10. 06/09/2010 LI – By the end of this lesson I will have an understanding of stakeholders and the influence they hold over a business.

11. Stakeholders From a business point of view a stakeholder is someone who: Has an interest in an organisation Has an influence on an organisation

12. Stakeholders Stakeholders and shareholders are easily confused. Remember: A shareholder is a financial investor in a business A stakeholder is anyone with an interest or influence in a business

13. Stakeholders Stakeholders do not necessarily have a financial interest in an organisation Can include employees, shareholders, volunteers, suppliers, customers, community members and local authorities They may not all want the same thing or have the same ideas for the organisation

14. Stakeholders Think about a large company in manufacturing – a Plc like Ford Stakeholders would include suppliers, shareholders, customers and directors. Can you think of another 3? Safety campaigners, employees, inland revenue, environmental campaigners

15. Stakeholders Think about a large football club, again a Plc. In groups discuss the following: Name 6 stakeholders for the club – for each one state a possible interest and a possible influence the may have.

16. Stakeholders Shareholders – Interests include receiving a share of the clubs profits (dividend) and seeing the club succeed. Influences include maximised profits through increased prices and reduced costs. Can vote at the annual general meeting (AGM) where shareholders and directors meet

17. Stakeholders Players (employees) – Interests include winning games, increasing earnings, sponsorship deals and reputation. Influences the club in matters such as publicity, reputation and sponsorship

18. Stakeholders Directors – Interests include securing the long term success of the club and maximise profits (they may well be shareholders). Influences will include the clubs direction and balancing profits with the needs of the club and its fans.

19. Stakeholders Media – interests will be based around providing news and information to the clubs fans, earning money (normally from advertising). Influences are far reaching as they can actually influence the popularity of the sport itself through television through to funding through buying rights to show games. Media coverage can also influence reputation.

20. Stakeholders Local residents – Interests may be social costs of the stadium itself – parking, crowds, bad behaviour, litter etc. Local business such as pubs and cafés may benefit from the passing trade and community sports projects may also benefit. Influences may include complaints about any of the above and attendance at matches

21. Stakeholders Fans – Interests will include matches, stadium condition, management and players. Many fans are also shareholders. Influences will include fan associations and financial input into the club through ticket and merchandise sales.

22. Stakeholders What are the stakeholders of the classroom business – the fashion store “nothing”? Customers, employees, bank and suppliers Fashion boutique, 3 staff, targets 18-25 yr olds,
