Business Studies (9-1) - 0986 CIE

The Role Of Stakeholder Groups Involved In Business Activity:

Overview

A single decision, such as a factory closing, ripples out to touch owners, workers, customers, suppliers and a whole local community at once, and each of them wants something different from it. These groups are a business's stakeholders, and understanding what they want is the key to seeing why business decisions are so rarely simple.

In this lesson you will learn to identify the internal and external stakeholders of any business, state the objective each one pursues, and explain how those objectives clash, so that pleasing one group often means disappointing another. You will leave able to analyse the winners and losers behind any business decision.

Objectives

  1. Main internal and external stakeholder groups
  2. Objectives of different stakeholder groups
  3. How these objectives might conflict with each other, use examples

Lesson Note

Almost every case study in the exam describes a decision and then asks who gains, who loses, and whether the decision was right. That is a stakeholder question in disguise. Once you can map the stakeholders and their conflicting aims, you can analyse any business situation and build the balanced, two-sided argument that the evaluate questions demand.
