A nice visual example of stakeholder action in the Guardian today - pictures from the demonstration staged by Cadbury employees and their family & friends in protest at the Kraft Foods takeover. Some great quotes in this article too A good example to use when illustrating the different stakeholders in a complex business like Cadbury. Of course, the stakeholders that really matter (the business owners) were nowhere to be seen!.
