SOMETHING ELSE FOR A COMPANY TO CONSIDER: SHAREHOLDERS - STAKEHOLDERS

 

This lesson is aimed at all of those people or organiztions that, one way or another, benefit from introducing successful strategy in a determined company.

On the one side there are the "shareholders" that have shares in the company.

On the other side there are the "stakeholder", which are the groups that are interested in the company's survival. These interest groups (people or organiztions) can effect or be effected by the company's decisions. You can see the "stakeholders" in the following graph. They effect everyone included in the chain one way or another.

The company's activity not only effects the shareholders but also the workers, consumers, competitors and the society in general. For this reason, it is essential a company analyses the consequences of the company's actions for the different groups. This analysis of the consequences and the introduction of best practice constitute part of the company's social responsability. Currently there is a great interest, not only by companies but public administrations and different social groups to improve a company's ethic behaviour.
