Assessment 2: Stakeholder Report
Please see the CANVAS Assignments section for full details of the requirements for this assessment. Please choose one of the following scenarios as the basis for your Stakeholder Report:
1.A boutique New Zealand Café & Chocolate shop sign up for a blockchain-based application that enables them to trace and track the supply chain of the coffee and cocoa beans sourced from Latin America and Africa. Examine the implications of this decision for the shop and two stakeholders (internal and external).
2.A Healthcare facility is looking to introduce robotic technology (e.g., healthcare robots) to assist with both physical and social tasks. Examine the implications of this decision for the healthcare provider and two stakeholders (internal and external).
3.A US-based high-tech firm decides to diversify its operations by relocating its manufacturing to India. Examine the implications of this decision on two stakeholders (internal and external).
Key considerations
If there are many possible issues related to the scenario, choose the most important one to analyse in your report. You may brie y discuss other potential problems, but then explain and justify your primary choice of focus.
Choose two contrasting stakeholder perspectives to compare. Choose stakeholders impacted by the scenario. Also consider the location of your stakeholders, especially when the scenario involves two or more countries.
You may want to consider both the positive and negative perspectives of each stakeholder group.
Please also note that while you may analyse the impact of the decision on the firm, the firm itself is not a stakeholder. You should choose two stakeholders likely to be impacted in the scenario presented.
You can provide recommendations if needed.
