Essentially, a stakeholder is anyone or any group that has anything to do with an organization. The term 'stakeholder' is not confined to the owners and managers of an organization but also includes the customers, employees and even associated organizations. Types of stakeholders are divided into primary stakeholders and secondary stakeholders. Having a stake in a business means that your actions affect that organization, whether directly or indirectly. In turn, the business’s affairs will ultimately affect you. Request Free! |
