A project approach is used to address issues of improving educational processes. Implementation of educational innovative research projects is effective with the participation of a large number of stakeholders. Stakeholders include representatives of the state, business and community. The formation of common values, which are focused on quality education, for all groups of stakeholders will help to effectively implement educational innovative research projects. To do this, you need to create an appropriate communication model. Project communications consist of the processes of timely collection, dissemination, storage, receipt and use of information. One of the responsibilities of the project manager is to create a kind of intellectual space for the project stakeholders to discuss common tasks, goals and areas of interest. The purpose of communications management is to meet communication needs of project participants and solve communication problems in case of their occurrence. The success of a project depends on how different project team members and stakeholders interact with each other. With this end in view, a model of the relationship between stakeholders in educational projects was created; this model makes it possible to manage different types of communication (formal and informal). The results of the study were used to manage communications in the implementation of educational innovative research projects at National Transport University (NTU) while carrying out the international TEMPUS project ‘Fostering the Knowledge Triangle in Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova’. The results of the project show that the efficiency of communications between NTU and international partners is 0.5 - 1.0, which indicates that the result of the educational innovative research project is good after the communication process.
Thus, the developed model of communications management in educational innovative research projects allows determining the set of input and output parameters, constraints, control and uncontrolled variables in communication processes and is the basis for the management of formal and informal communication.

With the projects realized in any organization and the processes to carry them out, that consider the management of the integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communications, risk, procurement and stakeholder, it is possible to generate new organizational knowledge and take advantage of that already exists. In the particular case of universities, where different kinds of projects are constantly realized, with results that extend beyond these institutions in a way that impacts society in general, using appropriate tools and methodologies for project management is essential as it contributes to maintaining the necessary scientific rigor, even more so when the linked processes can be considered as fundamental factors for knowledge management in the dimensions of: people, processes, content and information and communication technologies. Thus and so, a descriptive research was realized with a non-experimental design, that had as general objective to determine the knowledge management carried out by the professors of the Technology of Services Department of the Simon Bolivar University Litoral Campus, of the State of La Guaira in Venezuela, for which the processes and areas of knowledge were considered for the management of the research projects done it, and it was diagnosed through a self-evaluation how professors managed their projects to then relate the information obtained to the factors that promote knowledge management.KeywordsKnowledge management, project management, processes, knowledge areas, university projects.

Abstract The level of technical knowledge and skills of project managers shows a high differentiation, which has an impact on the management of (non)investment projects in the given region, regardless of the sector area such as agriculture, entrepreneurship or services. This paper aims to confirm that the level of technical knowledge and skills of project managers is highly differentiated in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic and to identify the knowledge areas that are affected by the ignorance in this region the most. The research has shown that the management knowledge areas most affected by ignorance in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic are namely Scope management, Quality management and Communication management. These findings show a high level of differentiation in the knowledge and skills of project managers on the regional level, having direct impact on public and private projects in the given region. Due to this issue, there should be established certain standards for project management, which can be demanded by central authorities.

If a project is to be successfully completed, both planning and execution must be properly implemented. Poor planning will not allow appropriate execution and control processes or achievement of the project's targets. The objective of the study reported in this paper is to evaluate the impact of the project manager on the quality of project planning processes within the nine knowledge areas defined by A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and to determine ways of increasing the effectiveness of the manager's intervention. Participants in the study evaluated their use of the 21 processes that relate to planning, out of the 39 processes required for proper project management. The results of the study reveal risk management and communications as the processes with the lowest planning quality. Poor quality in these areas results when project managers lack the formal tools and techniques for dealing with communications and the functional managers are not equipped with the tools and techniques that will allow them to effectively contribute to the risk management process. Improving quality planning processes requires the development of new tools in areas such as communications, as well as organizational training programs designed for the functional managers.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most-recognized circular economy frameworks is the Cradle-to-Cradle design philosophy. However, integrating circularity in business practices impacts all organizational activities and not just the design of products and services. One of the business processes that needs to integrate sustainability is project management. The study reported in this article explores the integration of the Cradle-to-Cradle philosophy into project management practices. Based on a single in-depth case study, the integration of Cradle-to-Cradle into the knowledge areas of project management within a company that is widely recognized and praised for its commitment to sustainability and its compliance with Cradle-to-Cradle, was explored. The study revealed as most impacted knowledge areas: resource, integration, quality, communications, and stakeholder management. By identifying these areas, the study contributes to the emerging body of knowledge on sustainable project management and provides a better understanding of practical implications for companies striving to become sustainable.

Full textAbstract:
Project management is a mix of both science and art. It is a science because project managers need to estimate and manage time and cost. It is an art because they should ensure that all team members are in sync, while stakeholders are efficiently projecting the point across without communication gaps. It has been long recognised that developing nontechnical (i.e. ‘soft’) skills of project managers and team members plays a critical role in the success of any project regardless of industry. Such skills reflect the leadership skills of project managers, which typically fall under the knowledge areas of project resource management, project communications management and project stakeholder management. Even though there are many strategies for improving soft skills in a project team, the challenges in implementing these strategies are not often discussed. Recognition of the significance of these aspects is not novel, yet most project management studies are focused on the technical (i.e. ‘hard’) skills of project management. This teaching case aims to bridge this gap by inviting students to reflect on how soft skills can make a difference throughout the project lifecycle. The case is about a mobile telecommunication network upgrade project in New Zealand. Despite being completed on time, on budget and at the agreed scope, the project was never implemented due to the acquisition of the client by a larger telecommunications company, which had other strategic priorities. The focus of the teaching case is on leadership skills and communication management in projects.

