Stakeholder and Genre Analysis
I am writing a research project. My topic is (how road signs, maps, health apps, and running clubs help and motivate people to run). In This paper I need to identify and analyze the possible stakeholders, then analyze the genres. The possible stakeholders like, companies, athletes, and society, etc.. .The genres that I am planning to analyze are road signs, maps, health apps, and running clubs.
How to write this paper:
Part One: Stakeholder Analysis: Write a 2-page minimum analysis that outlines all of the possible stakeholders for your project and then conduct a more focused analysis of your discourse communities you are considering for your project. Who are these people? Why are they stakeholders? What can they do in response to your findings/proposals/concerns?
Part Two: Genre Analysis: Write a 2-page minimum analysis in which you do two things:
1. Identify the genre sets used by the groups you have identified in part one. What do these groupsread and write on a regular basis? Where do they get their information? What information do they find convincing when making decisions?
2. Determine which genre would be most suitable for you to use when communicating your research to these groups and explain why. Then, analyze these genre sets: what do they look like? How are they organized? What information do they include? How are the sources cited?
3. Close with an answer. You may need to conduct interviews and collect samples of unfamiliar texts in order to complete the analysis. By the end of the stakeholder and genre analysis, you should have determined your audience and your genre, considered how to reach them, and know how to write the text you need to write in order to reach them.
Audience: You are writing this for yourself and for me. This is a process of determining how you will present your findings and what significance they have for your message.
Evaluation: The primary ability you need to demonstrate is analysis. Can you and have you carefully analyzed the potential stakeholder and genres, and then completed a careful textual analysis of your stakeholders and genres? Are your findings supported with evidence? There are many parts to this analysis, so figuring out to organize (suggestion: use subheadings) the text will also be central to the text—and don’t forget to cite any sources you use in your text, including those interviews.
Formatting note: Your paper should be one document, split into two parts. It’s best to use subheadings or new titles because it creates an organized, cohesive text. You do not need a works cited page or bibliography for this project as it is discourse community-focused and not focused on sources.
