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.
