Research On The Coordination Mechanism Among Project Stakeholders

The complexity of the modern project and the requirements for time, cost and quality are getting higher and higher. The success of the project is no longer just rely on the management level of project managers, and it required all stakeholders to support and participate in the project. Stakeholders become an important factor in the success of the project. Theoretical research and project management practice indicates that stakeholders' not being able to interact in an orderly manner and having no harmonious relationship is an important factor in the failure of the project. The stakeholders' harmonious cooperation has the most important impact on the success of the project. Therefore, how to strengthen the project stakeholder management, deal with the relationship between stakeholders so that they interact in an orderly manner to realize the success of the project, becoming the current project management questions that need urgent solutions. This article put forward a question of project stakeholder coordination mechanism, and conducted a theoretical and practical exploration.Coordination mechanism among project stakeholders is the design or arrangement rules and strategies that establish and maintain stakeholder partnerships to make it develop from disorderly to orderly in order to achieve the success of the project. It is a pro-active type, prevention-oriented, high-level system design and arrangement. It is the solution for the expected problem or conflict in the running process of the project. By building project stakeholder coordination mechanism, establishing and maintaining the stakeholder cooperation, the project system could develop from disorder to order and realize the goal of project management.This study mainly includes the following: the paper analyzed mechanism of coordination between the project stakeholders, constructed the coordination mechanism of project stakeholders, and set up the survey system of coordination of project stakeholders.Now the research about the question of project stakeholder coordination mechanism is rare. Chapter 3 discussed the System Properties of the project organization, build the evolution model of project system and analyzed the formation mechanism of the synergetic state. Based on the principles of synergetics and self-organization theory, the paper analyzed mechanism of coordination among the project stakeholders, pointed out that the project system under the trigger of the rise and fall, through the mechanism of coordination between the project stakeholders. This is the first sparkling point of this paper.Based on synergetic theory and evolutionary mechanisms of the project stakeholders' cooperation, Chapter 4 seized the key elements that could affect the evolution of cooperation and build the coordination mechanism of project stakeholders including internal stakeholders' coordination mechanism and external stakeholders' coordination mechanism. Internal project stakeholders' mechanism is divided into dominant coordination mechanism, implicit coordination mechanism and protection mechanism of coordination. The three parts constitute a continuum, and promote the relations among project stakeholders from disorderly to orderly development in order to reach a collaborative state. External stakeholder coordination mechanism is based on public relations theory. It can realize a win-win for the project team and its external stakeholder, create a favorable external condition for the project running. This is the second sparkling point of this paper.Chapter 5 defined the concept of the coordinate degrees of project stakeholder and pointed out that coordinate degrees of project stakeholder refers to the level of coordination between the project stakeholders. It recalled the related research of measurement of organization coordination from the perspective of coordination of single organization and the coordination of complex network systems. Based on the synergetic theory and harmonious theory , this paper measured the coordination of project stakeholders. It also analyzed the structure of system elements from the point of view of network system , set up analysis matrix of project coordination and evaluation index system so that data analysis and coordination of diagnostic results are more objective, and can guide the design of optimization of the coordination of stakeholders effectively. This is the third sparkling point of this paper.In order to study the effectiveness of coordination mechanisms, Chapter 6 measured the coordination of project stakeholders in empirical project and put forward the optimization program.
