Abstract/OtherAbstract:
If physician executives are to cope with the environmental turbulence and uncertainty facing their organizations, they must effectively manage their "stakeholders." The stakeholder approach helps integrate managerial concerns that are frequently treated separately, such as strategic management, marketing, human resource management, "organizational politics," and social responsibility. The stakeholder perspective enables medical managers to relate important issues to the development of strategies for handling potentially conflicting demands for effectiveness and efficiency from various stakeholders. Medical managers should minimally satisfy the needs of marginal stakeholders while they maximally satisfy the needs of key stakeholders. To identify key stakeholders, a physician executive should critically assess each stakeholder's potential to threaten the organization and its potential to cooperate. This assessment should account for such factors as the stakeholder's relative power, the specific context and history of the organization's relations with it, the specific issues under consideration, and other key stakeholders influencing the organization.
