A business stakeholder is a person or entity with an interest in the economic performance and well-being of a company. For example, owners, suppliers, customers and employees are all stakeholders in a company.

Name a business in which you are a stakeholder and describe what type of stakeholder you are.

For instance, I am a stakeholder in MCCC. I am an internal stakeholder because I am an employee of the college. I have a stake in the financial health of MCCC because I want to continue being paid. I am also a service market stakeholder in American Airlines as I am a frequent flyer customer. I have a stake in their financial health because I want to be able to use the points I have accumulated.
