stakeholderbezogene

Stakeholderbezogene is a German adjective used to describe approaches, analyses, or processes that take the interests or needs of stakeholders into account in addition to economic objectives. The term is commonly used in business administration, corporate governance, CSR, and public policy to signal a broader orientation than a sole focus on shareholders.

In practice, stakeholderbezogene practices include stakeholder identification and mapping, engagement and dialogue strategies, impact assessments, and reporting that reflects stakeholder concerns. Expressions such as stakeholderbezogene Analyse, stakeholderbezogene Kommunikation, or stakeholderbezogene Risikoanalyse are used to specify the type of activity that centers on affected groups or entities, including customers, employees, suppliers, communities, regulators, and the environment.

Relation to theory: The concept aligns with the stakeholder theory, which argues that organizations create value for multiple constituencies. This contrasts with shareholder primacy, which prioritizes shareholder value above other interests.

Limitations and challenges: Integrating diverse interests can be complex and may require governance structures, measurement frameworks (e.g., ESG metrics), and transparent reporting. The term also overlaps with related concepts such as stakeholder management, stakeholder engagement, and sustainability management.
