Experimenting with Project Stakeholder Analysis

Abstract

The chapter reports on the case study project of the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) of a wind park farm in Brazil from the supplier perspective of Siemens Ltd. In the case study, researchers, together with practitioners, further developed project stakeholder analysis by explicitly integrating Sustainable Development (SD) principles. The chapter offers an operative approach and describes the working form systemic board to better handle the increasing dynamics and complexity in contemporary projects and contexts. For project stakeholder management, the consideration of SD principles means in particular: applying a more comprehensive stakeholder management approach with underpinning values that support sustainable development; integrating economic, ecologic, and social interests of project stakeholders into the project objectives to create shared benefit for the project investor and other project stakeholders; broadening the time perspective to consider not only current stakeholders but also future stakeholders of the investment initialized by the project; broadening the spatial perspective to consider local, regional as well as global impacts of the project for stakeholders; using systemic working forms to allow for making the dynamics and complexities of the project and the project contexts better visible to the project manager, the project team, and the project owner; taking consequences in the project organization which lead to more integrative project organization structures to support cooperation on a project and with its stakeholders.

Mediating effect of big data analytics on project performance of small and medium enterprises

“…Marcelino-Sádaba et al (2015) proposed a framework of sustainable PM, which concludes that stakeholders’ coordination and participation forms a connection between ethical and social aspect and the traditional PM. Weninger et al (2013) employed a case study approach for the analysis of project stakeholders; results show the importance of stakeholders for efficient, sustainable PM. Green procurement in PM faces a significant challenge, such as subcontractor selection (Hwang and Ng, 2013), customer pressures (Kuei et al , 2015), regulatory pressures (Zhu and Sarkis, 2006) and high complexity (Lenferink et al , 2013).…”

A Mixed-Method Study of Programme Management Resources and Social Enterprise Sustainability: A Developing-Country Context

“…In management and organisational research, a mixed methodology is typically recognised as the most successful method. Figure 1 shows that, for this study, the Qual model followed a mixed-method methodology [61]. In addition, qualitative conceptual analysis was conducted to support and enrich the findings of the following quantitative approach, known as the sequential exploratory approach.…”
