External Stakeholder Management in Projects
External stakeholders in projects across sectors, such as infrastructure, policy, healthcare, and communication, are the set of users, special interest groups, and actors that are not a party to the contract but are socially or economically affected by the outcomes of the project. Since these projects create environmental, social, and political disruptions in their environment, these external stakeholders bear a majority of the project's negative impacts. These stakeholders express their concerns about the initial phase of the project, such as compulsory acquisition of houses and parks, the disruption caused by the implementation phase of the project, and its ongoing impacts in the operation phase on lifestyle, health, and wellbeing through protests and sometimes politically motivated public resistance. Managing such stakeholders is important as the success of any project depends on how its deliverables are viewed by the communities on whom its operations impinge. Project management literature notes how visioning, physical outreach, joint co-creation, visualization, interactive workshops, and social media engagement can improve collaboration with external stakeholders in project settings. There is a need to understand the practices, challenges and opportunities for the successful delivery of these projects, which this book explores. This edited book includes contributions from authors from Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, India, Ireland, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the US, who record the practice, challenges and opportunities of external stakeholder management in projects across different sectors through case studies. The book seeks to be a valuable resource for all project management academics, researchers and practitioners who are interested in improving external stakeholder management and the successful delivery of these projects.

Narratives in Megaprojects
This book is a novel contribution to a field dominated by conventional approaches to project management; it is about narratives in megaprojects. Among the questions examined in this original new book are:What are narratives?Why are they important in megaprojects?How are they formed and used in megaprojects?How do promotors of and protestors against megaprojects craft narratives to their advantage?What strategies can project managers employ to effectively use narratives in megaprojects?Built from longitudinal research studies in combination with internationally recognised teaching materials, this book will provide readers with a theoretical understanding of narratives and projects, as well as practical international case studies, including HS2, the Dakota Access Pipeline, the Eden Project and Thames Tideway, to support their understanding. The authors explain the different types of narrative, and how and why they are important in general and in relation to a megaproject and its lifecycle, but also explore how to craft narratives in different situations, and how they are changed and maintained over a project's lifecycle. Narratives in Megaprojects doubles as a text supporting more advanced courses on project management or aspects thereof, and as a reflection of the state of the art in this particular perspective on megaprojects. It is essential reading for all students and professionals in project management, construction and infrastructure as well as executive leaders involved in megaprojects and infrastructure delivery.
