media wants to keep public informed about health & well-being
social activists want to monitor company actions and ensure that they comply with ethical and legal standards
government wants to raise revenue through taxes and promote economic development

Legitimacy refers to the perceived validity of the stakeholder’s claim to a stake
Power refers to the ability or capacity of a stakeholder to produce an effect
Urgency refers to the degree to which the stakeholder’s claim demands immediate attention
Legitimacy, Power, Urgency:
A Typology of Stakeholder Attributes
Typology of Stakeholder Attributes
Dormant Stakeholders - Possess power to impose their will through coercive, utilitarian or symbolic means, but have little or no interaction/involvement as they lack legitimacy or urgency.
Discretionary Stakeholders - Likely to be recipients of corporate philanthropy. No pressure on managers to engage with this group, but they may choose to do so.
Demanding Stakeholders - Those with urgent claims, but no legitimacy or power. Irritants for management, but viewed as not worth considering. People with unjustified grudges, serial complainers or low return customers.
Dominant Stakeholders - Likely to have a formal mechanism in place acknowledging the relationship with the organization or project e.g. Boards of Directors, HR department, public relations.
Dangerous Stakeholders – Those with powerful and urgent claims will be coercive and possibly violent. For example, employee sabotage or coercive/unlawful tactics used by activists.
Dependent Stakeholders – Stakeholders who lack the power to enforce their stake. For example, animals impacted by the BP oil spill. Advocacy of their interests by dominant stakeholders can make them definitive.
Definitive Stakeholders - An expectant stakeholder who gains the relevant missing attribute. Often dominant stakeholders with an urgent issue, or dependent groups with powerful legal support.
What moral responsibilities does the firm have to each of its stakeholders?
Philanthropic Responsibilities Be a good corporate citizen.
Ethical Responsibilities Be ethical.
Legal Responsibilities Obey the law.
Economic Responsibilities Be profitable.

The Issues
Mariner 1 project reuses existing pipes
Much of the pipe dates from 1932 – 82 years old
Pressure to increase pressure from 800 to approximately 1,500 psi
18 new pump stations and 17 valve control stations
Scheduled for use for middle of 2015 for 70,00 barrels/day pure propane
No financial benefit to impacted communities, as 90% committed to shippers
Mariner 2 announced and has committed shippers
Official filings with the DEP as of April 2015
Increased demands for infrastructure buildup in the southeastern PA region
Scheduled to carry 275,000 barrels/day pure liquid ethane by 2016
