Written Business Communication (Peer Response #1) - Assignment Example

Written business communication: Peer response The argument, for preservation of existing trees and sourcing for finances for planting trees that the companies can later log, sounds fair but does not optimize available opportunities for meeting identified needs. This is because it neither solves the current dilemma nor affects any party, at least in the short run. Residents in the area are immediate stakeholders and suffer from underemployment or unemployment while the proposal for logging offers job opportunities as well as economic benefits to the logging companies and revenues to the authorities and I believe that a solution with both shot term and long-term benefits to all the major stakeholders is possible.

A proper management that would ensure systematic logging and planting of trees is an example. Regulated logging and plantation that would ensure sustainability of a safe percentage of the vegetation, based on scientific survey, would provide jobs for logging services and the plantation and management of growing trees and at the same time meet the interest of logging companies, authorities, and political stakeholders. The alternative further integrates your initial proposal but improves it by ensuring immediate implementation.

In addition, the proposal has more benefits because it will offer opportunities for improving the vegetation, based on tourists taste and preferences, for more effective tourist attraction. New varieties of trees that can attract more tourists can be planted in the region to boost tourism and other improvements can be done on the area than when it previously had limited room for innovation. The proposal is based on the utilitarian concept that advocates for maximum benefit, of decisions or actions, to a majority of members of the society (Brooks and Dunn, 2009).
