Stakeholders
In thinking about the info set out in the previous researches we have to keep in mind that the overarching rationale for the participation of any of the stakeholders is the advantageous results that their participation gives them or to those they stand for, instances of these results are set out in the table. When it come to governments this could well be renovations in hygienics, the production of a healthy society and so on. This will not be a genuine reason for various other stakeholders to become involved. For these, staff member efficiency, organisational effectiveness and rise in revenue will turn out to be the main driving force. The functions of specific stakeholders can differ in various situations, e.g., the duty of the Trade Unions could at first hesitate individual however having actually seen the advantages of work environment wellness promo they might become proactive…

Is any company too big to fail? That was the question of the day facing political leaders in September 2008 as the market was rocked by a series of announcements from AIG and other companies concerning what some experts would call catastrophic losses from mortgage-backed securities. AIG happened to be the ringleader of those companies as it announced that it lost nearly $25 billion in one quarter. The U.S. government quickly discerned that the world markets would suffer great difficulties if AIG was allowed to go under and pledged billions of dollars to AIG in an effort to stabilize worldwide markets. When all was said and done, it cost the American taxpayers nearly $182 billion to save AIG from the results of its own actions.
A scenario like the one which AIG engendered leads to an interesting question; who are the stakeholders of AIG, who stood to benefit, who stood to…

Also, businesses should be open to the idea of changing the way these relationships are formed and maintained to make way for the changing business environment. "Changing the prevailing relationship a firm has with its stakeholders offers an opportunity for innovation and the economic rewards that accompany such innovation" (Harting, Harmeling & Venkataraman, 2006, p.44).
Conclusion
In short, different stakeholder groups have a big impact on the performance of a company. Their influence spreads across all aspects of the business including its financial performance. Good relationship with these stakeholder group are vital for the success of the company and the benefits of maintaining such good relations far outweigh the drawbacks that come with it.

Stakeholders
The topic at hand is whether businesses can rely on the premise that profit alone is the end-all be-all of what drives a business and what its endgame should be or whether it should focus at least somewhat on social and corporate responsibility even if it's at the expense of some or many dollars of profit. The author will compare these two disparate viewpoints and offer an overall viewpoint that actually blends the two.
Compare and Contrast
Friedman offers the point that businesses must have a profit to even survive and exist. As such, this drives what the business does, why it does it and how it should do it. The Stone treatise is a counterpoint and it argues that businesses have an obligation and a moral imperative to be stewards of the public good even at the expense of profit. Stone presupposes that firms are mandated and urged to be directed…

The mission is the basic reason for being, what the organization hopes to accomplish. The objectives are more concrete goals that the organization feels will allow it to achieve its mission. The situation analysis takes stock of the internal and external environment, so that the organization has adequate information on which to base its decisions. This information allows the organization to understand what it has, and what opportunities exist.
Strategy formulation involves outlining the strategy to be undertaken to achieve the objectives. This is undertaken based on the knowledge gained in the situational analysis, the idea being to devise a strategy that achieves the objectives within the parameters of the opportunities in the market and the capabilities of the organization. Implementation is the execution of the strategy. It is a set of specific actionable plans, identifying how the organization will make the strategy happen. Control is measuring the results of…

stakeholders for the project be identified. In this case, the company is a mid-level concern (around 3,000 employees) spread among four different regions. Since the project is only occurring in district 4, the primary stakeholders will come from that region. One of the main issues is how will the stakeholders communicate during project completion. A stakeholder is defined as "any person or group who has a vested interest in the success of the project, i.e. either provides services to the project, or receives services from the project. A key stakeholder is defined as: A person whose support is critical to the project -- if the support of a key stakeholder were to be withdrawn, the project would fail" (Princeton, 2003). Some of the stakeholders (CEO, VP, and other board officers) will remain at the company headquarters. The people at the site (district manager and employees at the site) will…

stakeholders at Starbucks. The internal stakeholders include the senior management team, the shareholders, managers and employees, and the Board of Directors. Schultz works closely with all of these groups in order to manage the company. As the firm's inspirational leader and visionary, Schultz guides the senior management team and works closely with the Board, on which he sits. Through the Board, he deals with the shareholders. Overall, all of the internal stakeholders recognize that Schultz is the face of the company and is responsible for all aspects of the company. He has a high level of personal credibility and that helps when he speaks to the different internal stakeholders.
External stakeholder management is a little bit more challenging. There are a number of external stakeholder groups, including various governments, franchise owners, customers, suppliers and other interested groups that monitor the company for its environmental and labor policies. Some of these…

