In the last few decades, an important theme in organizational theory has been the increased organizational vulnerability as they operate in an intrusive environment. No matter how theorists and scholars try to solve the issue of environmental interference, there is unanimity in the belief that organizations are now influenced by an increasing number of entities, and therefore, firms need to accommodate specific demands of these several groups. This extra burden on the resources of individual organizations, in an ever-changing environment, necessitates the need for these firms to have coalitions in order to survive, and the need to engage in multifaceted and intricate 'transactions' within their environment. The overall argument of the study is that business organizations need to have a proactive stakeholder orientation to create structures and mechanisms that will lead to consensus building and mutual benefits for organizations and their stakeholders. The study also explores four research questions: Who are proactive stakeholder organizations? What are the dynamics of stakeholder management? How are stakeholder organizations created and perpetuated? And what are the strategic benefits of stakeholder management? The study is a qualitative inductive study that utilizes the precepts and techniques of grounded theory development and case study methodologies. The data in the study is based on 52 in-depth interviews, observations and field notes accumulated through site visits, organizational documents like annual reports, employee manuals, and policy manuals etc., organizational websites, and newspaper and journal articles. The study finds that: proactive stakeholder management is a viable business strategy; stakeholder organizations are engineered through people management policies; organizational culture and trust between the organization and its stakeholders plays crucial role in creating proactive stakeholder organizations; organizational stakeholders are recognized based on both dynamic and fixed features; conflict resolution in proactive stakeholder organizations is based on a balanced approach; and there is a dynamic relationship between value based business and entrepreneurship. The study contributes to research on proactive stakeholder management by studying the stakeholder phenomenon as a whole in its social context.
