From: Jonathan Moore

Subject: Stakeholder Analysis Memo

Date: 11 October 2012

Purpose

The stakeholder analysis keenly identifies the most important audiences that have invested their attention and possibly money towards the issue at hand. This analysis also develops a new view of what stakeholders feel about the issue while establishing a relationship between different stakeholders and issues they care about. During the analysis creation, potential clashes of ideas are realized which help reach a stronger solution for the final argumentation.

Application to the Course

This genre works well for the course because it truly helps find the issue’s true audience and focuses on their conflicts and how to resolve the problem. To effectively achieve a great stakeholder analysis, it must have the influences and impacts of all potential stakeholders, keep the information short and concise, use data tables to easily organize data (optional), and omit informal language to convey correct information to academic and non-academic audiences.
