Curran, M (2020) External stakeholder management and engagement on urban construction projects in the UK and Ireland. PhD thesis, Queen's University Belfast, UK.
Abstract
The disruptive nature of urban construction projects in the United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland results in hazardous and complex environments, particularly when considering the management and engagement of external stakeholders. Therefore, the aim of this research was to identify and document who the external stakeholders are; what issues are encountered and how they affect urban construction projects; and what strategies and methods of communication and engagement are used by on-site project managers to counteract the issues identified on urban construction projects in the UK and Ireland.

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
