As a consultant of Extrude-Ride, I have noticed our company’s profitability is progressively more going downward. After having carried-out an analysis, I have noticed the key problem resides on the low-value perceived by our patrons as well as the difficulties the company has known in developing strong and long term relationships with external stakeholders suchlike suppliers and distributors. In other words, I believe that the problem resides in the lack of quality management. In this pursuit, how will I counsel the group to come within reach of a true definition of quality?
The best way for me to approach the development of a definition of quality will consist of referring our company’s mission statement. Indeed, our company exists because

More to the point, I will address a range of stakeholders’ concerns, since the quality definition of Evans helps us identify both internal and external stakeholders.
The key external stakeholders involve a group of person who has an interest in the activities and affairs of a company (Rockart, & Short, 1989, p 8). Surely, internal stakeholders craft the value from all departments of the organization. In addition, the notion of quality as Evans supports it helps us identify other stakeholders within the value chain like the suppliers and the distributors (2014, p 9). In other word, the supply chain stands for the sequence of activities that supplies products or services to the organization. Besides, the sphere of influence is the range of political, contractual, economic or other relationships through which an organization has the ability to affect the decisions or activities of individuals or organizations (Rockart, & Short, 1989, pp 9-10).
In this task I will be describing eight different stakeholders which are; customers, employees, suppliers, owners, trade unions, employer associations, local and national communities and the government. I will be stating what they are, who they are, why they useful, how they influence stake holders on organisation and why they are useful to business I have chosen which is Tesco and The British Heart Foundation.
Although they have external stakeholders in their business the must have internal stakeholders for them
Stakeholders are those individuals who may be affected or have an effect in an organizations depending on the decisions that may have been made. One of the most important reason for identifying and understanding shareholders is that it allows the organization to recruit them as part of the effort in anything there are involved in. participatory effort and representation of as many stakeholders as possible ranging from internal to external has possible advantage. Internal stakeholder is a groups within an organization who work directly within the organization, such as employees, owners, and investors. In the other case external stakeholders
Stakeholders have a significant influence on the aims of an organisation. They are the people who are affected by or interested in the business. In some organisations the shareholders are stakeholders, and at times have some of the decision power. In trade organisations, customers are also considered stakeholders; therefore their needs are part of the organisation’s overall objectives.
In this assignment, I will be talking about what stakeholders mean and the different components of the key stakeholders based on two organisations: Debenhams and Water Aid. A stakeholder is when a person shows a keen interest in the activities of a business, directly or indirectly.
This week’s assignment is about evaluating the quality issues of three organizations. The three sectors I chose to evaluate are manufacturing, service and government. I will then discuss the importance of quality to each organization, the relationship of quality to customers, the leadership commitment to quality and the alignment of quality to the organization’s strategic goals and objectives.
I am going to evaluate how important it is for stakeholders to exert on an organisation. This is stakeholders such as employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers, owners and the government. I will also state if the influences have positive/negative effects on the long term success of the organisation.
We had a mission statement that said “Make the best quality product.” That was our mission statement. We need to be convinced that it is the right th9ing to do. That is what I was doing with this “philosophy class”. I am from South America and the country where a Patagonia is. I think when an any company had this mission is very close at success. Because when the process is more important to the end, the quality of the process gives a great end. However, when for you the end is more important to the process you can make a bad quality product for to get better revenue in your company. So for my and (COVEY) the quality into your activity and behavior is on everything in the life if you are businessperson, coach, teacher, and leader. “The end
Internal Stakeholders are board members, staff, and volunteers. External stakeholders are individuals such as clients, and partners in the community. The University lost their top officials, which had an impact on them financially.
All stakeholders expect that the firm will satisfy their particular demands. Pearce, documented in Hill & Jones (1992) has noted:
“Stakeholders (or interest groups) are tangible, visible and approachable groups or institutions which have a direct influence on the functioning of an organisation.”
Merriam Webster defines quality as a degree of excellence, or a distinguishing attribute. Managers strive for excellence in the workplace to improve customer satisfaction, increase the output in manufacturing while minimizing defects, as well as making the company more profitable. There are several different management systems or methodologies available for businesses to use, but the Balanced Scorecard and the Malcolm Baldrige Performance Excellence Program is the most common and widely used in the United States.
Stakeholders are people or groups with interest in an organization that can affect or be affected by the organization itself, its objectives, or its policies (BusinessDictionary, 2015). Each stakeholder brings their own perspective to the table based on their relationship with the organization (e.g. internal or external role), their level of experience, and their area of expertise about the subject matter they are involved with. At a high level, the list of stakeholders for any organization could include people or groups such as: customers, employees, government agencies, suppliers, unions, community resources, shareholders, and business owners. For the purpose of this assignment, I will discuss and review stakeholders relative to the
The President Ralph Larsen has realized that Wengart has some major problems with the quality however he is focusing on the profitability instead of the longevity of the company. He needs to have the team focus on improving the quality problem or the company’s profits will continue to decrease. Larsen in the effort to improve the quality has decided to seek out help from an OD practitioner who suggests to Ralph to implement Top Quality Management (TQM). Larsen feels that this should be easy to implement and hands it off to Kent Kelly the Vice President. He feels that the TQM program was a matter of common sense (Brown, 2011, p. 365).
Deming, Juran, and Crosby all define quality in different ways. Deming defines quality as a continuous improvement and the ultimate goal is zero defects; however, he realizes an error free product may not be economically feasible or practical (Kerzner, 2009, p. 880). Deming also states a product or service is defined by the customer and quality is a relative term and will change based on the customer’s needs (Suarez, 1992, p.3)
