From the Paper:

"As the world evolves, the business community is forced to adapt along. The changes in the past few years have revolved around an increased focus on customer satisfaction, employees' on the job satisfaction and increased shareholder value. Ultimately, it can be said that the contemporaneous business community has to deal with more categories of stakeholders. The fact that the demands of more individuals and groups of individuals have to be considered means that the organizations are faced with more needs to satisfy and consequently, more chances of failure. In a more simplistic formulation, today's organizations face more risks that they predecessors in the past decades."
