A corporate stakeholder is a person or group that can affect or affected by the actions of business (Boundless, n.d.).

Internal stakeholders are parties who directly involved in the activities of the firm such as owners, managers and workers. External stakeholders are people outside of the business for example are customers, suppliers, creditors, government and the society. (BBC, n.d.) (Boundless, n.d.). Further more, different stakeholder has its own interest in the business, employees want their wage to increase, manager or owners want to maximize the business’s profit, the society wants products that help to develop the community and consumers want products that meet their demand.

The structure and design of organizations have drastically changed over the last twenty-five years. Organizations develop new goals at the beginning of the year or after the completion of previous goals, and heavily depend on planning to help achieve these goals. Planning is an integral part of organizational success, as upper management receives substantial information on various needs such as risk uncertainty, available resources, employee development, and unforeseen changes in technology (Daft, 2013). Most importantly, successful planning allows management to make effective decisions when unforeseen events arise within the organization. Not participating in planning is equivalent to taking a road trip across the country without a

Stakeholders are individuals and constituencies that contribute, either voluntarily or involuntarily, to its wealth-creating capacity and activities, and who are therefore its potential beneficiaries and/or risk bearers1. There are several different types of stakeholders associated with a corporation, and those stakeholders can have different views and opinions on what corporation 's goals should be and how they should be running. I have interviewed three different stakeholders of Staples Inc., an employee, a customer and a stock holder, to find their relationship between them and the firm.

According to the author of “Built to Last”, Good to Great outlines a representation for rotating a high-quality, regular or even ordinary corporation into a grand one. The book includes a helpful illustration that brings all the presumption collectively in a significant and unforgettable manner. By bringing mutually disciplined individuals, using restricted thought and action companies can makeup and penetrate the barrier that seize them from getting to greatness. The author, Jim Collins and his explore team put together collectively a roll of “good to great” organizations and compared them to the “contrast companies” in order to verify what distinguish the leaders from the rest.
60 years ago, at the conclusion of the financial year, businesses who reported a profit were identified as an honorable business. This is not the case today, some successful businesses operate in the red, however, they have a strong mission statement that addresses their customers (internal and external), products or type of service they provide, a strategy identifying how they will grow and survive (Williams, 2008). Though for an organization to survive, they also must possess strong qualities within their mission and vision statement. This is key to ensure all vested parties have a clear understanding for the company’s existence and where the company is headed in the next 3 to 5 years. Make no mistake, a company who is thriving would
The documentary “The Corporation,” spoke about case histories of the expansion of a modern business corporation, comparing and criticizing them on their practices. It was referring on a diagnosis of the kind of personality that marks the corporations. Some of the externals that take effect are the harm to workers, harm to animals, harm to human health and harm to the biosphere. In the documentary they were stating a checklist of their personality diagnostic towards corporations. An example would be “incapacity to experience guilt, incapacity to keep up human relationship and lastly the failure to conform to social norms and respect the law.” Each of these external groups showed how affecting it was for them. The corporation could be easily related to the conflict theory.
Evan and Freeman believe that managers have a trust-keeping relationship to stakeholders. They think the modern corporation should be governed for the stakeholders and to their benefit. The theory that they believe in is the stakeholder theory of the firm. They believe that in the government today the stakeholders are being used as a means to some end and are not able to contribute in determining the prospect of the company that they have a stake in.
Business corporations are a dog eat world. Business is made up of many aspects from political, social, and environmental responsibilities to those of ethics and responsibility. Every business and major corporation has to deal with these in a much different way. For example, small business’s need more of the social responsibility in order to have more trade and an increased profit. For the major corporations the focus is on what is going on in politics, social, and environmental due to the economy or the state of their countries.

Stakeholders are people or groups with interest in an organization that can affect or be affected by the organization itself, its objectives, or its policies (BusinessDictionary, 2015). Each stakeholder brings their own perspective to the table based on their relationship with the organization (e.g. internal or external role), their level of experience, and their area of expertise about the subject matter they are involved with. At a high level, the list of stakeholders for any organization could include people or groups such as: customers, employees, government agencies, suppliers, unions, community resources, shareholders, and business owners. For the purpose of this assignment, I will discuss and review stakeholders relative to the
The documentary starts off with showing the development of the contemporary business corporation, from beginning as a legal entity to then having the entitlement of having most of the legal rights of a person.
