Stakeholders are individuals, groups, or organizations who have an interest or concern in a project, organization, or business. They can be affected by the decisions made and actions taken by the entity in question. Identifying and understanding stakeholders is crucial for effective planning, management, and decision-making.

Stakeholders can be categorized in various ways. Internal stakeholders typically include employees, managers, and owners who are directly involved in the operations of the organization. External stakeholders encompass a broader range of parties such as customers, suppliers, creditors, the community, government agencies, and even competitors. Their level of influence and interest can vary significantly.

Managing stakeholder relationships involves communication, engagement, and addressing their needs and concerns. A successful project or organization often depends on the ability to build and maintain positive relationships with its diverse stakeholder base. Failing to consider or engage with key stakeholders can lead to resistance, delays, reputational damage, or project failure. Therefore, a proactive approach to stakeholder management is essential.