stakeholders for Yahoo?
The key stakeholders for Yahoo include the shareholders of its stock, major executives within the company, its thousands of employees around the world, and the millions of individuals and companies that rely on Yahoo's internet technology services. It is the responsibility of management to ensure than Yahoo is operated to the best of the company's collective ability, both to generate wealth for its shareholders and to assure quality products are delivered to clients and users (Salvatore, 2006). One of the most active stakeholders influencing Yahoo's business decisions in the past few years has been Daniel Loeb, the founder of one Third Point LLC and one of Yahoo's most outspoken investors.

In order to refer to the electronic health records and the ways that HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules apply to EHR, one most briefly present an overview of the technology and its implications. As Wager, Lee and Glaser point out (2009), the EHR is the type of medical record about a patient where the information can be shared and, as such, accessible, to medical staff across more than one health care organization (p. 111).
The advantages of EHR translate primarily into better efficiency, increased productivity and cost reduction. The fact that the medical staff can easily access the available information on the patient is equivalent to a decrease in the number of investigations that need to be conducted for the patient. At the same time, however, translating the information…

Tension in Stakeholder Groups
Tensions in Stakeholder Groups
The author of this report is asked to make a brief offering of how tensions can be sparked when multiple groups of stakeholders coalesce around and offer their voice regarding the same project. This can be even more pronounced if the project is public and expensive in nature. Such was the case in Athens with the AIA project surrounding their airport adjustments that were to occur around the 2004 Olympic Games. This report will discuss the tensions that existed or would exist in a project of that nature and the author will also provide two suggestions as to how to mitigate or even eliminate those tensions.
Whether it be roadways, bridges or other projects of that nature, public-facing or public-used projects that are remotely taxpayer-funded in nature get a special kind of scrutiny and the 2004 Olympic games in Athens (especially in light of the…

Question A
Stakeholder dedication, approval and participation in the overall change process proves crucial to change management initiative success. To this end, stakeholders ought to be adequately informed about change goals and intent, in addition to being accorded a chance to share individual ideas during change initiative implementation. Studies reveal that an open, consultative approach to change implementation leads to better overall outcomes (Chirenje, Giliba & Musamba, 2013).
Studies reveal that without having an effective communication strategy in place, the whole process of change can end up being a disaster. Both a total lack of communication and over-communicating are detrimental, potentially derailing the entire change endeavor. Without ample organization-wide communication or reciprocal conversation, the change attempt might end up not fulfilling its aims. A communication strategy that is straightforwardly and efficiently devised helps build awareness as well as acquire personnel support all through the course of the initiative. The continuum of communication…
U.S. Military -- Stakeholders
The stakeholder group for the U.S. Military is about as diverse as it gets on an organizational level. The U.S. Military is one of the most powerful organizations on the planet and nearly everyone's lives are touched by this organization -- either directly or indirectly. The original meaning of the word stake provides some insights as to who might be the stakeholders for the U.S. Military (Codevilla, 2009).
"In the 19th century the word "stake," which had meant a bet, also came to mean a share, a claim, or an interest. A 1975 British management textbook defines "stakeholders" as "the persons and groups having a direct stake in our organization: the owners, employees... customers, suppliers, financiers, managers, the area in which the organization is established, etc." But as used currently in the U.S., the term is hardly distinguishable from "interest groups" or "corporations." Hence "stakeholder primacy" is close…

However, they are not sufficiently topical. By engaging in a review of more current literature (especially grassroots efforts), it would be possible to engage in longitudinal research of what has transpired since 2004 and 2005. The author should argue for new ways to facilitate direct citizen involvement, because this is necessary to make sure FACA works and stays responsive. For this reason, direct grassroots citizen involvement efforts (especially using social media and the Internet) need to be examined to see how they are dealing with the issue of FACA problems. For instance, the Penn State Law Study advocates more use of the Internet to increase the participation of the lower ranking public stakeholders (Coglianese, Kilmartin & Mendelson, 2008, vi).

