• Consider the strengths and weaknesses of each stakeholder position,
especially how their desires for action could impact the company’s
profitability. Then, select a course of action from the following list:
o Deny any link between the company and the sonox detected in the
river and refuse to study the issue further.
o Agree to continue collecting data and investigating the issue further
without admitting the mill is the source of sonox.
o Assume there is a link between the sonox and the company and take
immediate steps to upgrade the plant to prevent future spillages.
• Provide an argument in support of your decision. Support your
decision with evidence and logic (not your personal opinion). An
important part of your grade on this assignment is demonstrating your
ability to think critically: to suspend judgment while gathering evidence
and consulting the various stakeholders’ positions, to analyze each
position, to consider the impact of different courses of action, and then
to make a decision and support it with evidence and logic.
• Ignore the actual outcome of the case provided in the text. The
details given in the book regarding the outcome of the case should not
be referenced in your paper nor influence your decision.
• Format your paper according to APA guidelines, including any
references to the textbook or other sources.
• Post your completed Stakeholder Analysis Table and paper as
attachments.
