Stakeholder Management

Stakeholder Management

Proper stakeholder management is critical to the success of any organization. It involves taking appropriate steps to identify, prioritize and understand each stakeholder group so as to manage them effectively. Effective communication and engagement are, therefore, necessary if an organization wants to reap optimal benefits from its stakeholder management.

The approaches to stakeholder management may vary across organizations. Typically, however, organizations try, as much as possible, to balance stakeholder interests. This has the effect of limiting any potential conflicts.

Stakeholder Management Components

To facilitate balancing of stakeholder interests, corporate governance and stakeholder management frameworks reflect legal, contractual, organizational, and governmental infrastructures. These four components define the rights, responsibilities, and powers of each stakeholder group.

Legal Infrastructure

Legal infrastructure defines the framework for legally establishing rights as well as the remedial action to be taken for violations of these rights.

Contractual Infrastructure

Contractual infrastructure refers to the contractual arrangements which are entered into by an organization and its stakeholders and which help to define and secure the rights of both parties. An organization has the most control over this component of stakeholder management as compared to other components.

Organizational Infrastructure

Organizational infrastructure refers to the internal systems and governance practices that an organization uses to manage its stakeholder relationships.

Governmental infrastructure

Governmental infrastructure refers to the regulations which are imposed on an organization by the government.

Question

    Excelente para el FRM 2 Escribo esta revisión en español para los hispanohablantes, soy de Bolivia, y utilicé AnalystPrep para dudas y consultas sobre mi preparación para el FRM nivel 2 (lo tomé una sola vez y aprobé muy bien), siempre tuve un soporte claro, directo y rápido, el material sale rápido cuando hay cambios en el temario de GARP, y los ejercicios y exámenes son muy útiles para practicar.

    So helpful. I have been using the videos to prepare for the CFA Level II exam. The videos signpost the reading contents, explain the concepts and provide additional context for specific concepts. The fun light-hearted analogies are also a welcome break to some very dry content. I usually watch the videos before going into more in-depth reading and they are a good way to avoid being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content when you look at the readings.

    A great curriculum provider. James sir explains the concept so well that rather than memorising it, you tend to intuitively understand and absorb them. Thank you ! Grateful I saw this at the right time for my CFA prep.

    Professor James' videos are excellent for understanding the underlying theories behind financial engineering / financial analysis. The AnalystPrep videos were better than any of the others that I searched through on YouTube for providing a clear explanation of some concepts, such as Portfolio theory, CAPM, and Arbitrage Pricing theory. Watching these cleared up many of the unclarities I had in my head. Highly recommended.
