“…Today, these policies address the “global environment” or the “global common good,” aiming to benefit a wide range of faceless stakeholders (consumers, employees, communities, etc.). As a result, beneficiaries are increasingly virtualized, dispersed, and fragmented actors that struggle to directly participate in CSR regulatory processes (Fransen & Kolk ; Derry ).…”

Intended beneficiaries have an undeniable relevance to regulation. However, current research has focused mainly on the two‐party relationship between rulemaking and rule‐taking. We attempt to fill this gap by exploring the formal and informal roles that beneficiaries’ intermediaries played in co‐creating European Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rules and associated practices between 2000 and 2017. By linking recent conceptualizations of regulatory intermediaries with the literature on critical political CSR, we offer a more dynamic and contextualized understanding of the roles of beneficiaries’ intermediaries. Specifically, we identify six micro‐dynamics through which they influenced the regulatory process. Notably, our findings highlight how the convergence of interests between three groups of beneficiaries’ intermediaries – the Non‐governmental organization–Investor–Union nexus – had a key role in reshaping CSR rules. We conclude that, in the European context, stronger and better‐coordinated beneficiaries’ intermediaries are crucial in order to achieve more effective corporate conduct regulation.

“…Empowerment becomes crucial within supply chains that deal with and rely on stakeholder groups who are low powered and vulnerable while simultaneously being critical resource providers for the company and being key to supply chain survival and development [18]. In the context of this study, low-power and vulnerable stakeholders are conceptualized as those stakeholder groups typically placed at the upper end of the supply chain who live in low-income households among marginalized communities and whose voices are generally not considered legitimate [19,20]; this condition decreases their ability to make valuable decisions and to understand the key role they play.…”

“…Regulation of the evolving linkages throughout the supply chain imposes the prioritization of resources and the identification of groups of stakeholders who are critical for value co-creation and can contribute to supply chain resilience with their own resources, capabilities, skills, and knowledge in cooperation with the firm [18]. This study of the coffee supply chain has focused on low-power, vulnerable stakeholders [7,19,20] who work as coffee extractors in the coffee business. This is a long, complex, and idiosyncratic supply chain in which low-power stakeholders face issues such as climate change and market instability within greater asymmetries of information.…”

This study examines the empowerment of low-power, vulnerable stakeholders of global, complex supply chains as one effective strategy to increase value co-creation and to moderate the vulnerabilities that threaten supply chain resilience. Previous scholars have indicated the necessity of investigating the concept of value co-creation further by including various stakeholder perspectives and suggesting systems of evaluation. This research thus focuses on low-power smallholder farmers within the coffee supply chain by qualitatively evaluating the effectiveness of value co-creation projects. The study also analyzes the extent of development and the nature of empowerment initiatives designed conjointly by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and coffee roasters that are addressed to farmers. The mixed qualitative methodology includes a literature review, interviews, focus groups, and content analysis of 20 value co-creation projects conducted in various developing and emerging coffee-producing countries. The research proposes a theoretical framework employed to conduct focus groups with Brazilian coffee farmers. This framework empirically demonstrates that these farmers are in the process of becoming business partners of the coffee supply chain thanks to various empowerment initiatives, common to most of the analyzed projects, that appear to moderate specific vulnerabilities of the coffee supply chain and therefore benefit supply chain resilience.

“…Since Freeman's work (), numerous authors have offered stakeholder definitions, and in fact hundreds of different definitions can be identified in the literature (Miles, ), implying that no consensus exists. Part of the reason for this is that researchers put different emphases on inclusiveness when it comes to deciding who should be counted as a stakeholder as well as who to deal with and focus on from a managerial point of view (Derry, ).…”

According to research, stakeholder disappointment is a root problem within projects. In this article, the dilemmas related to stakeholder inclusiveness, in other words, engaging a broad range of stakeholders, are discussed. Based on a longitudinal case study, three propositions are offered: Applying stakeholder inclusiveness in a project (1) increases the likelihood of more engaged and satisfied stakeholders; (2) increases the danger of losing focus on those stakeholders who possess the most critical resources for the project's survival and progress; and (3) increases the danger of inducing stakeholder disappointment due to expectation escalation and impossibility of embracing conflicting requirements and wishes.
