Homework Assignment 3. Stakeholder Mapping
This assignment is part of an ongoing development effort in the EU research and development consortium ATTRACT (https://attract-eu.com/). Your responses to this survey will be shared for development and research purposes with this consortium. Please indicate at the start of the assignment whether you would prefer to be acknowledged as the contributor of the responses or remain anonymous.
For this assignment, you need to select ONE of the company cases, and for this case, you need to answer ALL stakeholder questions around the provided scenario:
- UnicornDX: Develop the UnicornDX to enable usage in more extreme environments, such as at sea, keeping sustainability as a key consideration
- Consair: Develop the CAMU D2 with smart features, leveraging for example IoT and advanced sensor technology keeping sustainability as a key consideration
- Valmet: Develop the OptiCalender Metal Belt to make maintenance easier and safer keeping sustainability as a key consideration
- Safera: Develop the Sense Integral to increase accessibility for elderly, who might be visually or physically impaired, in order to scale to larger quantities keeping sustainability as a key consideration
Decide which company case you want to focus on for this assignment. You need to answer the questions for only ONE of the company cases. You cannot select the case you did for the PESTEL Assignment.
Consider the scenario of your case company. Within each stakeholder category (customer, supplier, collaborator, etc), describe three stakeholders who are key in this scenario for the company case of your choice. The description of and reasoning for each stakeholder should be approximately 100 words long (approximately a short paragraph or four sentences).
This assignment is about making educated guesses, so make sure to be specific and show your reasoning. For example, rather than mentioning that “hospitals are key customers, because they can pay for the development”, explain that “government-funded hospitals in Northern Europe are key customers, because their financing structure enables them to prioritize more sustainable alternatives”.
Grading
For part 1, you can receive up to 2 points per question, resulting in a total of up to 16 points. For part 2, you can receive up to 8 points for this one question. In total, you can thus receive 24 points for the entire assignment. Grading rubrics for questions of part 1, and part 2 are different. We will use the following rubric to grade your responses:
Part 1
0 | 1 | 2 |
Three key stakeholders are not mentioned, or reasoning is not given for why all three of these stakeholders are key in the provided development scenario. | Three key stakeholders are mentioned, but reasoning as to why these stakeholders are key in the provided development scenario is not convincing for some or is vague. | Three key stakeholders are mentioned with clear and specific reasoning why these stakeholders are key in the provided development scenario. |
Part 2
0 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 |
A stakeholder group is chosen but not justified, or the envisioned approach and reasoning remain vague or insufficiently connected to this stakeholder group interacting with the case company. | The chosen stakeholder group is clear but insufficiently justified. For the envisioned approach, a why, how, and what are described but not clearly, or the connection to this stakeholder group interacting with the case company remains vague. | The chosen stakeholder group is clear and somewhat justified. For the envisioned approach, a why, how, and what are clearly described, but the connection to this stakeholder group interacting with the case company remains somewhat vague. | The chosen stakeholder group is clear and somewhat justified. For the envisioned approach, a why, how, and what are clearly described, with some connection to this stakeholder group interacting with the case company. | The chosen stakeholder group is clear and justified. For the envisioned approach, a why, how, and what are clearly described, with clear connection to this stakeholder group interacting with the case company in the provided development scenario. | The chosen stakeholder group is clear and well-justified. For the envisioned approach, a very clear why, how, and what are described, with great reasoning how this is specific to this stakeholder group interacting with the case company in the provided development scenario. |
