Chapter Chapter 2 in Stakeholder Entrepreneurship, 2022, pp 7-18 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Stakeholder theory is one of the most popular theories in the management field to understand the influence of others on an organisation’s strategy. For this reason, it is important to link the concept to new fields in order to develop thinking around what it is and why it matters in society. This chapter moves the field of stakeholder theory forward by linking it more specifically to entrepreneurship. As a result, a theory of stakeholder entrepreneurship is presented in the hope that it will provide a better way to understand entrepreneurial behaviour. Whilst stakeholder theory still applies to entrepreneurship having a more defined theory premised on entrepreneurship helps to capture in more depth the intricacy and complexity of stakeholder engagement.