Page 15 -- The stakeholders will be the same for all questions (4 groupings); the reasons for each having vested interests are quite similar as well. However, differences in the type of data allow for a more precise set of conclusions to be made. For instance, this set of data is primarily qualitative and may be used to compare overall trends within each stakeholder grouping. So, the goals of reporting the data are identical: information, action, comparison, methodology, and future development. The way the data supports each particular initiative is different.
This set of data, in particular, lends itself far better to a multidisciplinary comparison. For instance, with the previous qualitative data sets, there were general trends based on opinions, feelings, and perceptions. Using quantitative data, we can make judgments based on how students perceive tangible paradigm sets, and what those sets mean to them as ESL learners. The power of…

Making the CVO work, legitimizing it so that it becomes accepted by the valley community, helping it successfully and diplomatically negotiate with and integrate its numerous players in diverse yet collaborate and harmonious partnership directed to the same goal was the key, and huge, issue that Sally Parker had to deal with.
ecommended Action
Sally is recommended to adopt the Forming, Storming, Performing, and Norming framework where it is recognized that for a team to effectually work and cohesify it has to go through various initial phases. Tuckman's model of groups that are characteristically formed of 4 stages - forming, storming, norming, and performing (with later a fifth, Adjourning, added) - can help here (Chapman, n.d.).
In the Forming stage, the CVO can help representatives of each of the three other groups know each other…

Stakeholder in U.S. Health Care System
Health care stakeholders in the U.S.A.
US Healthcare System consist of different stakeholders who have their role to play in making sure there is a smooth running and efficient provision of services. These stakeholders become involved within the healthcare system in different stages and perspective. Their aim is to shape the U.S. health care system to ensure more quality services are provided to the citizens.
One of the major stakeholders is patients who are involved in paying for the health care system and they are also the end-use of it. Patients always form a major factor to be considered whenever there is discussion concerning health care legislation and policies. Even though they are provided with limited opportunities for contributing to the policy-making and decision-making for the system for which they pay, as well as for assessing its performance or offering ideas for change, they always posses valuable…

Stakeholders and Ethics
Stakeholders in an Organization
Stakeholders are those individuals who have a stake, a claim or an interest in a company or organization. Such individuals get different types of rewards, such as organizational status, returns or power, because they contribute some sort of expertise, skill and/or knowledge to the organization. Dell Inc. is one of the biggest global tech corporations that build and sell PCs and computer related hardware. In 1988, the organization changed its name to Dell Computer Corporation and tried selling its PCs through stores, a few years later, in 1990. The latter move was, however, unsuccessful and they reverted to selling their products directly to their clients. One of the key things that have ensured success for the company over the years, is their flexibility. The company strives to incorporate stakeholder and consumer feedback into its product design and innovation processes. This guarantees it, customer loyalty. Through…

How does ExxonMobil Chemicals involve its stakeholders in decisions?
Discussions with communities in the initial stages of a project permits ExxonMobil to recognize opportunities as well as concerns and develop efficient measures of management in the planning stage of the project. By striving to evade or lessen as much issues as possible at the start, the company is able to prevent project interruptions, delays, minimize expenditures, and also avoid the growth of issues.
The community awareness programs and government relations are controlled by ExxonMobil's Best Practices in External Affairs (BPEA). Guaranteeing mutual understanding, respect as well as trust in the firm's stakeholder relationships, imply that interested parties are represented as contracts are developed. It also assists the company to create useful relationships with the stakeholders that can offer significant contribution into the decision-making procedure, over the long-term. Once a project begins, ExxonMobil offers local people and groups, a communication channel for airing…

