Pawandeep Kaur: I want to give some other definitions of stakeholders and types of them. A stakeholder is a party with an interest in an enterprise or project. There is a one more definition of stakeholders from which we can get more clarification and that is: Stakeholders any individual, social group or actor who possess an interest, a legal obligation, a moral right or other concerns in the decisions or outcomes of an organizations, typically a business firm, corporations or government. if i talk about the types of stakeholders it includes customers, investors, employees and suppliers. they have many different responsibilities and role in the organization and also affected by organization's actions and decisions.
