory's insights into the role of stakeholder mindsets in unlocking collaborative potential within capitalist societies. The resulting added value for stakeholder theory lies in recognizing the collaborative nature of capitalism as an institutional accomplishment facilitated by stakeholder management practices, which operate along non-linear pathways and generate emergent and counter-intuitive outcomes.
