Stake Holder Theory was first introduced by Edward Freeman in
1988. According to his theory he suggests that company success
is mainly depends upon satisfying its stakeholders, and those on
the people who might profit from its stock. The stakeholders
play a very prominent role in the to support the organization
and with those people there would be danger of shutting down
the company. By, ignoring the stakeholders the organization can
have the short-term profits but in the long run the organizations
will face heavy loss if they lose the faith from the stakeholders.
So, for any organization or the company stakeholders are the
backbone for there success.
The stakeholder approach came into existence in the
19th century these approach helped the mangers of the
organization to build a plan to overcome the changes and try to
build a strategic plan which can help them to understand the
necessary steps to adopt and to become successful and it had
replaced the existed plans. The stakeholders are the group of
people who can directly affect the success of the organization.

4. It is simply defined as how the business work at its best and
how it is supposed to functioned.
Stakeholder theory has been able to solve the conflicts like: -
Ø The problem of values relating to creation and trade
Ø The problems of Ethics in capitalism
Ø And to train the workers on how to behave in order to be
successful in the present competitive world.
Stakeholder theory points out that people who own stock in a
business are not only the people who are affected when or gain
advantage due to the changes took place due to the decisions
made because of the business. For, each business’s decisions
will potentially affect the well-being of MANY more people
than just the stockholders (for instance, businesses often
regularly affect the well-being of their employees, their
customers, and the community as a whole). So, each business’s
obligations are to ALL those people.
Finally, to conclude business the final product is that every
business would have a commitment to think about the interests
of ALL partners, and moreover a commitment to Advance the
interests of these partners. Lastly, the partners would reserve
the option to make a move against the business if it neglects to
satisfy these commitments