Stakeholders' interest, power, and influence
Outpatient unit administration has a principal reputational and financial interest in any alteration made within a healthcare setting. This comes from having the authority and power to carry out or reject suggested proposals. Several key players or stakeholders, have interest in how policy and problems like nursing shortages affect their performance output.
Nurses have personal, direct-effect interest in the proposed changes for obvious reasons. For example, they stay directly affected by the number of hours they work in relation to the patient ratio they meet, seeking to offer quality healthcare services. When nurses endure a heavy work load due to nursing shortages, this has an impact on job satisfaction as well as quality of healthcare delivery. Nurses must address numerous daily responsibilities and are responsible for the lives of each patient under their care. From medication dispensing, to prescription filling, to collecting patient history, nurses have a…
Appropriate Objectives: Managers in Accounting and Finance
According to the classical theory of the ethical responsibilities of a firm, the sole obligation of the firm is to shareholders and the need to make a profit to sustain them economically. However, this classical theory has since been challenged by arguments that sustainability, obligations to employees and the community, and professional and social ethics must also influence firm decision-making. Particularly in the wake of a rash of corporate scandals, there have been calls to reevaluate the focus on profit-making alone, particularly profit-making with a single-minded focus on the short term.
According to Jensen (2010) “at the heart of the current global corporate governance debate is a remarkable division of opinion about the fundamental purpose of the corporation” (p.32). Managers, particularly in the realm of accounting and finance, may find themselves in the thick of such debate as the formerly single-minded focus upon the balance…

The stakeholders of the most successful projects are the catalyst of the traditional managerial functions of planning, organizing, leading, motivating and defining control measures as well (Karlsen, 2002). The observation is also made that the reliance purely on the mechanics of stakeholder management aren't nearly as valuable as having a more unified, highly integrated platform of trust across all stakeholders. The goal of stakeholder management isn't the defining of the status quo from stakeholder requirements or interruptions; it is the creation and solidifying of a very high level of trust and shared risk and reward mindset across the entire stakeholder team.
To enable this level of cross-stakeholder trust and communication, the author has defined a six-step process that is designed for iterative process definition and development of trust-based relationships. These six processes include initial planning, identification, analysis, communication, action and follow-up (Karlsen, 2002). Based on the attitudinal data captured with…

More recent surveys have seen Nike continue to trail the industry average, indicating a long-term trend of only somewhat meeting customer expectations (ASCI, 2009).
holesale and retail channels are a critical external stakeholder because of the role that they play in the company's route to market. ithout support of wholesalers and retailers, Nike could only rely on its own-branded stores to bring its shoes and apparel to consumers. Nike's distribution is strong, and the company's merchandise enjoys relative ubiquity. This implies a general degree of satisfaction on the part of retailers with the support that Nike provides them. By the same token, there is no evidence of superior rates of satisfaction among Nike's wholesalers or retailers relative to other firms in the industry.

Analysis
It is said that "once you have mapped your stakeholders you can focus your efforts on the highest priority groups while providing sufficient information to keep the less powerful groups happy" (Morphy 2011). This is a critical component of analyzing the stakeholders of the Miami-Dade Police Department. As with all local police…

A stakeholder is defined as "a person, group, or organization that has direct or indirect stake in an organization because it can affect or be affected by the organization's actions, objectives, and policies" (Business Dictionary.com.

Introduction
Preliminary stakeholder identification around any natural resource proves vital to carrying out meaningful trans- disciplinary researches with regard to managing that particular resource. Stakeholders may be defined as all players capable of impacting, or being impacted by, any action or decision (after Freeman 1984). Natural resource management research scholars (e.g. Grimble and Wellard 1997; Dougill et al. 2006; Ravnborg and Westermann 2002) constantly report that the inclusion of stakeholders in finding solutions facilitates mutual learning and negotiation, improves stakeholder buy- in and support of actions and decisions, and decreases conflict. Trans- disciplinary study strategies build on this rationale through assimilating stakeholders and integrating the diverse kinds of ideas and knowledge they bring with them to the table in socially- sound, solution- focused studies (Lang et al. 2012; Bracken et al. 2014; Hurni and Wiesmann 2014).
Quite frequently, project reports and scholarly papers’ descriptions pertaining to stakeholder identification are vague.…

Stakeholder analysis should be conducted in order to better understand how the different stakeholders will respond to a new project proposal. There are many interests within an organization, and they can play different roles with any new project, usually related to the impact that the project will have on their interests. By identifying stakeholders, the organization can allow those planning the project to anticipate problems, to gather support for the project, and to line…

Identification of Stakeholders
Stakeholder Communication
Identification of Stakeholders
Stakeholders are defined as those groups of people or individuals who have the potential to exert influence on an organization. They are the individuals or groups that help businesses and organizations to be successful.
Stakeholders have certain expectations from the company in a very similar manner as an organization needs support from the stakeholders and hence the assessment of the degree to which these expectations are managed to be satisfied by the organization in a balanced fashion is a value that indicates the current and future performance of the organization.
There are two essential groups of stakeholders in relation to any company -- internal and external. The stakeholders who normally are not in the pay role of an organization and who are not directly associated with the company are termed as external stakeholders. One the other hand the people directly connected to an organization are known…

