Why is it important for businesses to recognize secondary stakeholder groups?

A) They are absolutely necessary for the firm's survival.
B) They include the employees necessary for the firm's success.
C) They usually have more power than primary stakeholders.
D) They provide vital resources that companies need.
E) They have legitimacy and can exert power.

Secondary stakeholder groups can have legitimacy and therefore can exert power over a company. Ignoring their concerns and needs can lead to backlash and negative consequences for the firm. Additionally, they may provide important resources such as suppliers or community support. However, they are not necessarily more powerful than primary stakeholders, and their importance may vary depending on the specific business and industry.