Full textAbstract:
Project teams often fight to find a balance between the triple restrictions of money, scope, and schedule to deliver excellent products or services. The dual goal of realising benefits and satisfying the needs of stakeholders drives this conflict. It is possible that the climate and pace of the project will not be able to keep up with the increased demand for the deliverables, which will lead to burnout among project members and possibly attrition for the team. In this work, we analyse the factors that lead to project settings that are not sustainable and provide solutions to address the problem. The reading of 28 pieces of literature relating to project management in the information technology (IT), construction, energy, and health sectors is required to accomplish this goal. The results of the review are tabulated and mapped to the process groups and knowledge areas outlined in the 6th edition of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). This is done based on the Project Management Institute (PMI). According to the findings, increasing focus on the Project Resource Management knowledge area, which interacts with the Planning and Executing process groups, is necessary for the development of an environment that is environmentally sustainable. Plan resource management, develop teams, and manage teams are three processes that are included in these categories and fall under the category of being particularly significant. The next most important area of expertise is project communication management, which is followed by project schedule management.

Full textAbstract:
The role and place of inspiring intuition and creativity in the management of IT projects and development programs of organizations are considered. A conceptual model of the interaction of inspiring intuition and creativity in the processes of IT project management is presented. The influence of inspiring intuition and creativity on the life cycle of innovative projects for the development of knowledge and management technologies is determined. With the help of intuition, IT project managers can anticipate new products, management processes, business areas and development. Such promising actions usually cannot be planned purely rationally, but require an “intuitive feeling.” Vision and imagination open up opportunities for action beyond the paths. This is “inspiring intuition”. This inspiring dimension of intuition has a long-lasting, holistic and gradual effect. The key competencies and strategic priorities of the organization for the implementation of the strategy of sustainable development are considered. In the process of research, two models of sustainable development based on the use of innovative projects and programs were selected. The first model, the Strategic Sustainable Development Framework (FSSD), defines three levels of creative competencies - linear, literal, and holistic. Within the framework of this model, the qualitative influences of individual competencies on the formation of inspiring intuition are determined by example. The second model is related to the application of the system of knowledge and competencies for the management of IT projects and P2M programs. Within this model, priority competencies have been identified that shape the inspiring intuition of project managers. Within the framework of the evaluations, a matrix of qualitative influences on inspiring competence in the processes of implementation of innovative projects and programs was built.

Information technology has been considered as a vital tool for modern organizations to support their knowledge management projects. Previous studies have found that success knowledge management projects were supported by various information technology infrastructures. They addressed how information technology has succesfully implemented to support knowledge management project within conventional banks. However, limited study has been proposed regarding how information technology play roles in support knowledge management project within Islamic banks. Through the case study approach, the author studied the use of information technology for knowledge management process within two Bank Syariah (Bank Mandiri and Bank BNI Syariah) in Palu Central Sulawesi. The author collected data through observation, written material, and in-depth interviews with key informants from both banks. The findings show that information technology infrastructures have played important roles in support knowledge management projects within the Islamic banks. Those information technology infrastructures includes internet, intranet, websites, communication application such as email, and social media. This study sheds light and provides new insight on how information technology has succesfully used to support knowledge management within Islamic banks. The results benefits both academic and practioners in Islamic banks and knowledge managemet area. As the social media was an important finding for knowledge management in Islamic banks, future research need to focus on how social media should be used for knowledge management projects in Islamic banks

Full textAbstract:
The article outlines advantages of applying a comprehensive approach to training specialists in the area of engineering education. Modern approaches to project management in production are analyzed, using the known experience of the European countries and the world. The basic tools of project management that are applied at all stages of implementation of engineering projects are described. Based on the analysis of known project management techniques, it has been established that effective engineering project management is possible by way of involving future professionals in the stages from developing the project idea, goals and objectives to obtaining the desired results and achieving the set goals. It is important to motivate students to think critically and encourage teamwork on a project. In the present article, the authors suggest to consider the process of training specialists in civil and industrial engineering through the prism of the next four phases of the project. The first phase is to prepare the project with elements of structuring. It addresses the issues of the project goals, tasks and results, risk management, project documentation, budgeting, formation and management of the project team. The second phase is project management, which includes drafting a project structural plan (PSP) and work packages, scheduling task completion, resources and costs planning, cost estimation, and time management tools. The third phase is the implementation of the project with control and monitoring. Here, future specialists are working on issues of the project control, financial monitoring, monitoring of resources, communication and interaction between teams, conflict management, change management and keeping necessary documentation. Completion of the project is the fourth stage, which is an integral element of project management. It provides for financial and analytical reporting, documentation for retention of experience, knowledge management, certification and feedback to the project team. Based on teaching practice and considerable practical experience in industry, the authors found out that the process of pedagogical training of future competitive specialists in various areas of civil and industrial engineering should be accompanied by practical and theoretical materials on modern tools for a holistic and integrated approach to project management. At the same time, taking account of the dynamics of political and economic changes in Ukraine and integration with international standards, it is necessary to take a skilled approach to the issue of production change management in the project activity. The global experience reveals that only truly successful organizations anticipate and initiate changes. Thus, the organizations themselves, their goals, objectives and tools are undergoing changes. And the issue of change management itself is the subject for further research by the authors.

