Managing and Prioritizing Stakeholders

managing and prioritizing stakeholders -- a task every business needs to do as part of ethical decision making.  If you look at your first writing assignment, a stakeholder analysis of Facebook, you're asked to identify all the relevant stakeholders first ... a tough task ... but then you're asked to describe them, to prioritize them from most important to least important, and to identify what they are owed.  Finally, you're asked to identify solutions to resolve any gaps between what the stakeholders are owed (could be legal, could be economic, could be ethical, could be philanthropic) and how they're actually being treated.  This is a pretty big job, even though we're just getting started with the stakeholder analysis itself!
