By categorizing stakeholders as potential allies, primary opponents, and needed indifferents, social entrepreneurs can identify means of support, barriers to progress, and parties that may need to be convinced of the value of the social venture. It's rarely the case that stakeholders fit neatly into these categories, thus social entrepreneurs may need to rely on heuristics to guide decision making. Which of the following is not one of the heuristics presented in the reading$($s$)$ regarding categorizing stakeholders?

Question $2$ Answer

a$.$

If it is unclear whether a stakeholder will be a potential ally, primary opponent, or needed indifferent, the social entrepreneur should assume that they will face some initial opposition. This assumption, even if incorrect, encourages the social ent. to strategize such that they are prepared for potential opposition from the stakeholder.

b$.$

If it is unclear whether a stakeholder will respond quickly or in a delayed manner, assume that the response will be delayed so that time and resources can be allocated to anticipating and resolving rapid responses from stakeholders.

c$.$

If it is unclear whether to expect early or delayed support from potential allies or indifferents, social ents. should expect that support will be delayed so that they are not surprised by a lock of support

d$.$

All of the above are heuristics presented in the reading$($s$)$
