Tromaras, A: A Stakeholder Framework For Environmental Manag

The book suggests that stakeholder dialogue can be used in environmental management within the aerospace industry. It outlines the history of environmentalism, the rising concern regarding environmental management and the resultant pressure on companies to become greener. Stakeholder theory and dialogue are identified as a mechanism to create a framework that could be utilised by companies to identify their stakeholders. The research proposes a weighted stakeholder framework of who the most important stakeholders are and identifies whether they can be influenced. The proposed stakeholder framework was developed based on Soft Systems Methodology, environmental survey data from the Society of British Aerospace Companies and interviews with aerospace companies. The framework acts as an indicator that enables managers to identify their stakeholders and their significance, taking a back to basics stakeholder theory approach. This concept suggests that talking to stakeholders could be useful in helping companies to deal with environmental issues. A book for people researching stakeholder theory & dialogue, the idea of "who really counts" and managers in the aerospace industry.
