****Assignment***

For this assignment, perform a power analysis of at least three of the stakeholders that you identified in Part I. Explain your rationale by citing concepts discussed in Weeks 1–4. You are encouraged to create your own “towers of power” graphics for this assignment by using the drawing functions in PowerPoint or Word.

State Ape University has five major stakeholders groups who play different roles to ultimately complete the institution vision and mission. Administrators are responsible for the maintenance as well as supervision of the university. Academic staffs are also critical in matters of academics. They include professors of different ranks, lecturers and also to mention researchers. Their role in the transfer enrollment process is to support systems for retaining transfer students and more importantly help transfer students persist to graduation (Tierney, 2008). Resistance can be encountered in different scenarios especially when stakeholders don’t share interests.
