I agree with as934 and additional to both voices, I want to examine the internal and external stakeholders briefly. We know employees can be considered stakeholders in a company. The first thought I had was laying off employees. Think of the self-checkout services that companies have adopted in past 4-5 years. I assume the project managers of this technology realized they will make a huge profit because companies will lay-off employees since they now, in the long term this will save the company in cost for production, which is critical. The companies managers now have to take into consideration the stalk holders i.e (employees). From a business point of view, this is great, from a employee view its terrible. Therefore, interpersonal skills need to be shown through out this process, because if you do not take care of your workers the company’s reputation will be tarnished. So what can be done? A program such as a severance package can be proposed. Which is done throughout many companies.
