Abstract:

Interest in stakeholders has grown considerably since Freeman’s (1984) seminal work “Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach” was published. The interactions and interrelationships between stakeholders largely determine the overall performance of a construction project, and have the crucial responsibility for delivering a project to successful completion. An important component of stakeholder management is stakeholder analysis. A case study has been conducted at Jaipur, Rajasthan under the company “ITD CEMENTATION LIMITED”, undertaking the work of Jaipur Metro. The company is involved in the construction of underground station of Jaipur Metro at Chand pole. The main objective is to carry out stakeholder analysis, and to identify the key stakeholders who will be responsible for the successful outcome of the project and also to identify the stakeholders who can be threats to the company on the basis of their power and influence level. There are about 326 stakeholders involved in the project. All these stakeholders are analyzed and are managed and data’s regarding these stakeholders are stored using Project Stakeholders Organize Deluxe Software 3.7. Project Stakeholder Organize Deluxe 3.7 is simple database management software that helps us to enter, organize, and manage our project stakeholders. These findings may mainly reflect the stake holder management environment in the respective regions of project implementation.
