• InFocus suppliers are a hold stakeholder: they pose low cooperative potential and low competitive threat.

 

• The key strategies available for managing hold stakeholders are:

 

– Monitor existing programs

 

– Reinforce current beliefs about the organisation

 

– Guard against changes in the transaction process

This could include implementing supplier relationship management initiatives to facilitate two-way communication and assure them that InFocus will resolve the incident efficiently and effectively.
