The internal stakeholders of UNICEF would have included: Staff members - as well as its staff in different country posts around the world and at all levels, its member countries' representatives. The staff member’s main interest in the business is to allow UNICEF to provide a very high level service to its customers. The staff members can support the business as it is there decisions that affect the outcome of the business. They are the vital to the service and level of those services that UNICEF provides. Volunteers - these are the people who go out and provide the support, they are very important as they don’t work for money, so this helps the financial side of UNICEF. The volunteers also can have a key important influence into the final outcome of UNICEF as they are the ones that are physically providing the service. Donators -the people who donate money to the organization are also internal stakeholders; they are essential for a charity business such as UNICEF to function and provide the support.

These will receive more attention because they are the most important stakeholders. Without the donations UNICEF would struggle to provide the children with any sort of support as they would be unable to fund it, or they would have to change the whole dynamics of the origination to still be able to provide support if they didn’t receive the fanatical donations. And the children that they provide and offer support to also receive a lot of attention. This is because without these children UNICEF would not be providing any sort of service. There organisation is based around the fact that there are children who need help and support so they are essential to the functioning of it as a business.
Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross after becoming involved in the work of the International Red Cross during the Franco-Prussian War. Her heart of giving and helping others convinced her that an American chapter was needed in her country in 1881. The ARC is a humanitarian organization that is dependent on the contributions of time, blood, and money from the American public to support its multiple lifesaving services and programs. The ARC’s mission is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. The ARC from its humble beginnings and up to recently has provided great support the American public and military during times of need. However, recently the organization has drifted from is stakeholders and gone through difficult challenges. Instead of the focus being on the disaster victims, the American public and government has been on the mismanagement of the organization. The media and general public have been critical of their slow response to disasters, their inability to wisely manage donated funds and blood, its poor planning and communications with disaster victims and other agencies during relief efforts. This paper is based on the case study of the American Red Cross and will discuss the impact of the events from the case study on ARC’s “benefits of business ethics”, discuss the role that ARC’s stakeholder orientation played in this scenario, discuss the ways in which ARC’s corporate governance failed to provide formalized responsibility to their stakeholders, and recommend steps that ARC could follow to improve their stakeholders perspective.

“Service to a just cause rewards the worker with more real happiness and satisfaction than any other venture of life” (Carrie Chapman Catt). UNICEF directs its assistance in various developing countries on several different issues. This organization has the ability to capture the attention of many through various different advertisements such as the staircase ads in China. The powerful messages UNICEF displays throughout humanity allows several individuals to be aware of the occurring situations around the world. This causes them to effectively create a movement to arise causing many to take action and aid the unfortunate. The issue of children with disabilities living inequality is one that is often forgotten. I believe that being part of UNICEF would allow me the opportunity to help bring awareness and improve the care and services in several countries for those who are living with disabilities so that they are all living in equality.
UNICEF is an organization created by the United Nations General Assembly in 1946 to “advocate for the protection of children 's rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential (UNICEF 's Mission Statement
The reason is they are impacting globally. I will not deny that coming from a third world country which is the Philippines, has an impact on my decision to pick an international nonprofit organization. Sure enough, my country has benefited from these type of organizations. Save the Children is impacting not just in a small scale, they are making a difference to the world. Moreover, this organization was ranked 26th and rated 4 star among top 100 nonprofit organizations around the world. That alone did not convince me, I dug
Hence, the stakeholders which are described as those who are affected by the organisation performance ,actions and duties and those actions includes employees, clients, local community and investors as well. The theory of stakeholders also suggests that it is the responsibility of firm to make sure no rights of stakeholders are dishonoured and make decisions in the interest of stakeholders which is also the purpose of stakeholder theory to make more profit and balancing it while considering its stakeholders (Freeman 2008 pp. 162-165). In the other words organisation must also operates in a more socially accountable approach by carrying out corporate social responsibility as (CSR) activities.
UNICEF, United Nations Children’s Fund, is a nonprofit organization, founded by the United Nations General Assembly in 1946 in New York. Initially, UNICEF was created to provide temporary emergency help like medications, nutrition and clothes to children in the destroyed after World War 2 countries. In 1953 UNICEF became a permanent organization which has been supported by voluntary contributions and donations. Today UNICEF operates in 190 countries all over the world, saving and improving children’s lives and protecting their rights. It also provides healthcare, immunizations, food, education and emergency relief. “The number of children dying every day from all preventable causes has declined to about 19,000, down from 33,000 in 1991. At the U.S. Fund for UNICEF we won’t stop at “fewe...
