The Stakeholder ranges from being individuals as well as groups and also includes communities or any institutions. Having the common area of interest creates the grouping in the stakeholders. So, if a community is looked on to as a single group might not fully explain it, since a single community can have multiple sub- groups comprising of the their economic status, or their age, or any particular ethnicity etc. (Francesco Perrini Antonio Tencati, 2006). Amongst these sub- groups, one can impact the activity, whilst other can influence in making an impact.
