CASE ASSIGNMENT 2

Suburban Homes realizes the importance of maintaining excellent relations with all its key stakeholders. Among the stakeholders are clients who purchase homes, local law enforcement agencies, potential buyers, county and state agencies for real estate development, environmental regulatory agencies, both local and federal, community leaders, contractors, subcontractors, local construction material sup- pliers, and the list goes on.

Suburban Homes decided to build a new community of 120 homes in a suburb of Atlanta. It has acquired 15 acres of land for this purpose. It also has submitted a preliminary plan to the local county government for approval.

Suburban Homes is thinking of hiring a consultant for developing a stakeholder management plan and communication plan. For its stakeholder management plan, they would like to identify all the stakeholders and develop a stakeholder register. Further, it is considering selection of at least six key stakeholders for a detailed analysis of a prioritization matrix, as shown Exhibit 6.2, and to develop a stake- holder matrix, as shown in Exhibit 6.4.

As a consultant to Suburban Homes, you are asked to develop a stakeholder engagement plan (Exhibit 6.5) and a comprehensive stakeholder management plan after developing the stakeholder prioritization matrix and stakeholder matrix, as shown in Exhibits 6.2 and 6.4, respectively.

Using the stakeholder management plan, the company has also requested you to develop a communication plan that makes use of Exhibits 6.8 and 6.9.