...ld Health Organization (WHO) report shows that, most people living with HIV or at risk for HIV do not have access to treatment, care and prevention and there is still no cure. In spite of these challenges, there have been successes. Global efforts have been made to address the epidemic, specifically in the last decade. The HIV prevalence rates have been reduced in a small but growing number of countries due to prevention and new HIV infections are believed to be on the decline. In addition to this, the number of people with HIV receiving treatment in resource poor countries has increased 10 times since 2002, nearing an estimated 4 million by 2008.
Individuals have their own personalities that can influence their enthusiasm and productivity within an organization. In addition, individuals also form groups and are part of teams that work together to reach a common goal within organization. According to Gibson, Ivancevich, Donnelly, and Konopaske (2009) dedicated and cohesive teams can have a tremendous impact on organizations effectiveness and the global market. However, all of this happens within the frame-work of office politics and can hinder or enhance the organization’s effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to not only understand individuals, but also groups, teams and office politics within the organization. This will help leaders to plan, organize and motive individuals and groups for the best possible outcome for the organization.
Stakeholders are those groups or individual in society that have a direct interest in the performance and activities of business. The main stakeholders are employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers, financiers and the local community. Stakeholders may not hold any formal authority over the organization, but theorists such as Professor Charles Handy believe that a firm’s best long-term interests are served by paying close attention to the needs of each of these stakeholders. The modern view is that a firm has responsibilities to all its stakeholders i.e. everyone with a legitimate interest in the company. These include shareholders, competitors, government, employees, directors, distributors, customers, sub-contractors, pressure groups and local community. Although a company’s directors owes a legal duty to the shareholders, they also have moral responsibilities to other stakeholder group’s objectives in their entirely. As a firm can’t meet all stakeholders’ objectives in their entirety, they have to compromise. A company should try to serve the needs of these groups or individuals, but whilst some needs are common, other needs conflict. By the development of this second runway, the public and stakeholders are affected in one or other way and it can be positive and negative.
Stakeholders are interest of an individual or groups that directly or indirectly affected by the organisation’s activities, policies and objectives (Henry Frechette, 2010). Stakeholders can be divided as internal (managers and employees) and external (shareholders, customers, and suppliers) (BPP F9). Different stakeholders may have common interests or conflict interests with company. Company board members or management must take care about stakeholders’ interest. They can’t make the decision based on their own interest or their relation with others organisation. Conflict of interest will arise when interests of organisation act in concert with managers’ personal interests or interests of another person or organisations, (Anon, no date).
(United Nations Children's Fund [UNICF], n.d.)The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is a leading advocate for women and children rights. Founded in 1946 and active in 157 countries and territories around the world. The UNICEF has committed it resources to achieve results for children in five major areas:
A very common way of differentiate the various kinds of stakeholders is by identifying groups of people who have direct or indirect relationships with the organization. Friedman (2006) mentioned that there is a clear relationship between definitions of what stakeholders and identification of who are the stakeholders for organizations. The examples of main stakeholders in organization are Customers, Employees, Local communities, Suppliers and distributors, Shareholders. Other than those main stakeholders, the groups and individual like the media, public in general, Business partners, Future generations, NGOs or activists, competitors, government, policy maker and regulators are also considered as stakeholder.
The emergence of HIV/AIDS is viewed globally as one of the most serious health and developmental challenges our society faces today. Being a lentivirus, HIV slowly replicates over time, attacking and wearing down the human immune system subsequently leading to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) at which point the affected individual is exposed to life threatening illnesses and eventual death. Despite the fact that a few instances of this disease have been accounted for in all parts of the world, a high rate of the aforementioned living with HIV are situated in either low or medium wage procuring nations. The Sub-Saharan region Africa is recognized as the geographic region most afflicted by the pandemic. In previous years, people living with HIV or at risk of getting infected did not have enough access to prevention, care and treatment neither were they properly sensitized about the disease. These days, awareness and accessibility to all the mentioned (preventive methods, care etc.) has risen dramatically due to several global responses to the epidemic. An estimated half of newly infected people are among those under age 25(The Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic). It hits hard as it has no visible symptoms and can go a long time without being diagnosed until one is tested or before it is too late to manage.