The organizational strategy
The Criminal Intelligence Bureau has a strategic plan founded on four pillars. The criminal intelligence personnel form the first pillar. From this pillar, the Criminal Intelligence Bureau intends to heighten the national criminal intelligence through devoting resources to cultivate intelligence expertise and equipment to pull talent in the intelligence industry through the Criminal Intelligence Bureau hiring policies (Fijnaut, 2011).
Secondly, the Criminal Intelligence Bureau aims at providing support to intelligence personnel via directions given by the leadership of the organization. The organization achieves this…

Identifying Stakeholders
Stakeholder engagement is an important component to managing a project. Human beings are complex and it can be difficult to effectively communicate with many individuals and groups. However, it is often the case that a project's success depends on effective communication with those involved. Project managers need to identify the stakeholders to in order to develop a communication plan. Stakeholders can be thought of as anyone that has a "stake" in the project. This can include everyone from investors, to employees, subcontractors, the end users or the operations team, and many more. Furthermore, the specific set of stakeholders can vary from project to project; both internally and externally to the project. Therefore, it is necessary to officially identify the unique set of stakeholders that can influence the project.
The stakeholder analysis is defined as "systematically gathering and analyzing quantitative and qualitative information to determine whose interests should be…

Assessment of a Fluoridation Policy from the Perspective of Different Stakeholders
When examining the different potential; perspectives of different stakeholders, it is important to note that many of the concerns and issues are not mutually exclusive to the different stakeholders and different perspectives. he following matrix presents some of the potential views of different stakeholders from different perspectives.
Stakeholders:
Possible perspectives held by these stakeholders:
Conservative
Liberal
Legal
Religious
Ethical
Cultural
Societal
Economic
Legislators
Legislation is needed to enforce what has been a voluntary measure in the past, as many communities have not yet adopted the practice. he benefits outweigh the cost, and it is cost effective to add fluoride to the water; saving between $8 and $49 for each $1 spent (CDC, 2013).
Individual freedoms should be protected; placing fluoride in the water forces all those who use the water to consume the fluoride, without any choice or autonomy, and possibly without their knowledge.
here may be concern for the potential of a legal…
The firm should be able to respond to market needs; if the customers want fluoride in the water they will demand it, and water companies will need to provide it, it should be left to market forces.
May be concern regarding potential liability is it is later proven there are health risks associated with fluoride. May also have concerns regarding specific risks / liabilities to high risk individuals, such as those on dialysis (National Kidney Foundation, 2008).
There may also be concerns regarding the issue of compliance, how it will be checked and

hile a general set of ethics and behaviors is easily and agreeably called for, satiating and satisfying every group of stakeholders involved is often a losing game but the right groups of stakeholders can and should be satisfied and catered to.

Ethics that are based only on the law and compliance with it and nothing else
Second Point-of-View
Ethics that mandate compliance with the law and extensive circumstances that take all internal and external stakeholders into account. The environment and animals can also be "stakeholders

Stakeholder Analysis: Starbucks Frappuccino
The Starbucks Corporation initially originated as an attempt to bring European-style cafe culture to the United States. However, in a drive to remain profitable and relevant as well as to honor its initial mission and vision, Starbucks has had to make some concessions to local tastes. One of these has been the development of the Frappuccino, a sweet, blended coffee beverage that is half-milkshake, half-iced coffee: it is both a unique product and also a unique service given that the blend is exclusively available at Starbucks' stores. Starbucks has continued to develop and reconfigure the Frappuccino to suit the evolving palates of its international consumer base. This has ensured that the company has enjoyed a strong bottom line, despite cheaper copycats from its rivals. The company recently released several innovative new flavors for the Frappuccino as well as new sizes to drive interest in its product. "The…

Financial Stakeholders in a Business
Main financial stakeholders, their power and influence in a business
Stakeholders refer to people affected or have an interest in the objectives and operations of the business. The business has a variety of stakeholder segments, which have been broadly categorized as follows:
The classification of stakeholders varies in terms of interests to the activities of the business and their power to influence key decisions. The fact is that key stakeholders do not enjoy equality in terms of their influence and power. This is evident across all business sectors. Senior managers tend to have more influence compared to mere environmental activists (Schaltegger & Burritt, 2010). The table below defines the main financial stakeholders and their impact on the business:

