Abstract

Abstract: Studies mutually disagree on which stakeholders matter to the managers. Based on a finer differentiation of salience attributes—power, legitimacy, urgency, and proximity—this study finds that stakeholders that possess four attributes' types—that is, structural legitimacy, utilitarian power, organized proximity, and criticality—are considered salient by managers of microfinance organizations. Collaboration with salient stakeholders is considered indispensable by microfinance managers.
