Stake Holder Analysis (Posco Steel)
Introduction
Who are the people who will benefit from any given development activity? And whose interests might be harmed by it? Identifying the stakeholders, large and small, individual & organizational, for any given activity is essential if all the people who could have a bearing on its success or failure are to have their voices heard. All stakeholders need to have their opinions taken into account, even if some are to be set aside at a later date. Stakeholder Analysis allows managers to identify the interests of different groups and find ways of harnessing the support of those in favor or the activity, while managing the risks posed by stakeholders who are against it. It can also play a central role in identifying real development need and that may mean devising a different programme from the one you thought you were about to embark upon. Stakeholder Analysis should be an integral part of programme design, and appraisal. It is also a useful technique to use during reviews, missions and evaluations. Stakeholder analysis is a term used in conflict resolution, project management, and business administration to describe a process where all the individuals or groups that are likely to be affected by a proposed action are identified and then sorted according to how much they can affect the action and how much the action can affect them. This information is used to assess how the interests of those stakeholders should be addressed in a project plan, policy, program, or other action. Stakeholder analysis is a key part of Stakeholder management

Suggestions
The project implementation got delayed due to delayed acquisition of the allocated land to the project; the situation could have been avoided by implementing a community development and awareness drive before going for actual acquisition of land. A more supportive atmosphere could have been created, if the company would have adopted a fair and transparent acquisition policy of their own rather than that of Government. Lack in Community trust building efforts as well as educating the stakeholders about the positive prospects of the project. This initiative could have played a vital role in successful acquisition of land as well as getting the community support for setting up the project. They could have taken a holistic approach in partnering with the local NGOs in ensuring the proper allotment of funds meant for development of local community centers, i.e. schools, hospitals and temples etc. They should have emphasized on imparting vocational training and skills building to the local community to enhance their standard of living and in turn enhance their own credibility among the local community.
