Recommendations: Recommendations for policy and standards 105<br />

In the example, we have 2 managers (M1 and M2) and 2 stakeholders (S1 and S2) interviewed for the<br />

same company (X). They list either 4 or 5 stakeholder types (in the columns). The ranking order,<br />

either implicit in the sequence of response (gap 1) or explicit in response to the ranking questions<br />

(gap 2 and 3) is also different among managers, among stakeholder and, more importantly for our<br />

purposes, between managers and stakeholders.<br />

In the example, clients and employees are the top ranked stakeholder types mentioned by both<br />

managers and stakeholders. If we look at the gap we see that the perception of the first three<br />

stakeholders is very similar between managers and stakeholders (0,10) while for the last two<br />

(suppliers and communities) the gap is quite high (0,20, 0,30). The overall gap (0,16 or 16%) is not so<br />

high, compared to what it could be, because the perception of the majority of stakeholder types (3 on<br />

a range of 5) are not so different between managers and stakeholders.<br />
