From the Paper:

"During the major part of the 20th century, destruction of value in case of stakeholders was regarded to be external to the enterprise. Companies had the upper hand to produce damaging impact to the society as these were regarded to be outside the purview of business or due to the fact that the perceived costs outweigh the costs. With the advent of modernization of information and communications technology, the gestation period for identifying and internalizing negative stakeholder influence has been shortened. The influence on a stakeholder group in any part of the globe is communicated immediately throughout the world having a direct bearing for its capability to conduct business.
