The hub and spoke model of Stakeholder Theory is about the lines between the core of the company and the stakeholders, and these relationships are where Economic and moral improvements can be made,
and I think that the biggest challenge with the respect to Stakeholder Theory is convincing people that those economic benefits do in fact exist.

that's the way to go, that you can make money and be good, maybe make make more money than you would otherwise.
