STAKEHOLDER

Internal Stakeholder Roles: Internal stakeholders usually have a financial interest in the organization.
These include shareholders, the board of directors and investors. These stakeholders are said to have a
vested interest in the success of the company because of their financial investment. One of the main roles
internal stakeholders have is voting rights based on the number of shares owned or the percentage of the
company owned. The board of directors usually votes for things like new acquisitions, liquidations, key
position hiring, and oversight and budget items including distributed profits. Those with larger stakes in
the company might meet with leaders, brainstorm development or marketing ideas, and identify new areas
for market penetration.

External Stakeholder Roles :The roles of external stakeholders often reflect the community,
government or environmental concerns. For example, an automotive manufacturer seeking to build
a new plant might need to meet with the city council and the environmental protection agency
representatives to review potential benefits and disadvantages to the community and environment.
Ignoring external stakeholders could lead to stalling or blocking of projects. It is best to allow
external stakeholders a voice in the process and brainstorm with them regarding solutions that
work for the company and the community alike.
Responsibilities: Being a business owner brings more responsibilities than you might imagine. While
your goal is to earn money for you and other owners of the business, you have customers, community
members, suppliers, employees and business partners who have needs or requirements, too. Satisfying
these stakeholders helps your business thrive and avoid negative backlash.
