A.P2 Explain how two contracting businesses are influenced by stakeholders
Stakeholders meaning:
People or groups of people who can be affected by, and therefore have an interest in any action
by an organisation. There are two types of stakeholders, internal and external. In other words,
those within the organisation, such as its employees, and those outside the organisation,
including customers and anyone else with an interest in the business. They all have a stake in
the business.
(The book page 12)
Internal:
The internal stakeholders include managers, employees and owners. Therefore every sector has
internal stakeholders although, for example, a sole trader will not have managers and
employees.
(The book page 12)
External:
Businesses also have external stakeholders. Without them they wouldn’t have a business. These
stakeholders are suppliers, lenders, competitors, creditors and customers.
(The book page 12)
Importance:
Stakeholders provide practical and financial assistance to your company. They increase the
number of individuals who care about the success of your business, making you feel less alone
in your endeavors.
, Espace Hassan:
1. Customers are important because they buy the product and service, customers
purchase goods and services and provide feedback to companies on how to improve
them, they can also influence others by promoting the business to friends and family, the
company can lose profit, they lose sales when they lose customers, and a loss of sales
equates to a loss of earnings, depending on the severity of your client loss, the amount of
money you lose as a result might have a long-term influence on your company's financial
health.
2. The government is important because it provides support, advice and grants, the
government can charge taxes on foreign items in order to raise prices and make
domestic products more desirable which leads to an increase in profit, businesses might
be stifled by higher taxes and restrictions.
3. Investors are important because they provide finance, shareholders influence the
objectives of the business and they assist in business plan making, the negative thing is
that its time consuming, it takes time to find people who are willing to invest in your
company and to decide how much the owner is willing to give in the percentage of
shares.
ONCF
1. The community is important because it provides a workforce, the community results in
better goods, learning and innovation, and corporate development if they are motivated
and want to be involved and part of the business. However, the community can also
impact the decisions of the business. In areas of high unemployment, the business will
struggle to sell their train tickets due to fewer people requiring tickets due to less
disposable income. In the same way that a business might also change their train
schedule times to not cause increased noise pollution in the local area which will be
supportive toward the community.
2. Employees are important because they provide labour services to the business,
employees can have an effect on the business by not working as well as they should,
employees may lose trust in one another, engage in conflict, and fail to perform their
obligations, as a consequence, your company will lose money and miss out on new
possibilities, the amount of consumer complaints is also expected to rise, being optimistic
reduces stress, boosts productivity, and improves interpersonal relationships.
3. Owners are important because they elect the board, they make choices regarding the
business's operations and give financing to help it expand, being an owner is a risk
because you can affect the whole business by doing one single thing wrong if you
employ the wrong people they can steal your money and leave you with nothing that’s
why most people employ people that they trust like friends and family.
B.P3 Explore the organizational structures of two contrasting businesses
Tall organizational structure
A tall organizational structure shows that management is divided into multiple tiers, with
executives at the top and normal staff at the bottom. A tall company will have a significant
number of managers, and each manager will usually be in charge of a small group of people.
