The purpose of this report is to help The Carlson Company determine which stakeholders to prioritize regarding their decision to expand the Regent Luxury Hotel to Papagayo, Costa Rica. Many stakeholders will be affected by this decision. By understanding this, management will be able to see and possibly predict the actions of the primary stakeholders.
