The profits
a company make are not easily measured, so it is difficult for a person
or organization to see the results and know how a company is doing
financially.
Shareholders
can measure the economic profits from their shares. However, it is
more difficult for stakeholders to measure the profits, given that
they each have different interests in the company, but one common
interest - the company's survival.
We are
now going to give examples of possible interests of each of the interest
groups:
- Clients.
They are interested in the products or services becoming more valuable.
- Competitors.
They are interested in the company's results, the internal organization.
- Suppliers.
They are interested in checking how quickly a company pays.
- Financial
entities. They are interested in the company's reliability.
- Non
government organizations. - They are interested in the social
labour of the company.
- Workers
trade union. They are interested in protecting the workers,
especially with working conditions.
- Society.
The society is interested in knowing what the company can give society:
link with activities, respect for the environment....…
- State.
The state is interested in the company's profits and the taxes they
collect from them.
