Implementation is increasingly regarded as a central issue in strategic management. At the very core of managing strategic change is the issue of dealing with stakeholders both prior to, and during implementation. Managing internal stakeholders can be done not merely intuitively and informally but by explicit stakeholder positioning. This stakeholder analysis invites managers working out together, influencing strategies and surfacing obvious and less obvious stakeholder agendas. Besides offering obvious, practical applications, stakeholder analysis offers considerable potential as a management research tool, particularly in investigating how the strategic behaviour of individuals and teams is driven. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
