Abstract

Using stakeholder theory, this article explores the motivations of charities in discharging accountability and the interplay of donor and beneficiary accountability needs. In particular, it considers the extent to which concentration on one group may disadvantage another, something suggested by theory. This research finds that stakeholders commonly perceived as more salient, such as donors, cede power and impute saliency to beneficiaries.
