Significance of stakeholders in the process
|
Clarkson (1995) stated that, “stakeholders are persons or groups that have claim or ownership rights, interests in a corporation and its activities, past present and future”
- Primary Stakeholders: are those whose interests lie at the heart of the organisation: these groups are sometimes called the target group or the main customers. They are usually members, users of services, important trading partners, volunteers and/or residents. - Secondary Stakeholders are those with whom the organisation co-operates in order to reach the primary stakeholders. They are usually funders, Local Government Authorities, banks, network partners and/or private sector organisations. - Tertiary Stakeholders are occasional trading partners, suppliers, customers, contractors, financial institutions and/or external consultants. This category may not apply to small groups, but for larger organisations this can be an important category. |
