Stakeholders polls

Because we can assume that the stakeholders polls are obtained from a finite distribution, we can measure the disagreement by using a risk metric such as CVaR. To this end we solve the following problem ... 

The willingness to open up for dialogue and, thus, for the politicisation of policy advice follows from the Commission s broader approach to engage civil society and stakeholders (Madelin 2004). This might be a response to the distrust of EU policies and institutions witnessed in polls and in the series of negative outcomes in national referenda that have blocked major reforms. 

Evaluating the program s impact on public trust is more complicated. Although Responsible Care may have helped arrest the precipitous decline in trust that marked the early to mid-1980s, industry polls continue to reveal low overall levels of public confidence in the industry. To address the concerns of its diverse stakeholders, the chemical industry has formed hundreds of community advisory councils and partnerships with community and environmental activists in an attempt to hear their points of view (see Section 6.7). While individual companies report improved community relations and while the industry is much more open than it has ever been, polls indicate that it remains low in the public s esteem (Moffet, 1999). 

This poll showed that with those already involved with environmental reporting, improvement in stakeholder relations came top of the league, followed closely by improvements in management strategy. 

It is a fundamental axiom that if stakeholders are polled with respect to their technology needs, the value of requests will exceed any reasonable budget allocations. This is more evident if planning is performed on a renewable annual basis because stakeholders see each year as a new competition. 

In Table 7.2 we present the average and worst-case solutions under four different polls from 100 stakeholders. We assume that the polls are designed in such a way that the stakeholders express four different opinions (1) their only priority is emissions, (2) their only priority is cost, (3) their only priority is land use, and (4) all three objectives are equally important. In a first poU we have 50%, 50%, 0%, 0%, in a second poll we have...
