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.

The saverholic only saves and saves and saves and cannot afford to take well calculated risks. Because, all you do is to save money. Invest in other markets, the higher the risk the higher the return, diversify your investment portfolio. All individuals that have achieved financial growth of great heights are risk takers, and they know that some risk might turn out negative but they know is all part of the process. They learn from it and apply it to the next risk they take and eventually they become experts at the risk they take (risk taken should not be excessive(too much uncertainty)). Then they end up having 80% success rates which I think is good enough. Make sure your business is halal. Give charity regularly from your income, Allah loves charity an...

The need for constant power supply in developing nations

Hello readers, I will be writing about electricity today. I will be using Nigeria as a case study. Electricity is one of the factors that contributes to the success of an organisation. Developed countries have been able to maintain a constant power supply. If they are able to have constant power then it is achievable. Constant electricity could attract good companies, thereby creating employment opportunities. This could alievate poverty in the developing countries. Thus, the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the economy will improve. The challenge here with having constant power supply is also not to pollute the environment as fossil fuel is mostly used for the supply of electricity. Greener alternatives could be used such as tidal energy and wind energy. In my opinion, electricity could be constant in Nigeria if the industry is privatised. The privitisation of the telephone industry made mobile phone easily accessible by individuals. Most people own a phone, both ...
