　　a. Narrow (most affected): managers, employees, supplies, dependent customers, shareholders

　　b. Wide (less affected): government, wide community, less dependent customers

　　<3>Primary and secondary stakeholders (level of participation will affect the company’s continuing as a going concern or not, how much the stakeholder affected the organization)

　　3.3 Stakeholder theory

　　<1>Content of stakeholder theory

　　a. Stakeholders’ contribution and requirement: stakeholders contribute for company’s development and expect the company to satisfy their interest.

　　b. Different goals and claims of stakeholder: each stakeholder group has different goals and expectations, so they have different claim upon the organization.

　　c. Company’s corporate responsibility: companies should take corporate accountability to not only shareholder but also a broad range of stakeholder.

　　<2>Stakeholders’ claim

　　a. Definition: what does stakeholder want from an organization?

　　b. The legitimacy of each stakeholder’s claim will depend on your ethical and political perspective on whether certain groups should be considered as stakeholders.

　　<3>Different views of organizations’ reaction to stakeholder concerns

　　<1>Power/Interest matrix

　　a. The framework is often used to understand the influence that each stakeholder has over an organization’s objectives and strategy.

　　b. It estimates which stakeholders have the most influence by evaluating each stakeholder’s individual power and interest to the organization’s affairs. The stakeholders with the highest combination of power and interest are likely to be those with the most actual influence over objectives.

　　c. It describes the political context within which an individual strategy would be pursued by classifying stakeholders in two dimensions:

　　(b) The extent to which they are likely to show interest in supporting or opposing a particular strategy

　　<2>The matrix indicates the type of relationship which organizations typically might establish with stakeholder groups in the different quadrants

　　<3>Two steps in completing the matrix:

　　<5>Scholes (1998) suggests the following strategies to deal with each quadrant:

　　a. Segment A – Direction

　　(a) Lack of interest and power

　　(b) Open to influence

　　b. Segment B – Education / Communication

　　(a) For supportive stakeholders: may lobby others to support the strategy

　　(b) For dissenters: stop them joining forces with more powerful dissenters in C or D

　　(b) Reassuring them of the likely outcomes of the strategy well in advance

　　d. Segment D – Participation

　　(b) Firstly education / communication , then discuss the implementation issues

　　3.7 Compare stakeholder theory with agency theory and company law

　　<1>Agency theory: Agent (manager) and principal (shareholders); Make as much money as possible, in the interest of the owners.

　　<2>Company law: managers have fiduciary and legal obligations to maximize shareholder wealth.

　　<3>Stakeholder theory: Managers as agents to all other stakeholders, try to reconcile their interests; emphasis on the ethical and social responsibility.

　　4 Major issues in corporate governance

　　<1>Duty of directors: fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the company, use their power properly, avoid conflict of interest and exercise a duty of care

　　<2>Composition and balance of the board: balance in member (director and NEDs), skills and talents (specialist), level and age (help succession planning)

　　<3>Reliability of financial reporting and external auditors: together with external auditors, greater regulation of practices led to greater transparency and reduces the risk of investors

　　<4>Directors’ remuneration and rewards: corporate governance codes avoid directors being paid excessive salaries and bonuses

　　<5>Responsibility of the board for risk management and internal control system: set up adequate system for measurement and reporting of risk

　　<6>Right and responsibility of shareholder: shareholders should have the right to receive all material information which may affect the value of their investment and to vote on measures affecting the organization’s governance

　　<7>Corporate social responsibility and business ethics: mutual benefit relationship between company and shareholder create sustained business success and steady long-term growth in corporate value

　　<8>Public and non-governmental corporate governance: governance and non-governance bodies should also apply corporate governance (integrity, supervise, ensure appropriate control and risk management and reporting system)

acca考试怎么搭配科目？: 建议优先选择相关联的科目进行搭配报考，这样可以提高备考效率，减轻备考压力，1、F1-F4：为随时机考科目，难度较低，这里可以自行随意选择考试顺序。2、F5-F9：如果你的工作的和财务会计或者审计有关、或者你比较擅长财务和审计的话，推荐先考F7和F8。你可以选择一起考ACCA考试科目F7和F8或者先考F7（8）再考F8（7），这就要取决你一次想考几门。3、P阶段：选修科目中，建议企业首选AFM！第二部分科目进行选择，如果AA和SBR掌握学生更好，可以通过选择AAA，如果SBL掌握的好，可以自己选择APM。
