The most critical barrier to managing stakeholder value is the dominant mental model. A new mindset is needed to capture the systemic interrelationships between a company and its societal context. With this mindset it is not enough to just compete with industry rivals, but it is also important to understand and manage the changing expectations of an ever growing and diverse set of stakeholders.

The American Pharmaceutical Association also had hopes of developing a research endowment of its own at this time, and some of its leaders may have seen the proposed institute as a rival for funds. A.Ph.A. President George Beringer had called for the creation of an endowment fund for pharmaceutical research in his presidential address in 1914 (48). In August of 1917, the A.Ph.A. Council established a research fund (49), and shortly thereafter Amy was appointed Chairman of a newly-created research committee (50). Although it was not until early 1920 that the A.Ph.A. Executive Committee formally proposed the formation of a research endowment, with plans calling for the solicitation of funds from industry and other sources (51), it is likely that the idea of soliciting contributions for an endowment fund was already in the minds of some when the research fund and committee was established. ...

It has been calculated that alcoholism now rivals heart disease and cancer as the major health problem in industrialized countries, with 9% of men and 5% of women currently at risk.
