Stakeholders are individuals who either care about or have a vested interest in your project. They are the people who are actively involved with the work of the project or have something to either gain or lose as a result of the project.
A vendor, also known as a supplier, is an individual or company that sells goods or services to someone else in the economic production chain.
Vendors are a part of the supply chain: the network of all the individuals, organizations, resources, activities and technology involved in the creation and sale of a product, from the delivery of source materials from the supplier to the manufacturer, through to its eventual delivery to the end user.
Having suppliers and vendors on a project team can be a very rewarding experience, and is very often a necessary factor of success. As a project manager, the way you engender the philosophy of your team to work with suppliers and vendors sets the stage for the success of all parties involved.