In an age of increasing project complexity and inter-industry collaboration, successful stakeholder management has emerged as a pivotal aspect of project management, ensuring that projects achieve their objectives and gain acceptance and support from all involved entities. This review article delves into the multifaceted realm of stakeholder management, focusing on its benefits in cross-industry projects – a relatively new and increasingly relevant area of study. Through a comprehensive analysis of recent studies, we elucidate the tangible and intangible advantages that effective stakeholder management brings to projects that span multiple industries. Key findings indicate that adept management of stakeholders leads to enhanced communication, reduced risks, optimal resource utilization, and project success. Furthermore, in cross-industry projects, it fosters innovation, drives alignment of industry-specific objectives, and facilitates knowledge sharing, thus yielding competitive advantages for all involved parties. This article aims to guide practitioners and researchers alike in understanding the pivotal role of stakeholder management in modern, inter-industry projects, highlighting its significance as a cornerstone for achieving synergistic project outcomes.

One of the vital elements that decide about a success, or a failure of a project is adjusting its offer to the requirements of the beneficiaries. Various methods and tools are used in this respect to make the project’s offer consistent with these requirements and guarantee that they are satisfied. One of the methods used in this area is application of user personas. The idea is extensively used in the field of computer-human interactions, as it allows to improve user experience as well as the whole communication in the process of developing IT systems. However, the use of personas is not limited only to designing computer-based systems and solutions. The concept of personas has been also exploited in the Ecolabnet project, financed by Interreg, and implemented in six partner countries in the years 2019-2021. The process of knowledge management in the project assumed gathering the knowledge on its future beneficiaries - manufacturing SMEs from the Baltic Sea Region – and adjusting the offer of the project consortium (RDIs and Intermediary Organisations) to the signalled needs of these enterprises. To facilitate the management of knowledge on the enterprises investigated in the project the concept of persons was used. The underlying objective of the paper is to present the process of transforming the knowledge on project participants into the concept of personas. It consists of two parts. The first part, the theoretical one includes the results of a literature review that provides essential knowledge on utilising the concept of personas in design and management processes. The second part, the empirical one, is based on the empirical research that was conducted at the initial stage of the project. The answers provided in the survey questionnaire allowed for identification of primary needs and barriers in the area of eco-innovations development. This knowledge has led to determining main personas of the project. The analysis of the process of mapping the project users’ needs and objective is supposed to answer the following research question: Does the application of personas concept in service design positively contributes to management of knowledge in international projects?

PurposeManagerial shortfalls can considerably undermine the delivery performance of construction projects. This paper appraises the project management essentials (PMEs) for successful construction project delivery.Design/methodology/approachFollowing a detailed literature review, a questionnaire survey was developed encompassing 20 PMEs that were identified. An opinion questionnaire survey was used to facilitate data collection from key construction stakeholders in the Malaysian construction industry. The survey data were subjected to descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis.FindingsFindings indicated that the leading PMEs are competency of the project team, competency of project manager, good leadership, effective planning and control and realistic cost and time estimate. Spearman’s rank correlation tests affirmed a good agreement on the ranking of PMEs across stakeholder groups. The present study found that PMEs for construction have a total of four dimensions, namely: scope, communication and competence management; stakeholder commitment and collaborative engagement; construction time–cost planning and control; and environment, health, safety and quality management.Practical implicationsThe findings could potentially contribute to the development of appropriate project management best practices to address managerial shortfalls in Malaysia and other developing countries.Originality/valueThis paper bridges the identified knowledge gap about critical managerial dimensions for successful project management in construction. The present study adds to the existing body of knowledge around this under-explored area in the construction management literature.

Full textAbstract:
The web 2.0 is transforming the project management in organizations by improving communication and collaboration. The new generation of web-based collaborative tools provides much better experience than the traditional software package allowing document sharing, integrated task tracking, enforcing team processes and agile planning. Despite of the indubitable benefits brought by web 2.0, the use of these technologies to promote knowledge management remains unexplored. For many project managers to obtain and integrate information from different tools of previous similar projects in global organizations remains a challenge. This theoretical paper presents a proposal that suggests an innovation in the knowledge management area applying web 2.0 technologies. The main goal is to provide an integrated vision of a set of technologies that could be used by organizations in order to promote better management of lessons learned. The proposal includes the lessons learned processes (e.g. capture, share and dissemination), the process-based (e.g. project review and after action review) and documentation-based (e.g. micro article and learning histories) methods. Results show how web 2.0 technologies can help project managers and team project to cope with the main lessons learned processes and methods to learn from experience. Moreover, recommendations are made for the effective use of web 2.0 components promoting innovation and supporting lessons learned management in projects.Keywords: Project management; Lessons learned processes; lessons learned methods; project learning; web 2.0 technologies; innovation.

