Stakeholder theory

The basic premise is that business organisations

have responsibility to various groups in society

(the internal and external stakeholders) and not

just the owners/ shareholders The responsibility includes a responsibility for

the natural environment

Decisions should be taken in the wider interestand not just the narrow shareholder interest


11/23

What characterizes these

stakeholders? They are vital to the survival and success

of the organization.

Their relationship with the organizationenables them to be benefited by the

organizationss actions and operations.

This relationship also makes it possible for

the organization to harm them or to violate

their rights.


12/23