Essentially, most businesses view shareholders, i.e. The owners of a business as being the most important stakeholder group. It therefore follows that as per this view, a business entity has an obligation to put the needs of stockholder/owners first. It should, however, be noted that there are numerous other groups that also have an interest in the enterprise, and who are affected by the firm's actions. Key stakeholder groups according to Sims (2003, p. 74) include, but they are not limited to, "shareholders and investors, employees, customers, and suppliers…the government and communities…"

Starbucks relies on their suppliers for a constant supply of consistent, high quality products. This stakeholder relationship is strong for both groups.
A key group of supply-side stakeholders for Starbucks are coffee growers. The company's size makes them one of the world's largest purchasers of coffee beans. It is not just size that makes Starbucks important, however. Their high visibility means that they are in a position of influence with regards to their coffee purchasing decisions. The coffee industry worldwide is representative of global agricultural issues such as sustainability and fair trade farming. Coffee producers are a major stakeholder for Starbucks because the firm has staked its reputation on high quality coffee. They need to develop sustainable sources of quality beans. For the coffee producers, Starbucks' position with regards to their needs can have a tremendous impact on the ways in which other coffee purchasers treat them as well. Starbucks…

The customers have often been left at dead-ends in the company's product strategy with only high-priced options left for moving into a next-generation product (Jonash, Koehler, Onassis, 2007). Suppliers have often been given inadequate information on new products, and if they are given new product designs, held to very stringent standards as to how they are used (Apple Investor elations, 2011). Apple admits in its financial statements and filings with the SEC that their practices with regard to new product development and supply chain integration with Foxconn in China have been exceptionally tight, yet they content that is to maintain confidentiality of development practices (Apple Investor elations, 2011). Foxconn has seen Apple iPhone prototypes stolen or lost with potential damage to the product leadership of the company as a result (Balfour, Culpan, 2010).

Types of responsibilities an organization has to stakeholders
This article is subject to the responsibilities that the organization has towards the stakeholders. They include both external and internal stakeholders. Internal stakeholders refer to the shareholders who are the management and employees. External stakeholders refer to the community, credit competitors, suppliers and consumers. The employees are considered significant stakeholders. The employees remain in a subservient position in the organization regardless of the fact that they provide the necessary labor. Regarding this fact, state and federal laws have been put in place to govern the rights of employees and ensure that they are fairly compensated and treated with respect. The employment laws provides for 8 rights of the employee. They include the freedom of voicing concerns without retaliation from the employer, medical and family leave, non-discriminatory hiring, benefits of unemployment, safe working environment, and equal compensation regardless of gender, minimum wage and the…
Powerful Stakeholder Policy to Prevent Industrial Environmental Impact
Friedman's stakeholder theory emphasizes the critical function of stakeholders in determining company's goals and responsibilities. Responsibility in a corporation is stated as individual role of each employee and manager to act and report to the upper level and finally to the decision-making boards.
As the top-level management and decision makers, corporate directors address their responsibility to the stakeholders, literally as the "owners" of the company, to whom all the running processes in the company, goal settings, and money spent should be reported. To follow the track, a manager is tied to what his/her employers have defined in the tasks list. Whatever skills and creativity managers possess must be utilized within the range of responsibility they have to the stakeholders, as stakeholders are the top decision-making board.
Company directors act based on the interest of shareholders as stakeholders. Scholl reads them as the "agents of…

