Homework: Action Research Problem: Organizational Ethics - Banking Industry
Part A: Complete the "Stakeholder" Excel spreadsheet (see attached)
The purpose of this homework is to identify key stakeholders within your organization who are affected by, have influence over, or have an interest in solving the problem you are attempting to address with your action research project.
In the analysis, list titles and groups of stakeholders. Do not list names of specific individuals. It is important to note the role each stakeholder has in the problem and in solving the problem. Determine whether or not the individual or group has a negative, indifferent, positive, or very positive predisposition about the problem.
Within the spreadsheet, there is a tab labeled "Current-State Matrix." Study the terminology related to influence and support and think about how each block describes the feelings a stakeholder may have about the problem and proposed solution. For example, there may be a group or individual that has a high degree of support with regard to solving the problem. Taking time to rank the level of influence and support for each stakeholder is critical as you proceed, because it may have a large role in determining whether or not specific problem solutions can be implemented.
Part B: 500 word summary
In the summary, discuss the following:
I. Summarize stakeholder attitudes about the identified problem and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
II. Summarize stakeholder attitudes or experiences related to previously implemented problem solutions and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
III. Summarize stakeholder ideas for potential solutions and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
IV. Who are the stakeholders you will seek to act as sponsors to support you in the implementation of a problem solution? Provide specific reasons why these stakeholders are key to implementing a solution.
