Relationship between StakeholdersThe relationship between stakeholders in a business may be described as being either co-operative or competitive. Co-operative:
Here, a harmonious relationship exists between the stakeholders because they are in agreement with each other.
Competitive: Here, a difficult relationship develops between
the stakeholders because they are in disagreement with each other

Problem with Restrictions: This is when the investor imposes restrictions on how the entrepreneur can use the funds.
Problem with Information: This is when the investor looks for more information about the business than the entrepreneur wishes to disclose.
Relationship between Stakeholders2. Entrepreneur and Supplier
Co-operative Relationship: Can rely on each other: This is when the
entrepreneur relies on the supplier to provide goods or materials, on time and at a reasonable price, while the supplier relies on the entrepreneur to provide a market for his products.

to get goods at the lowest price and best terms, while the supplier will try to maximise prices and terms in his favour.
