“社会经营许可证”（SLO）是一个越来越多听到的术语，最初是为了引起矿业公司对利益相关者问题的注意而创造的。在大约900名管理人员、顾问、学者和学生参加的50场活动中提出的问题和评论，本文采用了“常见问题”（FAQ）的修辞手段来阐明与该术语相关的概念和社会政治问题。六个常见问题中的前两个涉及SLO概念最新颖的贡献，即利益相关者拥有真实的权力的想法。第三和第四个常见问题解答涉及利益相关者如何行使权力的道德和政治问题。第五个常见问题是如何衡量非内聚利益相关者网络授予的不同SLO级别。第六个常见问题涉及由于特定项目和整个行业都可能失去SLO而引起的混淆。对常见问题的回答探讨了这些问题所提出的问题，并确定了（a）可以阐明这些问题的现有研究，以及（B）需要进一步实证研究的潜在问题。
The 'social licence to operate' (SLO) is an increasingly heard term that was originally coined to draw the attention of mining companies to stakeholder issues. Drawing on questions and comments voiced in 50 events attended by approximately 900 managers, consultants, academics and students, this article employs the rhetoric device of 'frequently asked questions' (FAQs) to articulate conceptual and socio-political issues associated with the term. The first two of the six FAQs deal with the most novel contribution of the SLO concept, the idea that stakeholders have real power. The third and fourth FAQs deal with ethical and political issues about how stakeholders wield their power. The fifth FAQ looks at how to weight the diverse SLO levels granted by a non-cohesive stakeholder network. The sixth FAQ deals with confusion arising from the fact that both specific projects and whole industries can lose their SLO. The answers to the FAQs explore issues raised by the questions and identify (a) existing research that can illuminate the questions, and (b) latent questions that need further empirical research.
