Stakeholder Identification and Analysis Plan for a Warehouse Shopping Center Project

Introduction:

A warehouse shopping center (WSC) is a large-scale development featuring wholesale and discount-focused retail stores, often housed in repurposed warehouse spaces. These centers offer bulk quantities of merchandise at lower prices, attracting a diverse range of customers and generating significant economic activity. However, the success of a WSC project hinges on effectively managing the interests and potential impacts on various stakeholders. This plan outlines the identification, analysis, and ranking of key stakeholders involved in a WSC project, laying the groundwork for successful communication, collaboration, and project execution.

• Internal Stakeholders:
  • Developers/Investors:Responsible for project funding, feasibility analysis, and overall development execution.
  • Project Management Team:Oversees project planning, budgeting, scheduling, and construction.
  • Retail Tenants:Lease occupiers who drive foot traffic and generate revenue for the WSC.
  • Property Management Team:Handles tenant relations, maintenance, and operational aspects of the center.
• External Stakeholders:
  • Local Government:Responsible for land use approvals, permitting, and regulations impacting the project.
  • Community Residents:Affected by construction, traffic changes, and potential benefits like job creation.
