N1 - Funding Information:
Of the 57 respondents the majority of 50.9% (29 respondents) have worked for state-owned civil engineering design firms from five to 10 years, with 19.3% (11 respondents) from one to five years and 29.8% (17 respondents) from 10 to 20 years. More than half the respondents (57.9%) are project managers of one to five state-owned projects. The percentages for 5–10 projects, 10–20 projects and more than 20 projects are 31.6%, 8.8% and 1.8% respectively. All projects involved in this study were concerned with infrastructure development, including highway and bridge construction projects. In this study, the enterprise where the survey was conducted is engineering firms focusing on the design of the projects. Furthermore, the survey was conducted only on projects in concept design phase, and thus, neither contractor nor supervisor had been involved in projects. In Vietnam, many transport infrastructure projects have been traditionally funded by government, and thus the owner is often either central government or local government. After Vietnam’s entry into the World Trade Organization in 2001, there are increasing numbers of infrastructure projects financed by private companies, overseas organizations, and the like.

N2 - Construction projects can involve a diverse range of stakeholders and the success of the project depends very much on fulfilling their needs and expectations. It is important, therefore, to identify and recognize project stakeholders and develop a rigorous stakeholder management process. However, limited research has investigated the impact of stakeholders on construction projects in developing countries. A stakeholder impact analysis (SIA), based on an approach developed by Olander (2007), was adopted to investigate the stakeholders' impact on state-owned civil engineering projects in Vietnam. This involved the analysis of a questionnaire survey of 57 project managers to determine the relative importance of different stakeholders. The results show the client to have the highest level of impact on the projects, followed by project managers and the senior management of state-owned engineering firms. The SIA also provides suggestions to project managers in developing and evaluating the stakeholder management process.
