Simulation Stakeholder Perspectives

What I learned from doing the simulation this day is that different groups of people or companies are willing to share ideas and opinions of how they want to solve the problems with trying to come up with an agreement. Being from a another background and having values that are in contrast to another group makes it important to listen first, then speak out what we think. Although the Indigenous and landless people believed that Aracruz wasn’t being fair regarding the distribution of land, the Internetional NGOS, FUNAI, and Community were willing to help and brainstorm ways to try to come up with a solution.
What I think went well for my group re stakeholder dialogue was that Aracruz agreed to give some more land back so that it can help the Indigenous and landless people. In addition, the government is willing to reimburse the money to Aracruz of the money they spent when the land was purchased before. Aracruz agrees to do this so that it can improve their image and prevent having a bad reputation so that other stakeholder groups will not look at Aracruz negatively.
The group I think was already effective because we had already shared our ideas of the problem, and came up with a solution for it. In addition, if the having the agreements with each other was a bad idea, someone could have stepped in and give explainations on why the agreed actions should not take place. Moreover, since no one spoken up about this, every one thought it was already good enough and signed the contract which I believe was effective. Furthermore, every one acted in a professional manner without having a bad argument which I think was great because not every one is able to control their emotions when it comes to trying to compromise a solution.
