Directors' Pay: A Fair Deal? - Making Arguments Better: Stakeholders
Now you have decided which is the best argument, take a look a look at the list below. This provides a guide to the level of argument within a piece of text. Have you changed your mind or do you think you picked the best one?
| Level | Better arguments recognise different stakeholders | Example |
| 1 | Only presents view of one stakeholder | The view of Greenpeace on recycling |
| 2 | Presents the views of more than one stakeholder | Compares the views of Shell and Greenpeace on recycling the Brent Spar oil platform |
| 3 | Suggests how the interests of different stakeholders can be brought together | Considers incentives, such as payments from the government and taxation of waste disposal, that would create incentives for an outcome that both parties would consider preferable |
| 4 | Considers the advantages and disadvantages of any one way of getting stakeholders to work for the same outcome | Examines the costs and benefits of alternative policies (e.g. taxation or government grants) that might lead to Shell and Greenpeace preferring the same option |