Lifetime Achievement:
Strategic management is increasingly important in the public sector. Public sector organizations are incorporating strategic management principles in an effort to enhance organizational effectiveness and efficiency. In any organization, “strategic management is the center of all managerial activities” (Doss, Guo & Lee, 2012, p. 33). This underscores the importance of effective strategic management. Strategic management is particularly important within the context of law enforcement. Law enforcement organizations must have a specified vision and mission as well as goals and objectives. For a police department, the goals and objectives must be informed by both internal and external factors, such as available financial resources and personnel, crime rates, and socio-cultural setup. During strategic planning, the department must, for example, consider whether it has the resources and personnel needed to respond to crime, prevent crime, and to enhance public safety.
An important aspect of strategic management relates to stakeholder involvement. As an organization, the…
Thus, if any of us was one of the "actors', we would be tempted to judge each alternative in a subjective manner. If we were the patients, the AECL board or the hospitals we would want Therac-25 to be approved. If we were the public or FDA we would want the equipment out of the market.
The main alternative to the reality would have been for AECL to take under consideration a software error. One other alternative would have been for the company to assign more accurate probabilities for hazard occurrence, while running the Fault Tree Analysis. Finally, the third alternative would have been to use a better method to determine hazard occurrence. A better method is a method that would have been capable to return higher risks associated with the use of Therac-25 and which would have determined AECL to adjust the equipment. The first alternative is superior to…

Organizational Stakeholders
Over the last several years, Home Depot has been through a number of different challenges. Part of the reason why this was occurring, is because of shifts in the housing market with consumers dramatically cutting back on their spending. This had a negative impact on the earnings of the company and it has resulted in the former CEO Robert Nardelli being forced to resign. The reason why is because, the needs of various shareholders were not being taken into account. ("Home Depot CEO," 2007) Once this occurred, it meant that there would be new management who were attempting to address all of these different needs. To fully understand how this is taking place requires looking at: the various stakeholders for Home Depot, how the CEO manages the demands of stakeholders and the way they are presently addressing these needs. Once this occurs, it will provide the greatest insights as…

Dilmah Tea
Stakeholder Analysis
Customer Segments
There are two ways of looking at Dilmah's customers. The buyers -- to whom Dilmah sells -- are the supermarkets and wholesalers that carry the tea. The other customer group is the end user. Tea is a mass market product that is consumed by a broad swath of the population, and to the extent that there is a definable "typical" demographic for tea consumption, this will vary by market. Initially, the company experienced difficulty in attracting interest from supermarket chains, which would then have had to utilize a push strategy to convince consumers to buy the tea. Over time, however, Dilmah was able to build its brand, making it more attractive to both supermarkets and consumers.
The global hot beverages market is worth $69.77 billion and the two major segments (coffee and tea) are both growing (PR eb, 2011). The growing demand, combined with constrained consumption, means that…

Identified to be "…an important aspect of building school community" by parents was the factor of "communication." (Gouthro and Gibson, 1996) Also emergent in the study was the factor of "resources" in that parents and community organizations are more willing and able to provide for the school community in the area of resources but are often unsure of what is needed and suggest that school administrators ensure that the needs are well-known in the school community.

Major Directives
Behind any successful non-profit organization is a set of governance principles, and the better instructed leadership is in these principles, the more effectively the organzation may fulfill its mission. Number thirty-one of Pointer and Orlikoff (2002)'s governance principles (p. 59-63) outlines the triple "core roles" of a board. In order to effectively govern the organization, a board must fulfill policy formulation, decision making, and oversight. These roles provide a focus for governance so that management has room to implement the major directives.

ole of Stakeholders
Over the last several years, a variety of firms have been increasingly focused on quality. This is because stakeholders are demanding that there are improvements in these areas. To fully understand what is happening, there will be a focus on the role of these individuals in implementing quality management control processes. Together, these elements will show how firms are working with different stakeholders to achieve these objectives. (Foster, 2007)
Stakeholders are playing an integral part in helping to ensure that a company is addressing the needs of customers (through: product superiority and excellence). This means that there are many different individuals who will play an important role in reaching these goals to include: employees, managers and cliental. Employees are significant, because they are working directly with customers and suppliers. This is helps them to understand what is most important to consumers and how the firm can address these needs.…

However, narrow quantitative measurements of performance (such as sales figures) may not adequately assess the employee's success in the given environment at the time or encapsulate qualities such as teamwork. Regardless of the difficulty in striking a balance between objective and subjective measures of performance, and whether negative or positive, performance management must be consistent, timely, and specific to result in real improvements in employee behavior.
Describe the strategic importance of training and development.
Training sets the tone of the organization: it sets expectations regarding performance and also interpersonal expectations of appropriate behavior at the firm, such as tolerance of diversity. Development activities keep the best people at the company, and ensure that the initial investment in training was worthwhile.

