You have read that stakeholder analysis is an important requirement for change management. You know that you will soon need critical information from the VP of the U.S. unit to complete this activity.

Prompt Write a short memo explaining the significance of stakeholder analysis. Specifically, you must address the following criteria: Describe the use of stakeholder analysis in organizational change management. How will the identities of different stakeholders influence their views on change initiatives? How can stakeholders encourage or inhibit change in an organization?
