From the Paper:

"These different approaches bring about modifications in all business compartments. For instance, the company is now forced to invest and develop their marketing and human resource departments. Then, at more top management level, the company must ensure that all decisions are made in accordance with human resource and marketing specifications. The management has to make both short and long term decisions to the best interest of the company and its stakeholders."
