ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the Organic Stakeholder Model meeting the needs of managers in adapting a more organic view of stakeholder management. Decision-making in organizations is tied to stakeholder relationships in most kinds of business organizations, but especially in these types of hybrid organizations, such as water companies, and are used purposefully or unconsciously because of their embedded social and environmental mission. The first premise of garbage can processes, problematic preferences, are general for the anarchistic organization operating in changing environments, because no preferences are stable enough at any time-span from decision-making to implementation or action upon the preferences. The stakeholders needed extended time to agree to such a decision because it was crucial for them how much economic compensation they got from selling their houses to the water company. The merger of a water and wastewater company in Svendborg with the municipal waste section necessitated a new building with room for more offices, a canteen and more meeting facilities.
