Shareholder Value Theory:
This theory emphasizes the value of wealth generated for shareholders through dividends and capital appreciation.
Shareholders are primarily interested in maximizing their profit, as reflected in the company's stock price.
The focus is on maximizing the company's return on equity (ROE), which is calculated by dividing the company's net income by its shareholders' equity.
Examples: A company prioritizing shareholder value might pay out a higher dividend or prioritize the repurchase of shares, which can increase the company's stock price.
Stakeholder Value Theory:
This theory focuses on the value of contributions made by stakeholders beyond profit to the company, including employees, customers, suppliers, and the community.
Stakeholders include individuals and groups who have an interest in the company's success and welfare beyond pure financial gain.
The focus is on maximizing the company's value to all stakeholders, rather than just shareholders.
Examples: A company prioritizing stakeholder value might invest in social responsibility initiatives, create jobs, or donate to local charities
