Stakeholder Dynamics During the Project Front-End: The Case of Nuclear Waste Repository Projects

The importance of project stakeholder management and dynamics is emphasized in nuclear power field where stakeholders’ negative attitude towards a project can severely endanger the achievement of project’s objectives. The aim of this paper is to enrich our understanding of stakeholder dynamics during the project’s front-end stage – a research area which clearly merits from further empirical research. The study focuses on the examination of stakeholder dynamics of two pioneering nuclear repository projects, Onkalo in Finland and Yucca Mountain in USA during the project front-end stage. In order to systematically analyze changes in stakeholders’ importance and position, a salience-position matrix is developed in the study. This framework is believed to be of practical use for project managers when analyzing the needs and concerns of different stakeholders during the early feasibility and conceptual design stages of projects. Furthermore, the results of the study are valuable for project stakeholder research, since prior stakeholder literature has rarely conceptualized stakeholder dynamics and the elements of stakeholder dynamism in a systematic manner.