The article analyzes the project activities of utility companies in Khmelnitsky in the following areas: Strategic plan for the development of utilities for 2018 – 2021 and its implementation, Investment program of utilities for 2018 – 2021 and its implementation, planned involvement of enterprises in activities / projects in 2021 – 2025 according to the Strategy of development of the city of Khmelnitsky for 2021-2025 and the Strategic plan of development of the Khmelnitsky city territorial community for 2021-2025. Problems in the implementation of project activities were identified and the reasons for non-implementation of the Strategic Development Plans of utility companies were identified. One of the most important is the need to attract and train staff, which should be consistent with the overall strategy of enterprise development. Improving the efficiency of utilities requires significant changes in business process management. In order to manage the effectiveness of business processes it is necessary to develop staff competence, staff incentives, the formation of an effective team. It is also necessary to manage communications, information and maintain customer orientation of enterprises. These problematic aspects can be solved by implementing a knowledge management system of a project-oriented enterprise. This system should contain a set of economic and mathematical models of knowledge management of operational and design activities of the enterprise. As a result of successful project implementation, the level of knowledge of project team members increases and the level of organizational knowledge of the enterprise increases, which leads to increased competitive advantages of enterprises and strengthens its position in the market of works and services. Keywords: project, project activity, utility company, knowledge management.

When the systems analysis phase produces faulty requirements, it can often be traced to the failure of the requirements determination team and the client to communicate effectively. This failure is frequently a consequence of inadequate knowledge of the client’s domain possessed by the development team. This paper presents concepts and procedures designed to facilitate communication between requirements determination teams and clients across a full set of IS projects with potentially differing priorities. A systematic framework for staffing requirements determination teams is provided. The importance and interdependence of two types of knowledge, explicit and tacit, to the success of the requirements determination phase is extensively explored. A metric for explicit knowledge coupled with a model that captures the impact of various levels of tacit knowledge upon the acquisition rate of explicit knowledge serve as key inputs to our Project Staffing Model. The appropriately weighted area under an explicit knowledge curve captures the totality of explicit knowledge. Summing such values, weighted to reflect project importance, provides a mechanism for evaluating alternative staffing assignments. An illustrative case highlights implementation issues and suggests procedures when uncertainty exists concerning key inputs. A research agenda is recommended for the estimation of factors required by the analysis.

The paper is devoted to the issues of innovative projects strategic management for the enterprises development, which is due to the acceleration of changes affecting the implementation of enterprises economic activities. Conducted a study of theoretical, methodological and applied aspects of enterprise development strategic management to determine the possibilities of improvement and development in modern conditions of the economic activities implementation. The necessity, importance and expediency of the strategic management formation in the enterprise management system are indicated and substantiated. The most common, basic strategies for enterprise development are considered, including strategies for concentrated growth, integrated growth, diversified growth, and reduction. The stages of enterprise development strategic management are determined, among which one of the main is the stage of strategic analysis. The specifics of the enterprises economic activities have been clarified, including the spread of project management methodology, changes caused by Industry 4.0, the COVID-19 pandemic, climate transformations, and others. A conceptual diagram of the «Star» project management model has been formed, which indicates the areas of knowledge in project management, including integration management, risk management, communications management, stakeholder management and others. The model also assumes taking into account both traditional restrictions in the project implementation, namely, compliance with the requirements for quality, project cost and time of its implementation, and new ones, including ensuring profitability, environmental friendliness and social significance. The conceptual scheme provides for further improvement of the project management model by the possibility of expanding the range of components through the addition of new elements. The use of the conceptual scheme of the project management model as a basis for the methodological foundations development for the strategic management of innovative enterprise development projects is proposed. Changes in the strategic management concept of enterprise development are considered. The general project management concept as a basic for strategic management of enterprise development is defined.

Full textAbstract:
Although the development and the implementation of Renewable Energy (RE) solutions are crucial for the transformation of countries towards sustainability, Project Management (PM) may help companies to introduce these solutions, although no study analyzes and synthetizes previous research on the interplay between PM and RE. The article aims to fill this gap by presenting an analysis of publications that address the analyzed issue and are indexed in the Scopus database. The article utilizes bibliometric analysis, network analyses, and in-depth qualitative studies published before 2023. The first method examines research productivity in the context of authors, institutions, and designations. The second method examines the authors’ and keywords’ networks. The third is more comprehensive and focuses on contributions to both project management and the technological domain provided by articles, which constitute H (Hirsch)-Core in this research field. Based on the bibliometric analysis, it can be concluded that the scientific structure of the “project management–renewable energy” (PM-RE) field consists of 335 documents, which were published, in total, by 672 authors and in 135 journals. There are four keyword clusters, with blurred boundaries between them. In the PM area, organizational issues, focusing on project effectiveness, cooperation with stakeholders, and project evaluation methods were discussed. In the RE area, the main focus was on wind energy, technological issues, and the implementation of technologies in the end-to-end communication architecture for smart grids, photovoltaic systems, biomass projects, or the exploitation of geothermal resources. The article directly indicates the areas that should be addressed in future research. This study is the first literature review that explores the PM–RE research field. It provides knowledge that can be the subject of improving technologies and project management issues in the energy industry.

