The Stakeholder Balance Sheet: Profiting from Really Understanding Your Market |
In a nutshell, a genuine understanding of how customers and other stakeholders think, feel and behave offers the essential starting point for any general manager – not just the marketing or sales specialist – seeking to determine the direction of his organisation.
For the purpose of the book, stakeholders are described as: the direct stakeholders in the market place – customers and prospects (including both the key contacts with whom you interface and others who may influence the final decisions made); the internal stakeholders – staff; other external stakeholders – pressure groups, local community, government, intermediaries, banks, etc
"My 40 years of international business experience would completely endorse this total focus on the stakeholder balance sheet."
Sir Peter Bonfield CBE FREng, Chairman of NXP Supervisory Board and formerly CEO of BT Group plc and ICL plc
"The Stakeholder Balance Sheet is an excellent and highly practical framework...This book is a must–read for decision makers in any organization, regardless of level or function."
Professor Sharan Jagpal, Professor of Marketing, Rutgers Business School & author of Fusion for Profit
