Managing Stakeholders!

The shareholder's theory stipulates that agents of a company (managers) should only aim at increasing shareholder's wealth. However, the stakeholder's theory came around and challenged the shareholder's theory. This theory states that the needs of all stakeholders must be taken into consideration. Stakeholders include the shareholders, managers, employees, creditors, government and the community at large. There are times when the need of one stakeholder might conflict with the need of another stakeholder.

Mendelow theory has dealt with such challenges. The theory suggests that stakeholders should be classified into four groups and this should be based on their power and interest in the company. Stakeholders with high interest and high power must be treated carefully, the stakeholders with little power but high interest in the company should be kept informed because they have the ability to influence more powerful groups. The group that has high power but are not really interested in the company should be kept satisfied. For those with little power and little interest in the company they require minimal efforts.

Your business should be good for you and others. Make sure your business is halal. Allah is the greatest. Everything happens according to the will of Allah. Everything should be done deliberately for the sake of Allah. Part of doing something deliberately for the sake of Allah means hoping for a reward from Him (in this life and the life after death).

Halal means anything lawful Islamically.

Yet, he allowed women to be entering the part where men enter, seeing women and men walking and passing through the same door. Women praying downstairs with no division between men and women. When I asked him about it, he said it is allowed. How is that allowed. Islam does not encourage the mixing of different sexes. Where ablution is done in the female part is sometimes dirty, when you are suppose to do ablution in a clean place.The toilets there were dirty and they face the qibla. Toilets are not meant to face the qibla according to Islamic law. There is one toilet there that did not face the qibla. A pit latrine, which i find odd why would there be regular toilets and one pit latri...

The world of competence

Hello readers. Today, I will be writing about competence. Competence is the ability that enables a company or an individual to deploy its resources effectively. It is neccessary for a company to have a competence target in all its business activities so as to deliver value to its customers. This will help create a competitive advantage for the company. Competencies must provide value to customers. It must be unique or able to develop greatly or be better than that of competitors. New products and services must be able to be developed as a result of the competence. It must be difficult for other competitors to obtain or imitate. Continually producing high quality products can make a company become a market leader (which is a core competence) as it provides a company with a competitive advantage. With high quality, higher prices can be demanded by the company from customers and the company will also be able to gain the loyalty of the customer. Innovative products whe...
