Research actionsGood Practices Stakeholder View - How and why do firms adopt a broad stakeholder orientation? A long-term research programme on implementation of the Strategic View as a strategic management approach. The research group analyzed examples of good practices in six companies from the Swiss Telecommunication (Orange, Sunrise and Swisscom) and Financial Services Industry (Suva, Swiss Re and Zürcher Kantonalbank). ICT-based Stakeholder Management - How can firms identify strategically relevant stakeholders and systematically involve them in The project aims at identifying strategically relevant stakeholders and at systematically involving them into corporate activities. The Evaluation and Effect Measurement of Stakeholder-Engagement Nowadays, many organisations conduct stakeholder-dialogues on most diverse subjects. In doing so, a systematic evaluation of these engagements and an answer to the question - which are the benefits of these dialogues for the organisation as well as the involved stakeholders - remain absent. This is exactly what the project, by Prof. Dr. Sybille Sachs (HWZ), Prof. Dr. Ruth Schmitt (FHNW) and their teams, assesses.
