hello
in the note , shareholders are the internal stakeholder, however in the bpp text book they say shareholders are the connected stakeholder
To the extent that they can attend and vote at annual general meetings (eg to dismiss directors) they are connected. Most of the time, however, in large companies shareholders are passive and un-involved so then are more like external stakeholders.
thansk you for answering the question, so it means that shareholders may have three posibilities in some extent?
Yes. I have always thought the categorisation of stakeholders into internal, external and connected is pointless: what’s important is their power and influence. For example, government is external, but it can send you to jail! Employees are internal but often powerless.
(….but I could say that lots of the F1 syllabus is pointless… what a heresy!)
But I still think, it needs to be corrected in the notes. That little variation costed me 4 marks from 2 questions yesterday. I came here to point this out and was surprised to see someone had already mentioned it.
