Key stakeholders in consumerism are consumers, businesses, and the government. Consumer groups in India advocate for consumers' rights and educate consumers. Initiatives like ASCI's advertising standards and government regulations on pollution and advertising have helped make the marketplace fairer for consumers.

Beating the Odds – A Tale of One Company’s Rapid Rise to Maturity Level 5Henry Schneider
While implementing the CMMI at Maturity Levels 2 and 3 usually contributes to some level of improved performance, successfully implementing Maturity Level 5 enables an organization to begin to truly optimize their performance. This distinction is even more noteworthy when an organization matures rapidly. A division of a large international systems integration company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea (LG CNS, LG Insurance Sector) reached this pinnacle in October 2005 having successfully reached Maturity Level 5 after achieving Maturity Level 3 just twelve months earlier. Though this speedy rise through the Maturity Levels can not be accomplished by everyone, there are certain attributes, practices, and lessons learned that can be applied to any organization seeking to manage change, improve processes, and rapidly transform performance.
