Mendelow's matrix is used to analyze what?

• A. A framework for tax planning
• B. A way of analysing stakeholder interest and power and how to approach them with strategies
• C. A method for project scheduling
• D. A model of consumer behavior

Answer: (B)

Mendelow's matrix analyzes stakeholders by their level of interest in a project and their power to influence its outcome, guiding how to engage them with targeted strategies. By placing stakeholders on a four-quadrant grid, you can identify who to manage closely (high power, high interest), who to keep satisfied (high power, low interest), who to keep informed (low power, high interest), and who to monitor (low power, low interest). This helps allocate attention and resources to stakeholder relationships. It is not a framework for tax planning, project scheduling, or consumer behavior.