Full textAbstract:
The Telecommunications Engineering degree contains the study and understanding of a wide range of knowledge areas, like signal theory and communications, computer networks, and radio propagation. This diversity makes it hard for students to integrate different concepts, which is essential to tackle real and practical problems that involve different subjects. As a response to this need of integration, a group of professors at Rey Juan Carlos University carried out an educational project based on Problem Based Learning (PBL), called the Wireles4x4 Project. In this project, groups of students build a complete system to autonomously drive a radio controlled car, involving different technologies such as wireless communications, positioning systems, power management, and system integration. The results show that the participating students improve not only their specific knowledge on the involved issues, but also their capability of integrating different subjects of the degree and the skills for autonomous learning.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to understand the role of communication and building positive relations in the NGO project team and to answer the following questions: (1) what factors and behaviors influence positive relations in the NGO project team? and (2) to what extent direct and indirect communication affect the efficiency of information flow? Design/methodology/approach: The authors conducted a case study in a selected project team operating in a non-governmental organization in Poland. Findings: The results of the study allow one to better understand the specific challenges the selected NGO project team was facing. Thus, they add new knowledge to the issues on effective communication and building positive relationships in NGO project teams. Moreover, the case study outcomes set the guidelines for further in-depth studies of a quantitative nature. Research limitations/implications: Being aware of the limitations resulting from the deliberate selection of the project team for the study, an analysis of the answers obtained was undertaken, the results of which allow one to present the issues of communication and building positive relationships within project teams in non-governmental organizations. In order to make generalizations, further in-depth research in this area should be carried out. Practical implications: In non-governmental organizations, authorities and project managers should increase their competences in the field of effective communication and building positive relationships in project teams in order to successfully implement projects. Social implications: Knowledge of the methods of effective communication and building positive relationships in project teams allows to increase awareness among members of non- governmental organizations of how the ways of working and team involvement affect the success of projects. Originality/value: A case study was conducted in a selected project team operating in an NGO on the importance of communication and building positive relationships. The article is addressed to people involved in NGO project management research and to third-sector entities.

Full textAbstract:
The modulation coding scheme (MCS) index is the essential configuration parameter in cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication. As referenced by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the MCS index will dictate the transport block size (TBS) index, which will affect the size of transport blocks and the number of physical resource blocks. These numbers are crucial in the C-V2X resource management since it is also bound to the transmission power used in the system. To the authors’ knowledge, this particular area of research has not been previously investigated. Ultimately, this research establishes the fundamental principles for future studies seeking to use the MCS adaptability in many contexts. In this work, we proposed the application of the reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm, as we used the Q-learning approach to adaptively change the MCS index according to the current environmental states. The simulation results showed that our proposed RL approach outperformed the static MCS index and was able to attain stability in a short number of events.

