Differentiate between the Stakeholders who will be classified as internal and external • An internal stakeholder is someone who has an interest and an influence in the business. These kind of stakeholders are within the business such as an employee or an owner. These kind of stakeholders have a common goal- for the business to succeed. What differentiates them is their reason. For example a customer will want the cheapest price for their product and if your price is expensive they could look at competition for their purchase • An external stakeholder is someone who has an interest and influence in the business only they are outside the business. This could be an employee or a supplier. These kind of stakeholders have their own agenda that will influence the businesses success such as a pressure group for plastic pollution may try to persuade a business to use less plastic. For example Mc. Donalds has stopped using plastics straws as they end up in the ocean. • There are some stakeholders that are both external and internal such as franchisees and stakeholders as they are both within the business but also outside the business
