Overvaluing stakeholders

It has been suggested that obtaining information about stakeholders' utility functions may produce costs that can exceed the benefits. Therefore, in its intention to create value, managing for stakeholders can end up allocating too many resources to stakeholders. Further, taking into account that power among stakeholders is not evenly distributed, certain actors may be able to appropriate more of a firm's profit for themselves than other interested parties. This warps the distribution of value between shareholders, rather than maximizing returns.
