Purpose: The purpose of this article is to analyse the importance and changes of stakeholders using the Mitchell, Agle and Wood model with the example of a university-based special purpose entity (SPE). Design/methodology/approach: A review of national and international literature has helped to demonstrate the theoretical basis for the application of stakeholder theory based on the Mitchell, Agle and Wood model. In addition, research material collected during a qualitative study conducted among university-based SPEs in Poland and secondary material on these entities was used. Based on the analysis of the content of the interviews, conclusions were prepared on the use of stakeholder analysis of relevance and change in university-based SPEs. Findings: The article shows an analysis of stakeholders - their importance and possible changes - using the example of a university-based SPE as an interesting research subject in terms of stakeholder diversity and the challenges involved. Research limitations/implications: Further research into the use of the Mitchell, Agle and Wood model in university-based SPEs could be enriched by grading individual attributes to further analyse the importance and dynamics of the impact of different stakeholder groups on the organisation. Practical implications: Stakeholder analysis using the Mitchell, Agle and Wood model can provide a tool to support the management of university-based SPEs in developing appropriate - value-adding - stakeholder relationships. Originality/value: The article fills a research gap in the area of the management of universitybased SPEs, in particular in the analysis of the relevance and possible changes of stakeholders as a tool to help develop appropriate stakeholder relations. Category of the paper: case study.