Journal of Cultural Heritage Management and Sustainable Development 4, no. 2 (November 17, 2014): 149–65. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/jchmsd-12-2012-0068.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to introduce and develop a knowledge base for the restoration industry to understand and deal with risks arising in restoration projects in a sustainable way. Restoration projects face a number of risks and are viewed unfavorably. The research study, therefore, is expected to generate interest and debate among the professional and researcher community in the arena of restoration of built cultural heritage for formally applying Project Management (PM) and Project Risk management (PRM) theories and practices. Design/methodology/approach – The research method consists of reviewing published literature and analyzing the dynamics of restoration industry (both from academic and practitioner point of view) in order to propose an application framework. Building upon and taking inspiration from the fundamentals of Construction Management, the proposed framework aims at methodically applying risk management within the proposed PM stages. Findings – Research results confirm that the restoration industry has not yet exposed to formal PM and PRM theories and practices to a greater level. The restoration projects are not necessarily so sustainable in their approach. Thus, there is enormous impetus and ensuing incentive for incorporating the formal theories and customized tools. Research limitations/implications – This research attempts to target the exceedingly important area of cultural heritage restoration and the missing aspect of PM and PRM. Further, the proposed framework is an attempt at bridging communication gaps between management and restoration experts. Thus, it highlights the importance of scientifically and effectively managing restoration projects. Nevertheless, this uniting attempt has its own risks in terms of terminologies, technical language, and the understanding of risk and its management which may be the effective limitations. Since in the field of engineering as well, the foundation of PM and PRM areas of knowledge finds its traces in Construction Management – which is further an application of management in construction engineering – therefore, it is rather challenging to reconcile knowledge from different areas. Practical implications – The paper explores issues concerning sustainability of restoration projects based on their use of PM and PRM. Results are expected to help stakeholders of restoration projects understand and apply the proposed PRM framework. This study is also aimed to develop a foundation for dissemination of PM and PRM knowledge in the restoration industry, and provide an impetus for future studies to examine how restoration projects can deal with risky situations. Social implications – The paper explores the sustainable development aspects of restoration projects in order to help stakeholders of built cultural heritage make critical decisions because if not managed properly, risks in a restoration project may either cause project failure or damage the historical buildings. Therefore, from a sustainable perspective, it is imperative that stakeholders identify, analyze, control and manage risks before commencing the restoration activities. Originality/value – The study is an original effort in examining the penetration of PM and PRM practices in restoration industry. Based on it, the study proposes an original framework for application of formal PRM for restoration projects. Results are of relevance in today's world where risks hinder and sustainability guides the decision making.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the nature and content of project activity as an object of scientific research. It is determined that the project management toolkit provides opportunities for ensuring the efficiency of public administration and the need for its decentralization, facilitating business development by improving the provision of public services, while reducing their cost and complexity. The essence of the concept of project management has been investigated and the relationship of projects with the activities of public authorities, the government, which can be traced through the implementation of programs at the state level or measures to fulfill the commitments undertaken by local authorities, has been identified. Attention is drawn to the fact that the project activity of public authorities has a number of features, among which the key are its regulation (time constraint), compliance with community requests, focus on territorial unit development and openness. The author also suggested a scheme of project activity and considered all components of this process. Particular attention is paid to the factors that improve the effectiveness of project implementation: the knowledge component - human capital, process monitoring, sources of funding and communications. The article also presents the author's classification of the project activity of public authorities, depending on the goals, the main types of project activity were separated: social orientation (solving problems of overcoming poverty, preserving the health of the population, observing human rights, ensuring the well-being and safety of children, etc.); infrastructural character (development of public transport network, improvement of public services, improvement of logistics on roads, location and number of pre-school educational institutions, etc.); environmental orientation (environmental protection, conservation of reserves, construction of treatment plants and introduction of the best treatment technologies, development of secondary production, etc.); investment nature (development of recreation and tourism areas, the spread of digital technologies in public services (SMART technologies), implementation of joint projects with business companies within the framework of corporate social responsibility programs and public-private partnerships, etc.). Keywords: project activity, public authorities, human capital, communications, monitoring.

Full textAbstract:
Software development processes are highly creative, and therefore prone to change frequently. Also, recent developments show that most software projects require knowledge and skills in a lot of areas. Since the necessary expertise often cannot be found at one development site, the necessity arises to distribute projects among several sites, or form "virtual" corporations, where software development is shared between several companies. The first point makes it necessary to support changes by identifying and notifying the people affected by a change. The second point emphasizes this necessity, while also complicating project planning and management: changes in one development site or company might necessitate replanning in several locations. In this paper, we introduce the MILOS approach, which provides concepts to integrate process modeling, planning, scheduling and enactment in one system. Thus dynamic plan changes, as well as automated feedback from execution to the project plan can be supported.

Knowledge-based economy and globalization have led to changes in organizational structure (e.g. decentralization, project and matrix teams, flatter structure) and the rise of a multicultural, diverse workforce. As such, organizations are reevaluating their strategies, and one of the trends is to adopt organizational culture as a knowledge-management tool. The purpose of this paper is to lay down a persuasive communication-based model for cultivating a synergetic, multicultural work environment that allows for knowledge sharing and transfer. This model can be broken down into three components: (1) cultivation of a well-defined organizational culture; (2) development of cross-cultural skills and flexibilities; and (3) establishment of a cross-cultural mediation process. It highlights some issues and areas for consideration during assessment, planning (such as message, spokesperson, measurable objectives), implementation, and evaluation

Full textAbstract:
This article describes a Swedish case study with a focus on how to enhance journalists’ professional autonomy, local news coverage and local democracy with the help of an automated search tool. The aim was to involve journalists in the development project using the theory of participatory action research and tailor a search tool to their specific needs to search for news stories in documents from municipalities. We conclude that user-centred design is a viable methodology when developing a new tool, but not necessarily when it comes to implementing the tool in journalists’ everyday practice, as the implementation is dependent on other factors connected to management and organizational structures. It became clear that the journalists were optimistic about the automated search tool as long as it made their work more efficient in terms of time and money and offered better possibilities for independent news discovery. We also noticed that some of the journalists’ professional knowledge about a certain geographical area or municipality became subordinate to the knowledge of how to best use available search tools.

