Abstract

The last chapter had set out an overview of the stakeholders identified in the Adelaide airport stakeholder network. The three main metrics are discussed, salience, frames of reference, and network centrality. The chapter has indicated to a degree of how complex and intricate the data involved is. There is no relation between either one of the main metrics, which presents evidence that the context and environment to the Adelaide stakeholder arena is indeed complex and multifaceted. After reading this case study, one cannot look at the data and pick ‘the most important’ stakeholder, nor ‘the least important’ stakeholder. In fact, the data is so complex that it defies categorization. This implicates that stakeholder engagement within complex and dynamic environments, such as airports, requires a more contingent, and specialized approach, and one which is based on each stakeholder being considered separately. The information compiled using the three pronged approach of the three component stakeholder analysis is for that purpose a rich source of reference that can assist in drafting meaningful and personalized engagement policies.
