TY - Generic T1 - How Stakeholder Analysis can be Mobilized with Actor-Network Theory to Identify Actors Y1 - 2004 A1 - Pouloudi, A. A1 - Gandecha, R. A1 - Atkinson, C. A1 - Papazafeiropoulou, A. AB - Actor-network theory studies provide detailed accounts of how human and nonhuman actors gradually form stable actor networks. However, due to their focus on a particular context, there is little generic guidance on how such relevant actors can be identified when a different research context is under study. The principles of (human) stakeholder behavior presented in this paper guide the identification of human stakeholders through an iterative, interpretive, dynamic and context-contingent process. We show how they can be adopted and extended to include the identification of nonhuman actants as well. Thus, we argue that they can be instrumental in providing a generic, context-free guidance to stakeholder identification that is currently missing from ANT studies.
