Stakeholders analysis of the airstrip information reporting system in rural Alaska

Stakeholder management theory has been applied to a myriad of applications over a range of disciplines. Within the confines of engineering management, project stakeholders management (PSM) has emerged as a viable process for achieving project objectives. Essentially, this is accomplished by managing both the adverse and supportive influence that key stakeholders can exert. These influences can neither be understood nor managed until a thorough analysis of the interrelationships between the project and its stakeholders is accomplished. A post-analysis, graphic representation of these associations provides an excellent source document to facilitate the PSM process. This paper presents a sequential method for developing a three-environment, stakeholder diagram. It invokes a specific application to add clarity to the method. The application involves a project to improve weather and runway condition reporting at rural airstrips in Interior Alaska
