Abstract
The need for diverse expertise, abundant resources and coherent management are the most important results of project complexity. Therefore, construction project management is essential to achieve project goals. There are a variety of stakeholders who are interconnected and whose performance affects the success or failure of the project. In the present study, the selection of the optimal stakeholder composition is based on portfolio theory. So that more risky and costly stakeholders are selected for stakeholder management. Also, the correlation between stakeholders in construction projects is analyzed by social network analysis (SNA) method. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze portfolio of stakeholders of construction projects for using the SNA and optimization method. First, stakeholders and their risk, cost and correlation coefficient were identified and evaluated through interviews and questionnaires. Then, using the NetMiner-4 software and augmented epsilon constraint method their risk and cost were optimized and Stakeholder portfolios are selected. In fact, the main focus would shift on such stakeholders in the selected portfolio, while others would receive their own due attention. Therefore, the research findings include identifying significant stakeholders based on the constraints and the impact they will have on the project to manage stakeholders.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
