Assignment task:
If you were to use an instrumental approach to stakeholder claims, what would be your most likely rationale for this method? Connecting stakeholder management and financial outcomes contributes to a positive bottom line. Customers are stakeholders, and therefore should be weighed higher than other stakeholders. Stakeholders are ends in themselves and should be considered even if they don't further the interests of shareholders or the bottom line. Weighing and balancing each stakeholder interest is the best way to manage stakeholder interests.