Ducati -- passion leading from bankruptcy to success
Ducati is a name that most motorcycling enthusiasts are likely to associate with passion and brute force. The Italian bike manufacturer is known for making motorcycles designed for a particular type of people and the motorcycles it produces induce intense feelings in individuals riding them. Regardless if they are moving or if they stand still, Ducatis always manage to make heads turn and have succeeded in remaining an important player in a global market involving companies that are much larger than the Italian enterprise. This is also shown by the fact that Ducati has experienced a series of victories in the MotoGP and the Superbike orld Champions tournaments.
Ducati experienced…

The Challenge of Managing All Stakeholders in the Context of a Merger Process
Mergers and acquisitions became central features of organizational life in the last part of the 20th century, particularly as organizations seek to establish and maintain competitiveness in an increasingly globalized economy (Nevaer & Deck, 1996). Mergers are generally described as being the formal joining or combining of two corporations or business (Prichett, 1987), although both the framework and the method of merger vary greatly. The reasons for mergers are different based on what a company is trying to accomplish. The acquiring firm may seek to eliminate a competitor; to increase its efficiency; to diversify its products, services, and markets; or to reduce its taxes.…

Teams, Diversity, Stakeholders, and Organizational Conflict
The role of leadership in managing conflict in interpersonal, team, and organizational contexts in times of change, with a particular focus on downsizing
The term leadership can be defined as the actions an individual takes when he or she directs the activities of a team or group. the behavioral aspects or actions taken by a leader to influence his team and to help the team cope with change are some of the most important aspects of leadership (Abdulaziz Al-Sawai, 2013). Whenever a leader announces change in a company, it is only natural for employees to hope that the outcomes would affect them advantageously. All staffs normally hope that the management or the supervisors will take into account their efforts and needs. Hence, trust between the employees and their leaders is one of the most crucial factors in influencing how employees will react in response to proposed…

Organizational Chart
The Children's Hospital of Massachusetts has a fairly basic and regimented structure. There is some lateral movement in some of the layers but it is mostly top down with a clear demarcation and assembly of who is in charge of what and who reports to whom. This report will briefly cover that and will also answer questions about how this organization compares to other organizations, the overall stakeholder relationship relationships that exist and how to improve all of the above, if possible. The organizational chart for the company in question is shown in the first appendix.

Change Initiative: Communicating to Key Stakeholders
Know your audience
Just as a teacher conveys a lesson differently to students of varied ranges of abilities and age groups, a communicator of change must tailor the change message to the audience. What are his or her needs? Parents may be attracted to the idea of children gaining additional enrichment experiences that can help their children advance in life and get into college. Teachers might be excited by the possibility of giving additional input in how lessons are taught. The psychology and needs of the stakeholders will impact how the message will be shaped and which aspects will be emphasized.
Use different media
All too often, school districts merely deploy one means of communication when dealing with the public and employees. Merely having a meeting is not enough, as only the most interested and highly invested stakeholders will attend. Nor is sending out a flyer to parents…

Drilling in the Alaskan Wilderness, the primary ethical issue is environmental, putting petroleum production development against preservation in Section 1002 of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska. Secondary ethical issues relate to specific impacts that development would have on inhabitants of the ANWR, including the Inupiat Eskimos, the Gwich'in, wildlife such as caribou, and wilderness that is represented within this area. This is an ethical issue because decisions must balance a sense of right and wrong without clear answers when deciding how much wilderness will be protected and what level of development will occur.
Members of Congress are the primary decision-makers. The ANWR falls under the jurisdiction of the United States Fish & Wildlife Service, making federal legislators the group that is responsible for setting the overall direction for this protected area. Stakeholders of the ANWR include the Inupiat Eskimos and the Gwich'in. Both of these groups rely on…

ho are the main stakeholders in the zoo acquisition?
There are two directly opposing groups in the zoo acquisition. The first group, represented by Rollo, is comprised of the new purchasers of the zoo and the people who thus have a financial stake in the success and progression of the zoo. Rollo has been given strict instructions that the zoo is to be completely and thoroughly reorganized to both increase attendance and provide a surge in the profit margin of the enterprise. His employers, Octopus Inc. demand that each business in the empire have a 20% profit margin. At present the zoo is not making any profit whatsoever. These are the financial stakes involved in the equation. On the opposing side of the equation are those who are involved with the zoo in its current iteration. They have an emotional stake in this acquisition because they are mainly concerned with…