Full textAbstract:
The quality of implementation of social programs and projects is a measure of the effectiveness of social policy. Ideally, a social project can be implemented if absolutely everyone is interested: both the participants and those to whom the project affects in one way or another. All stakeholders are members of the value chain and add value to the program to one degree or another. The general purpose of the research work is to substantiate the mechanisms for reconciling the interests of stakeholders and study effective models of social entrepreneurship. Practice proves that the most rational among the known methods of risk management is the stakeholder approach. The main risks in the perception of the quality of social project implementation are “gaps”: a) in knowledge – project implementers misunderstanding of the customer expectations; b) in standards – the inability to set quality standards that meet customer expectations; c) in the effect of implementation – the inability to ensure the quality of project implementation in relation to established standards; e) in communications – the inconsistency of the transmitted information about the quality of the project to the actual level. All these risks are closely linked. Research shows that the greatest risks in the implementation of social projects occur among the “gaps” in standards. Distinctive features of the management process of social programs and projects, which have to be taken into account during the management standards development, are presented in the work of V.M. Burkov. The basis of the formation of the interests harmonization mechanism is the “Stakeholder Interaction Standard AA1000” (Standard AA1000SES), which sets out the basic methods, tools and standards of stakeholders management. The technology of developing of the social project road map is presented in the work of O.V. Ponomarenko. The works of O.I. Datsko are devoted to the study of the role of stakeholders in the view of the projects development with the aim to increase the territories competitiveness. The process of urban development strategy is researched by A.I. Yermolova. Summarizing the above, it should be noted that one of the defining areas of socialization of economic relations in modern Ukraine is the development of social entrepreneurship. Today’s economic, political and social realities necessitate the development of social entrepreneurship from the level of charity to the level of social enterprises, which will not only become a source of material needs for people unable to compete in the labor market, but also help to solve various pressing social problems. The formation of social enterprises should be ensured by a set of legal, economic and ideological guarantees from the state and society. The evolution of social entrepreneurship should be accompanied by the solution of both global (for example, the formation of public consciousness) and applied (for example, for the sustainable social entrepreneurship development it is required to use effective business models) tasks. The method of CBA involves determining the discount rate for social projects, which can be calculated by the model for the assessment of the social border of intertemporal benefits. The following statistical indicators can be used for calculation: the risk to life level, the growth rate of consumption per capita, the elasticity of the marginal social utility of consumption. The calculation uses the arithmetic mean values of these indicators for as long as possible.

Purpose: This study examines the possible relationship between leadership competency and project performance within an Indonesia project-based organization setting. Four mediating variables are considered in the analysis: industry type, project complexity, project strategic value, and contract type.Design/methodology/approach: A cross-sectional quantitative survey was administered to empirically evaluate the theoretical model. The targeted population was projected in Indonesia, and a snowball sampling method was utilized. Out of 183 respondents, 81 responded to the invitation, which accounts for a 44.2% response rate.Findings: It was found that the leadership profiles of more and less successful project managers differ, which suggests a positive association between competency and performance. More importantly, the evidence suggests that both industry type and complexity moderate the relationship. The different patterns of leadership profiles for successful managers in three types of industries—const ruction, information and communication technology (ICT), and consultancy—and under different project complexity levels were observed. No substantial evidence was observed for the moderating effects of “project strategic value” and “contract type.” It was also found that across contexts, three attributes of leadership differently influence performance in the following order of importance: IQ, MQ, and EQ. Generally, the results agree with the findings of past similar studies in different countries. However, some variations were found at a more detailed level, which may be due to cultural differences.Research limitations/implications: The study further extends the existing body of knowledge on project leadership, as it provides a new understanding on leadership profile and its efficacy within different contexts of project-based organizations in Indonesia—a case of a developing countryPractical implications: It exposes project practitioners to different leadership profiles that lead to successful and unsuccessful projects within different settings.Originality/value: This study provides an original work (theoretical and empirical) on a leadership area of project management within a specific context of a developing country.

This descriptive cross-sectional study was undertaken to assess the knowledge of mothers in urban and rural areas about new born danger signs. It included 200 mothers of infants (100 from urban and 100 from rural area), from the Paediatrics OPD and Paediatrics and Maternity Wards, of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, and the Comprehensive Rural Health Services Project (CRHSP), Ballabgarh. The data was collected using self-developed and semi structured interview schedule. The mean knowledge score of mothers regarding newborn danger signs was 39.3 percent. The urban mothers had a mean score of 44.7 percent (graded as average) as compared to rural mothers whose mean knowledge score was 32.94 percent (graded as poor). The urban mothers had significantly better knowledge as compared to rural mothers regarding newborn danger signs. Majority of mothers could state at least one symptom of hyperthermia 191 (95.5%), severe jaundice 162 (81%), lethargy150 (75%), respiratory distress 127 (63.5%), and hypothermia 103 (51.5%). Majority of mothers responded that if danger signs are observed in newborns then immediate medical consultation would be necessary. In rural area majority of mothers did not identify hypothermia (64%), convulsions (85%), skin pustules (65%), respiratory distress (54%) and severe dehydration (85%) as danger sign in newborns. The study showed that mothers had inadequate knowledge regarding newborn danger signs and their management. Educational interventions for mothers are needed to make them aware of the newborn danger signs and the need to seek care by qualified health providers for treatment.

