Stakeholder salience refers to the importance you attribute to your stakeholders and the priority you assign to stakeholder claims when making decisions and executing work. Ranking and evaluating stakeholders based on power, legitimacy, and urgency enables managers to identify which stakeholders are most influential and require immediate attention. This approach allows managers to prioritise stakeholder needs effectively, ensuring that key concerns are addressed first, which ultimately contributes to finding a suitable solution to the problem.
