The role of deliberative democracy within and around corporations has received growing attention over the past years in management and organization studies. The related debates on workplace democracy, organizational democracy and the broader political responsibilities of corporations have received new vigor with the advent of the so-called "multi-objective organization" that aims for financial, social and environmental goals simultaneously. While proponents of deliberative democracy argue for the beneficial role of deliberative decision-making for the integration of multiple values and goals, critics point to legitimacy as well as efficiency problems associated with organizing internal and external stakeholders according to democratic principles. This panel aims at discussing the role of deliberative democracy for managing stakeholder value pluralism within the multi-objective corporation. By bringing together well established scholars in this area of research this panel aims at taking stock of the current debate as well as charting fruitful avenues for further research.
