[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5182867, member: 24302"] A shareholder owns a percentage of a company. How big a percentage depends on the number of shares of stock in that company he owns. A stakeholder is someone who works for a company. Who's livelihood and future depends on how well that company does as long as he continues to work for them. Shareholders seek profits in the form of quarterly dividends as well as growth in the value of their shares. The company has a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to seek profits and growth for them. Stakeholders have no such guarantees and their value in helping their company achieve profits and growth usually determines their income as well as job security. It's a dog eat dog system but it does insure that companies thrive if well managed. That they provide the goods and services consumers want and need. If they don't they fail and shareholders lose their investment and stakeholders lose their livelihoods. [/QUOTE]
