STAKEHOLDERS
Stakeholders are individuals, groups, or organizations who have an interest in the action of an organization and have the ability to influence it. They work together for the development of the company.
Stakeholders can affect or be affected by the organization's actions, objectives, and policies. In most firms, there are two types of stakeholders; internal and external.
Investors are a common type of internal stakeholder and are greatly affected by the outcome of a business.
External stakeholders are a little harder to identify, seeing as they do not have a direct relationship with the company. Instead, an external stakeholder is normally a person or organization affected by the operations of the business.
