Would anyone be able to tell link me in direction of economist(s) working in
the areas of relationship capital and value exchange who would also be happy
to consider the appication context of auditing an organisation's stakeholder
relationships (say for a period 3 years forward) ?

In case I'm using a slightly mixed terminology, here are 5 of the simplest
ideas I hold to be core to relationship auditing of a company, which
hopefully show that any monitoring system that succeeds in doing this will
be very different from the transactional measurements that corporates
historically have been governed by

1 Different timespan from a transaction
-eg don't you think a relationship promise should to a customer should be
kept for at least 3 years into the future?

2 Involves caring about value wants from stakeholder's own viewpoint; not
just measuring the value the company wants to take

3 Value may be monetary, or not. Moreover, in case of eg many knowledge
products, the biggest value issue may be whether customers can make money
from your product

4 In a relationship exchange, a change of value delivery to one stakeholder
group usually impacts other groups even if there's a lag effect. Trends like
globalisation, nets & transparency make a new communal dynamic core to the
evaluation of intangibles

5 Be prepared for web-like relationship impacts within a stakeholder group.
In brand terminology, you need to model dynamics arising from the brand
turning individual stakeholders into energetic fans or foes. Arguably, Brand
Energy is to relationships what awareness was to transactions
