Hi, I’d like to clarify: why shareholders are connected? To my mind shareholders (especially in companies with limited liabilities) could significantly affect on decisions, matters, development of the company… so I’d say that shareholders are internal.
no shareholers are connected because they are not working in the company. according to your point goverment also can change the position of the organisation but its dosent mean that goverment is internal stakeholder
In the test questions that follow Chapter 5 in the notes, question 2 asks about who the connected stakeholders are. Well the obvious answer is “D” based on the chapter. However, my question is….with regards to option C: Government. Couldn’t the Government also be a “connected stakeholder”? Had the organization received funding, etc., wouldn’t that make the Government “connected” in some way?
Perhaps I’ll answer my own question. Had the Government given money, they would now become an “External” stakeholder….kind of like a lender?
I see what you are saying, but government is always regarded as an external stakeholder (unless the organisatoin is state owned). You could argue that government is connected because it received taxes, but that ‘connection’ is ignored.

hi what kind of stakeholder fall in high interest and low power. I assume by interest we take “attention and involvement” not benefit etc

Thank you Sir!

If the company carries on a complex process, it will be relatively difficult for newcomers to enter the industry because they won’t know how to.
This is to do with Porters 5 forces, not stakeholders.
