R. Edward Freeman is an American philosopher and professor of business administration at the Darden School of the University of Virginia known for his work on stakeholder theory and on business ethics. Born in Columbus, Freeman received a B. A. in mathematics and philosophy from Duke University in 1973 and a Ph. D. in philosophy from Washington University in 1978. He taught at the University of Minnesota and the Wharton School, is now Elis and Signe Olsson Professor of Business Administration at the Darden School of the University of Virginia, he is academic director of the Business Roundtable Institute for Corporate Ethics, director of the Darden's Olsson Center for Applied Ethics. In 1994 Freeman served as president of the Society for Business Ethics, he is one of the executive editors of the journal Philosophy of Management and he serves as the editor for the Ruffin Series in Business Ethics from Oxford University Press. In 2001 Freeman was awarded the Pioneer Award for Lifetime Achievement by the World Resources Institute and by the Aspen Institute, in 2005 the Virginia State Council on Higher Education honored him with the Outstanding Faculty Award.

Freeman is known for his work on stakeholder theory published in his 1984 book Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach. He has authored other books on corporate business ethics, he co-edited standard business textbooks such as The Portable MBA and the Blackwell's Handbook of Strategic Management. His latest book, Managing for Stakeholders, was published 2007. Stakeholder theory is a theory of organizational management and business ethics that addresses morals and values in managing an organization, it was detailed by Freeman in the book Strategic Management: a Stakeholder Approach, identifies and models the groups which are stakeholders of a corporation, both describes and recommends methods by which management can give due regard to the interests of those groups. In short, it attempts to address the "Principle of Who or What Really Counts."In the traditional view of the firm, the shareholder view, the shareholders or stockholders are the owners of the company, the firm has a binding fiduciary duty to put their needs first, to increase value for them.

However, stakeholder theory argues that there are other parties involved, including governmental bodies, political groups, trade associations, trade unions, financiers, suppliers and customers. Sometimes competitors are counted as stakeholders - their status being derived from their capacity to affect the firm and its other morally legitimate stakeholders; the nature of what is a stakeholder is contested, with several definitions existing in the academic literature. Corporate social responsibility is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. CSR policy functions as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance within the spirit of the law, ethical standards, international norms. CSR is a process with the aim to embrace responsibility for the company's actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, employees, communities and all other members of the public sphere who may be considered as stakeholders.

The term "corporate social responsibility" came into common use in the late 1960s and early 1970s after many multinational corporations formed the term stakeholder, meaning those on whom an organization's activities have an impact. It was used to describe corporate owners beyond shareholders as a result of an influential book by Freeman, Strategic management: a stakeholder approach in 1984. Proponents argue that corporations make more long term profits by operating with a perspective, while critics argue that CSR distracts from the economic role of businesses. Others argue CSR is window-dressing, or an attempt to pre-empt the role of governments as a watchdog over powerful multinational corporations. Anticipation of such concepts appear in a publication that appeared in 1968 by Italian economist Giancarlo Pallavicini, creator of the "Method of the decomposition of the parameters" for the calculation of the results does not directly cost of business, regarding ethical issues, social and environmental.

The Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance was an award presented at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony, established in 1958 and called the Gramophone Awards, to female recording artists for works containing quality vocal performances in the rock music genre. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position". Called the Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, the award was first presented to Donna Summer in 1980. Beginning with the 1995 ceremony, the name of the award was changed to Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. However, in 1988, 1992, 1994, since 2005, this category was combined with the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance and presented in a genderless category known as Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo; the solo category was renamed to Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance beginning in 2005.

This fusion has been criticized when female performers are not nominated under the solo category. The Academy has cited a lack of eligible recordings in the female rock category as the reason for the mergers. While the award has not been presented since the category merge in 2005, an official confirmation of its retirement has not been announced. Pat Benatar, Sheryl Crow, Tina Turner hold the record for the most wins in this category, with four wins each. Melissa Etheridge and Alanis Morissette have been presented the award two times each. Crow's song "There Goes the Neighborhood" was nominated twice. Since its inception, American artists have been presented with the award more than any other nationality, though it has been presented to vocalists from Canada three times. Stevie Nicks holds the record for the most nominations without a win, with five. ^ Each year is linked to the article about the Grammy Awards held that year.^ Award was combined with the Best Male Rock Vocal Performance category and presented in a genderless category known as Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo.
