Stakeholder Management: An Insightful Overview of Issues
Abstract
This paper attempts to contribute towards investigating the existing literature base of
stakeholder management (SM), provide a compilation, and define any gaps in this area.
Besides, explore different groups of critical success factors (CSFs) and grouping these
actors. This study is based on reviewing the literature. Therefore, more than a hundred
research papers were searched by the key terms specified in a preceding literature review.
Succeeding tours of abstract research surveys resulted in forty-two research papers being
picked for the compilation. SM constructs were identified, and the following crucial
analysis defined the literature base gaps. The most notable outcomes are the absence
of research that has studied BIM-based stakeholder management, especially in mega
projects. Additionally, further investigations are still required to study the SM influence
throughout the different stages of the project life cycle and study the impact of project
type and contract type in SM. However, there is still considerable debate about the SM
nature and merits approach. This study presents a comprehensive gathering of all earlier
identified SM processes through a structured approach. Additionally, a more realistic
and practical methodology for the development and implementation of SM will emerge,
and twenty-seven CSFs associated with SM in construction projects are identified. The
study is expected to have a theoretical contribution to this subject, especially in the
context of the Qatari construction industry.
