Can an external stakeholder be considered a primary stakeholder?

In: Investing and Financial Markets, Marketing Advertising and Sales, Project Management [Edit categories]

Answer:

It depends on the situation but in most cases, the answer is Yes.

For ex: if your company is executing a project to create a website for my company, I am a stakeholder of the project but i am external to your company. I dont work in your company, but the success or failure of your project has a direct impact on me. Hence I am a primary stakeholder even though I am external.
