Résumé

Contrary to Friedman ’s theory which claims that corporations only aim at increasing profits and shareholders’ revenues, companies have moral responsibilities. Indeed shareholders are not alone in a firm and have to compromise with the interests of other stakeholders. According to Freeman , a stakeholder in an organization is any group or individual who can affect or be affected by the achievement of the organization’s objectives. In this way, the stakeholder approach consists for a company in considering the effects of its activities and taking into account the interests of all stakeholder groups.

The fast food industry illustrates perfectly the different concerns in ethics and morality: this industry is a symbol of globalization in the sense that it is characterized by many multinational companies which have an important economic and political power. These positions give them some moral obligations in terms of social sustainability; indeed fast food companies have to fight against glaring inequalities in wealth distribution. Therefore, it is important that managers should run the fast food industry according to the stakeholder approach because it is the only way to reach success for all stakeholder groups.
