Management ethics and shareholder wealth creation in corporate practice

I agree with your assessment and conclusions regarding shareholder wealth with the context of ethics. I agree with you that the primary role of management is the maximize the wealth of those who provided management with capital. In this instance, management should generate the highest returns relative to the risk incurred. In addition, management must do this from an ethical perspective being sure to adhere to applicable rules (Sliman, 2017). Lately, I’m also seeing companies take a much more proactive approach to social justice issues and causes around the country. Recently, Major League Baseball removed the all-star game from Atlanta to protest voting rights restrictions from Republican legislatures. We are also seeing companies become much more outspoken about racial inequality as well. I believe many of the issues can either maximize or lower shareholder wealth depending on the company and the stance that they are taking on a particular issue. What is your opinion on the recent rise of social activities on the part of corporations? Do you think they should engage in such behavior?
