Stakeholder Approach to Corporate Responsibility

The book "Outliers: The Story of Success" is a non-fiction literary work written by Malcolm Gladwell in 2008. In this book, Gladwell has explained the underlying reasons for the success of certain very famous individuals. He has called such people "outliers", which by definition is any value that lies far away from, or at the extreme ends of, a set of data. Similarly, Gladwell has explained such individuals to be very different from the rest of us, exceptional, far removed in their immense success. In the book Gladwell has explained certain factors he believes are the reason for the success of, say, Bill Gates and the Beatles. These include the "Matthew Effect", which Gladwell has used to explain why many elite Canadian hockey players are all born in the first few months of the year. The reason he gives for this is that, as youngsters, these hockey players had an advantage of being older and hence bigger and more mature than their younger opponents, and therefore received extra coaching. This enabled the likelihood of their being selected into elite hockey leagues. In this way, the stronger kept getting stronger and the weaker (those born in late months and less mature) kept getting weaker, i.e. they did not make it to the major leagues. This is called the "accumulative advantage" by Gladwell, or the "Matthew Effect" (named after a biblical verse in the Gospel of Matthew).

The membership model is very important in the Nonprofit Sector. It provides not only a networking system for organizations with common interests, but it also provides an avenue for which needs are provided for that would otherwise be unmet. For example, education and training that promote compliance with industry standards is something that membership organizations, or associations, have taken on where government could not afford to. By assuming this role in society, membership organizations instill a sense of confidence and safety in the forms of codes of ethics and accountability as well as good standards and practices.
