3ETHICS AND STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Introduction
The use of drone technologies is a major breakthrough in the technological advancements
of the modern age. Many companies or organizations are utilizing the use of drone technology
for tending to the needs of their business processing. The government of the United States has
approved a delivery of medical supplies by a drone which comprised of 4.5 kg of supplies. The
drone was able to successfully complete the delivery to rural areas.
This report discusses about the stakeholders who are linked to the drone technology. This
report also includes the ethical issues connected to the stakeholders. Lastly, this report also
discusses about the various code of ethics of three different government bodies.
Discussion
1. Background case study
The drone responsible for the transfer of the medical supplies was made by a drone
manufacturer from Australia named Flirtey. The drone maneuvering was approved by the
Federal Aviation Authority in conjunction with NASA. The drone attempted to make flights for
three minutes (Goodchild and Toy 2017). For this reason, three flight attempts were made from
the airport of Lonesome Pine in Virginia to Wise County Fairgrounds clinic. It was also
supposed to deliver 24 medical packages to the rural community.
This experiment for delivery of medical supplies where considered to be an example for
showing that unmanned maneuvering can help in delivering to rural areas or remote areas which
are hard to reach using ground based vehicles. However, the utilization of the range and time of
flight parameters are the main difficulty in drone adoptions for delivery services.
