Why is it important?
This research provides project managers with information for developing practical strategies for managing the influence of traditional authorities to ensure an effective stakeholder management process at the pre-construction stage of infrastructure projects. Our findings highlight the elements of traditional authority that project stakeholder managers must focus on for a successful management of infrastructure projects. Furthermore, the patterns of influence identified in this study serve to alert project stakeholder managers on the potential risks and benefits that can arise during stakeholder management at the pre-construction stage.
Perspectives
This exploratory and qualitative study contributes toward improving our understanding of the influence of traditional authorities in the construction industry. It is relevant because traditional authorities exist in many countries and are recognized as key political actors and stakeholders in many infrastructure projects.
