Meeting the objectives of all stakeholders may be desirable but it is rarely profitable. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Meeting the objectives of all stakeholders may be desirable but it is rarely profitable. To what extent do you agree with this statement? A stakeholder is a person or group who is affected by a business, I agree that meeting the objectives of all stakeholders may be desirable but is rarely profitable. Because stakeholders such as the local community may want environmentally friendly products which are high quality and a fair price, whereas managers want more sales which leads to more revenue to get a promotion. Therefore following this objective would be expensive as environmentally friendly products are more expensive than regular products and selling this at a fair price would be quite hard as it would be less profitable. Another reason why meeting the objectives of all stakeholders may be desirable but less profitable is that stakeholders such as employees may want higher wages/higher salaries, however, this may motivate them to sell more but the company could make a loss in profit and some business owners want to make as much profit as they can and this can, therefore, cause conflict and cause employees to go on strike, which therefore doesn’t meet the objectives. Some people may disagree as if you make stakeholders happy such as the local community there will be more sales- and when there are more sales there is more revenue, which leads to more profit, which would

Introduction From a non profit making company my task is to select one that meets their aims in a competitive manner. My chosen company will be The National Trust.

Break it like Beckham - Manchester United football club has a number of stakeholders.

Manchester United football club has a number of stakeholders. Stakeholders are an individual or group with a direct interest in an organisations performance. The main stakeholders are the employees, the shareholders, customers, suppliers, financers and the local community. The employees main interests are to get pay rises and to get better training, the team players for example want better training so they can perform better and more effectively. The shareholders main interests are, that Manchester United play good games and win as much as possible therefore the share prices go up, and the shareholders get more dividends. The main interests of the financers, e.g. the sponsors are to make sure there brand name gets advertised and their company logo is seen on the players shirts, they also want a team that wins the matches so that their company can be associated with a winning champion team. The suppliers are also stakeholders and their main interests are that Manchester united keep-purchasing products from them so they will be making lots of profits. The main interests of the employees (the football players) are to get paid highly and to have good training facilities.

Drama work In class we have been studying the theme "keep young and beautiful" in those days women did not have equal rights to men. So as the men went to work and earned their profit for the family the women would stay and home and do their chaos and make-up their selves in order to look pretty for their husbands. Originally in the 1930's "keep young and beautiful" was sang by Al Dublin and Harry warren. In the 1930's The song "keep young and beautiful" was sang ironically because a woman was singing a negative view about women. Women saw this as fun and educational as they agreed with the message and saw it was their job. In the 1990's the song was covered by Annie Lennox in a sarcastic version this was because as women now had equality and could see the patronising and negative messages in the song. At the beginning of the performance we walked onto the back of the stage and were standing in a horizontal line with our backs to the audience in different positions. As we had our backs to the audience we were all in flirtatious positions Gangendeep had her hands holding her hips, I had a glorious smile with my hand just above my head, Nicole also had her hands holding her hips, Dearmett had her hands out with a proud smile like she just got a A* in her GCSE's and Cylen had a cheesy smile standing straight with her lip gloss glowing like stars.

The Big Issue

The Big Issue The big issue, what is it all about? The big issue is a charity that has been set up to help those people unfortunate enough to be left without a home, to hopefully rebuild their lives and to help them help themselves. The big issue has been helping thousands of homeless people across the United Kingdom. Each and every Big Issue seller is treated the same; when they come to the us, they are given their first batch of the Big Issue magazines for free. It is then up to the individual to decide how they will spend their profits; we can not force them to continue with the Big Issue. But if they decide to put some of their profits towards another batch of magazines, then they can then continue to carry on selling them and begin to start making profits to hopefully go towards some form of accommodation. It is often not the homeless person's fault that they have been left without a home, they may have suffered from abuse in the home and had to leave, or perhaps there was a death in their family which has caused them substantial income problems. There are many reasons why the person has been left without home, .So the next time you see a Big issue seller on the street think to yourself for a moment. Then begin to realise that for whatever reason they are homeless, they are now trying to make a mend, and rebuild a life for themselves. Thankyou very much for
