"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to explore an important concept in business: stakeholders.
First, let’s define what we mean by stakeholders. Stakeholders are individuals or groups that have an interest or concern in a business. They can affect or be affected by the organization's actions, objectives, and policies.
Now, why do stakeholders matter? Well, they play a crucial role in a business’s success. By understanding their needs and expectations, a business can make better decisions that benefit both the company and its stakeholders.
Let’s dive deeper into the different types of stakeholders we’ll be discussing today."
"Please turn your attention to the screen as I present some information on the different types of stakeholders.
Stakeholders can be broadly categorized into two types: internal and external stakeholders.
I'm going to show you some examples of each type. Consider how different types of stakeholders influence a business. Let’s discuss this further."
"Now it’s time for an activity! I will hand out cards to each of you. Your task is to fill out these cards with information about various stakeholders.
Think about:
This will help you to better understand the different kinds of stakeholders we’ve just discussed. I will give you about 10 minutes to complete this activity. Please make sure to be as detailed as possible, as this will help with our next discussion."
"Alright, everyone! Now that you have completed your cards, I’d like you to pair up with a partner next to you.
Spend the next three minutes discussing the information you filled out. Share your thoughts on who the stakeholders are for the businesses you considered and discuss their roles.
This is a great opportunity to learn from one another and consider different perspectives. Ready? Go!"
"Thank you for those engaging discussions! Now, I would like to collect the cards.
I will take a moment to randomly check some of the cards to assess your understanding of the stakeholder roles without requiring presentations. Please pass your cards forward now.
I appreciate your participation today! Your insights into the roles of stakeholders are essential for understanding their impact on business success."
"Before we wrap up, remember that understanding stakeholders is a key part of business studies. For your homework, I’d like you to choose one specific stakeholder and write a short essay of about 300 words on how they influence a business.
Please bring your essays to our next lesson as we will be discussing them then. Thank you all for your hard work today, and I look forward to our next session!"
