Summary of stakeholder analysis framework mapping frameworks.

Model/Analytical Framework	Summary features
The Power Versus Interest Grid	The goal is to map stakeholder importance, influence, interest and yield. Maps power on one axis and interest in the other to identify the facilitators, sideliners, beneficiaries, and key for business stakeholders
The Onion Model	Identifies the primary, secondary and contextual stakeholders ranging from the core team, to the external stakeholders
The ‘9C’ stakeholder analysis	Identifies all organizational stakeholders: the champions, contributors, commissioners, customers, collaborators, commentators, consumers, channels and competitors
Advocacy coalition framework (ACF)	Explains stakeholder behavior and policy outcomes over long periods of time by focusing on the interaction of advocacy coalitions-each consisting of actors/stakeholders from a variety of institutions-within a policy subsystem.
Elster’s framework	Identifies relevant actors and categorizes them by their roles, identifies their concerns, and their potential leverages in a decision-making process.
The force field analysis	Maps out the project progress identifying any forces that might be of influence e.g. the reactions, restraining forces, and difficulties. Identifies the stakeholder who might be driving or constraining the project
The Salience stakeholder model	The goal is to define the most important stakeholder by mapping stakeholders according to their power, urgency and legitimacy (Table 2)
