At this time, you do not need to provide potential solutions to you issue, nor your Policy statement, this will likely evolve as you perform research for the paper.
The problem of harm or benefit to key stakeholders refers to the issue of determining the potential positive or negative impact that a decision, action, or policy may have on the individuals, groups, or entities that are directly affected by it. These stakeholders can include customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers, and the wider community.
The problem arises when a decision or action may provide benefits to one group of stakeholders while causing harm to another. For example, a company may decide to relocate its manufacturing plant to a different location to reduce costs, which may benefit shareholders through increased profits, but could harm local communities by causing job losses and environmental damage.
The challenge is to strike a balance between the interests of different stakeholders and to minimize any negative impacts that may result from a decision or action. This requires careful consideration of the potential consequences of different options and the development of strategies that can mitigate any negative effects on key stakeholders.
