Organizational value that is generated for stakeholders by creating, implementing, and managing effective strategies, processes, activities, assets, etc. Sustainable value creation for stakeholders occurs when the benefits to them are greater than the resources that are expended on a consistent and ongoing basis. Value is generally measured in financial terms (as in the case of shareholders), but can also be measured as social or environmental benefit or organizational reputation (as in the case of both shareholders and other stakeholders).

“having this many regulators still opens up the system to financial arbitrage or making it easier to allow firms to find the weakest link…..the most significant elements are tougher regulation of companies that could cause a systemic shock and stronger customer protection from dangerous financial products”
Comment by Diana Furchtgott-Roth – Conservative Hudson Institute
“…definitely does make sense, but that putting the government in charge of monitoring companies for systemic risk is very dangerous…..the idea of the government taking over companies that have problems because it decides they are big too fall invites political cronysm as we saw with Chrysler and GM”
