Abstract
Typically, the lack of effective stakeholder participation in a project—especially in the initial planning and implementation stages—has a negative impact on the expected performance of the project. These negative consequences require attempts to encourage their effective participation. Nevertheless, there are some challenges ahead, such as conflict of interest among the stakeholders. For more accurate identification of the interests, objectives, and performance of the stakeholders, this paper proposes an accurate and organized model for the analysis of results from the stakeholder impact index. We implemented the proposed model to determine the existing barriers to renewable energy development in Iran, specifically the wind and solar energy sectors. For data collection, we used the opinions of the experts and other people involved in these industries. Data analysis showed that the current implantation conditions of the solar and wind energy sectors were similar from the stakeholders’ perspectives as not bad but poor. The required position of each stakeholder to lift the barriers and develop these industries was identified and their current positions from the desirable conditions were assessed. Finally, some recommendations were presented to improve the stakeholders’ conditions and eliminate the barriers.
Highlights
In executing projects, an important problem is the presence of different stakeholders having diverse interests during the project makespan (Abidin, 2010)
Theoretical Contribution The main objective of this study was to provide a theoretical method for an organized and accurate analysis of the results obtained from the stakeholder impact index
Negative or zero values for the total impact indices of all stakeholders indicated that the project is undesirable, whereas a total impact index in the range of 0–1 indicated that the project condition is desirable
Summary
An important problem is the presence of different stakeholders having diverse interests during the project makespan (Abidin, 2010). Various techniques have been proposed to evaluate the stakeholder influencing level such as the score-based approach (Mitchel et al, 1997), the power/interest matrix (Johnson, Scholes, 1999), and the circle of stakeholders (Bourne, Walker, 2008); Delphi survey (Rezk, Radwan, Salem, Sakr, Tvaronavičienė, 2019). These methods were criticized by Wang et al (2012) for being too qualitative and abstract. Nhat Hong Nguyen et al (2009) developed a stakeholder impact index method by considering proximity and stakeholder knowledge in addition to power, urgency, and legitimacy They used this method to analyze the stakeholder influence on state-owned civil projects in Vietnam
