Abstract

This paper explores the stakeholders of UK universities, focusing on the University of Portsmouth as a case study. The data for the study is collected through interviews with key opinion leaders within the university relating to stakeholder management. Findings explore the stakeholders of the university, their perceived relative level of importance, and the factors affecting these perceptions. The research provides insight into the complex nature of stakeholder management in the university context and highlights three key factors influencing the relative importance of stakeholders upon which a new framework for stakeholder management in the university sector is proposed.
