Produce a leaflet which links the needs and wants of stakeholder groups and how they might seek to influence the aims of each organisation.
Tesco stakeholders:
What are the aims and wants of customers?
Is there anything in the statement above about quality products at reasonable prices?
Is there anything in the document below about trading in an ethical fashion?
If customers were
not happy with the price, quality, ethical standards or customer service it is likely that they
would shop elsewhere.
This would put huge influence on Tesco to change its
priorities.
Tesco core purpose and values: more here.
What are the aims and wants of employees?
Employees would
seek for the company to use a proportion of the profits they make to increase
wages and improve employee working conditions.
Shareholders are unlikely to be
very happy with this.
Suppliers?
Suppliers want regular orders and to be paid on time. What might they do if this
does not happen?
Local community?
How could the local
community put pressure on Tesco to change?
Shareholders?
If shareholders
were unhappy with the business they could sell their shares.
A falling share
price would put pressure on Tesco Directors to change direction.
The government (HMRC)?

Stakeholder group:
Teaching staff.
College objective: 'Destination of choice for staff'.
What do you think the needs and wants of staff would be for this aim to be achieved?
'We will ensure staff have the necessary resources to deliver outstanding teaching'.
What resources?
What potential conflict could you see between the needs and wants of the teachers and college management?
Teachers could seek to
influence the aims of the college through their Trade Union (University and
Colleges Union).
The threat of
industrial action could force senior managers to change the aims of the
college.
Students
'Our aim is to achieve success rates of 90%'.
What do you think the needs and wants of students would be for this aim to be achieved?
If students were
unhappy they could organize protests to change the ways in which things are
done.
This may influence the actions of the college management team.
College Management Team.
'Cost reduction and efficient delivery of services'.
How could management achieve this?
What about the needs and wants of:
Parents?
Parents could
complain to OFSTED and inspectors could instruct the college management team to
change their policies.
The government (through OFSTED)?
The local community?
