Conclusion
• Direction priorities will be influenced by key stakeholders • May vary depending on size and complexity of
organisations• Small lifestyle businesses may not seek growth• Large complex organisations must be accountable to
external owners/shareholders• Corporate social responsibility may be a factor in
shaping direction• Managerialism which focuses on return on capital
employed/ investment dominates, it is a legal obligation to meet needs of shareholders
