A number of arguments have been put forward both for and against each of these viewpoints. In this article, based on a preliminary literature review, an attempt has been made to highlight the viewpoints of various scholars about each of these approaches. Also, the supremacy of the stakeholder view of the firm as highlighted by many scholars has been identified and stated.
