Stakeholders in Sustainable Project Management

This Special Issue will be devoted to stakeholders in sustainable project management, where sustainability will refer both to the project per se and to the project product or outcome. The papers should cover the problem of project stakeholder identification, evaluation, and management. They should answer the questions on how to increase project, project product or project outcome sustainability through a proper approach towards project stakeholders. New theoretical proposals and case studies are welcome.
