What is the importance of sharing common values that originate\udfrom the entrepreneurs’ and companies’ embeddedness in a cohesive territorial\udsocio-economic system? Departing from this research question and taking both\uda deductive and inductive perspective, the paper aims to propose reflections\udaround three main topics: the entrepreneurial and familial origins of SMEs’\udvalue systems, which are strictly connected to the historical, cultural, and social\udroots in their local territories; the influence of these values on the companies’\udapproaches to stakeholders management; and the development of stakeholders’\udnetworks promoted by territorial companies, that share a mutual set of values.\udThe case study (Loccioni Group) offers an example of good stakeholders’\udmanagement practice, which co-evolves with the environment, improving,\udat the same time, the company’s competitiveness and the socio-economic\udconditions of the local context in which it is deeply embedded
