No Man Is An Island
Which probably explains why organisations increasingly develop
a strategic interest in taking the interests of their multiple
stakeholders into account in operational decision-making. But which
are the stakeholders in the environment of an organisation? And how is
the organisation to interact with its external stakeholders to ensure its
survival?
I have been studying these and related questions in theory and
practice for most of my life, focusing on the international activities of
public and private sector organisations with an operational representation
in English, French, or German speaking national cultures.
In the course, I have developed an eye and a hand in, what I would
term, 'Stakeholder Co-Operation Analysis', enabling me to identify, analyse,
and evaluate areas of interest common to such organisations and their
external stakeholders. |
|
The main purpose of International Stakeholder Co-Operation Analysis,
as I understand it, is to create the organisational capacity to develop
and sustain a mutual understanding between the organisation in question
and its external stakeholders in an international environment, ultimately
with a view to developing a common cause of mutual benefit.
The inter-disciplinary and inter-professional backbone of my actual output
and potential input in the theory and practice of International Stakeholder
Co-Operation Analysis is the multi-functional combination of academic and
professional qualifications and experience that I have been able to
acquire since early childhood mainly in English, French, and German speaking
national and organisational cultures in the following specialist areas: |
