U.S. business is at a crossroads in its decision-making policies. Essentially it has to decide whether to:

		adopt an ethical approach to decision-making or face the displeasure of its customer base;
		adopt a stakeholder approach to decision-making or face a shareholder revolt to force such a model on business management;
		propose ways to maximize shareholder wealth and thus satisfy its fiduciary duties to investors;
		adopt a stakeholder model or face increasing governmental regulations;
		apply legal principles to corporate decision-making or face increased lawsuits and liability issues.
