Management of Shareholder Expectations
Speaking of an organization and its running or functioning, shareholders are very important in it. Before going on to depth of explanation of defining what are the duties, effects of shareholders on any organization, what an organization can get from shareholders, we need to define the term shareholder. Shareholder could be a single person, a group containing few people or even an organization having huge list of people working in it that apply either a direct or an indirect stake or effect in an organization’s operations and functions but at the same time, an organization’s policies, procedures, actions and objectives can easily effect this shareholder.

For example, any shareholder’s major duty is to increase his/her investment stake within the organization so that its level of wealth could go rise and with such rise, it would be quite clear for an organization to return good amount of investment to a shareholder, as well. But even an organization start to think about increasing return on investment by making short time span decisions, this step can easily affect either customers or even employees. It’s another case when an organization is such capable of performing or keeping up a strategic competition with other competitors, it can easily satisfy every single need of a shareholder but for those organizations who are suffering and their earning is below the rate of return, they should try out some other plans in order to create balance within the team or an organization. There is another state where there is an average rate of return. In this state, mainly organizations suffer to satisfy each and every shareholder for his/her needs or demands. Below than average is quite a crucial and critical time or state for any organization because at this stage, any shareholder can either stop his/her investment within an organization or either fully rejects the proposal for following any particular organization or business. An example could be seen whenever an organization reduces investment on research or development of expenditures, this clearly give them a good chance to increase the short term profits or benefits to the shareholder acting as a dividends. On the other hand, this decrease of investment on research and development of expenditure could decline the rate of success of long term plans that could affect any organization’s performance in today’s competitive world.

Speaker The speaker is Annie Dillard, who is also the author of the book. In Holy the Firm, the author expresses her thoughts in regard to questions such as the reason that humans are created by God; the meaning and essence of God’s work; and the relationship between the believers and God. Dillard encounters great conflicts in her belief in God when she saw that a girl in her neighbour’s farm was burned by a plane crash. She starts to question whether every act of God has any real meaning in it and if it does, why would God let a innocent girl be burned by excruciating fire at such a young age when she has done nothing wrong. She even wonders if God is just a powerless creator who has no power to save those who suffer from atrocities.
At Lockheed Martin, shareholders represent a significant portion of this demographic. They are anyone who owns Lockheed’s stock and is impacted by its performance; positively when the stock rises and negatively in times of poor performance. Lockheed is concerned about its shareholders because they are entitled to earning profits from its stock as investors and owners of the company. If shareholders become dissatisfied they can change how the company is run; for example, they can replace the existing board of directors through a voting process. Consequently, Lockheed Martin’s decisions are focused on generating profit for their shareholders to increase stock valuation.

Furthermore, in the last decade, an increasing number of major shareholders attempt to influence corporate behaviour by using their equity stakes in organisation to pressure the management for improved performance and increase the value of their investments. However, shareholder activism is believed to be very controversial. Some proponents of shareholder activism believe that the involvement of shareholders in the management of the company ensures that the invested capital is spend properly and that the directors do grant themselves excessive remuneration packages and focus mainly on maximisation of shareholder value. Opponents, on the other hand, often criticise a high degree of shareholder activism as they considered that active investors are mainly focused on their own short-term benefits and profits and not on the long term aims and goals of organisations (Corkery,
