LLL is an international oil and gas exploration company. It is considering investing S300 million in developing new oil fields in Country D. For this it will need to obtain a license from the government of Country D.

However, oil production in Country D will have some undesirable social effects, such as the threat of pollution, congestion to the roads and pressure on local amenities such as housing, electricity and clean water.

Which of the following approaches to stakeholder management should LLL NOT undertake in order to enter Country D?

AIssue free shares in a Joint Venture to develop oil fields to government ministers from Country D.

BCommit to improving the local amenities and roads as a part of the application for a license in Country D.

CDevelop and circulate a promotional video showing the benefits enjoyed by other countries in which LLL operates.

DUndertake stakeholder mapping to identify the interests of the most powerful players in the decision to grant a license to LLL.

Stakeholder mapping is crucial, but free shares? That's risky!

A promotional video? Really? That won't change the local impact.

Developing a promotional video sounds like a way to sway public opinion, but I’m not sure if it’s effective in this context, so maybe C is the one to avoid.

I think we had a practice question about stakeholder mapping, and it really helps to understand who the key players are, so D might not be the answer.

I remember we discussed how offering free shares could be seen as unethical or even bribery, so I think A might be the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with the specifics of ROADM node architecture. I'll have to review my notes to see if I can recall the number of degrees an omnidirectional add/drop unit can access.