Globally, information and communication systems (ICS) are presently impacting every aspect of human activities, given its silent roles in business, learning, entertainment, construction, etc. The technologies have been widely accepted by housing construction industry stakeholders as an impetus for the delivery of adequate housing both in rural and urban neighbourhoods. Though there abound shreds of evidence that ICS play significant roles in the development of all sectors, it remains unidentified how the housing sector in Nigeria is exploiting ICS in its housing delivery processes. This study investigates the roles ICS play in the delivery of adequate housing. It also examines the influence of ICS on adequate housing delivery. The study employs a quantitative research approach using Delphi and survey questionnaire approaches to address the research objectives. A Delphi study was used to determine the influence of the identified elements on the overall adequacy of housing delivery, and the retrieved data were analysed using frequency tables and weighted mean scores. The study reveals that housing construction workers (HCWs) in the study area lack adequate knowledge of the systems; hence, the study recommends that adequate training on ICS usage should be given to HCWs for greater efficiency.

AbstractThis contribution focuses on a dialogue model using an intelligent working memory that aims at facilitating a robust human-machine dialogue in written natural language. The model has been designed as the core of an information seeking dialogue application. The particularity of this project is to rely on the potent interpretation and behaviour capabilities of pragmatic knowledge. Within this framework, the designed dialogue model appears as a kind of ‘forum’ for various facets, impersonated by different models extracted from both intentional and structural approaches of conversation. The approach is based on assuming that multiple expertise is the key to flexibility and robustness. Also, an intelligent memory that keeps track of all events and links them together from as many angles as necessary is crucial for multiple expertise management. This idea is developed by presenting an intelligent dialogue history which is able to complement the wide coverage of the co-operating models. It is no longer a simple chronological record, but a communication area, common to all processes. We illustrate our topic through examples brought out from collected corpora.

Full textAbstract:
The management of crises triggered by natural or manmade events requires a concerted effort of various actors crossing institutional and geographic boundaries. Technological advances allow to make crisis management more effective, but innovation is hindered by dispersed and often disconnected knowledge on the lessons learned, gaps, and solutions. Taxonomies enable the search for information of potential interest. This article presents a taxonomy of crisis management functions, designed on the basis of a conceptual model integrating the concepts of hazard, vulnerability, risk, and community, and the main consequence- and management-based concepts. At its highest level, the taxonomy includes ten functional areas: preparatory (mitigation, capability development, and strategic adaptiveness), operational (protection, response, and recovery), and common (crisis communications and information management; command, control, and coordination; logistics; and security management). The taxonomy facilitates the navigation of online platforms and the matching of needs and solutions. It has broader applications, e.g., for structuring the assessment of the societal impact of crisis management solutions and as a framework for a comprehensive assessment of disaster risk reduction measures. While the taxonomy was developed within a research and innovation project supported by the European Union, it reflects and is compatible with established international concepts and classification schemes, and is thus applicable by a wider international community.

Introduction. Ukrainian (Soviet) scientific and technical research was at the forefront of innovation processes in the twentieth century. Scientists paid considerable attention to the development of dual-use military technologies that were implemented in economic activity with a short time lag. One of the largest innovative projects was nationwide communications systems, such as the Internet in the US and the NWAS in the USSR. The advantage of the Soviet communications network was its focus on optimization and automation of economic processes during the pre-project research phase. Most of the scientific and technical developments were conducted in the USSR by Ukrainian scientists under the leadership of V. M. Glushkov. Based on the name of the communication network - «National Automated Information Collection and Processing System for Accounting, Planning and Management of the National Economy» refinement requires the place and role of accounting in the automated processing and transmission of information for management purposes. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to summarize the historical data about NWAS to investigate the experience and prospects of automated processing and transfer of accounting information in global (nationwide) electronic communications. Methods. General scientific empirical, logical and historical methods of knowledge of reality were used in the process of researching the place and role of accounting in the NWAS. The research is based on science general methods of economic processes, facts and phenomena of accounting and business management in the conditions of use of computer and communication technologies. The information base of the research was the historical documents about the NWAS, scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists in the accounting automation field. Results. The place and role of accounting in the nationwide communication network is determined on the basis of research of historical sources and contemporary literature on scientific and practical work of V. M. Glushkov. The methods of accounting functions realization in the NWAS and use of computer and communication technologies are investigated. Scientifically substantiated functional parallels between researches of V. M. Glushkov and modern technologies of processing and transfer of accounting information are provided. It is proved that the most innovative developments in the global dimension regarding the implementation of the principles of economic cybernetics in accounting have been implemented by Ukrainian (Soviet) scientists. Discussion. The implementation areas of V. M. Glushkov’s research in the information society and digital economy have been identified. The reasons for innovative researches stopping on formation of nationwide communication environments are found out. The questions remain: the possibility of information exchange between the Internet and the NWAS, the order of electronic communications of engineers and researchers on scientific and technical cooperation, the possibilities of using the NWAS for Soviet cyber-war (hybrid war), mechanisms of adaptation of the Soviet economy to the decrease in oil prices, realignment with the use of computer and communication technologies.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Project management is an essential skill in the hospitality organization that is only becoming more important (Tereso et al., 2019). Bridging the gap between academia and industry is achievable by experiential learning or providing students with curriculum that gives them hands-on access to real-world industry research projects that attempt to solve real-world industry issues (Steed and Schwer, 2003). The purpose of this paper is to understand the scope of project management curriculum in universities’ hospitality programs, to understand the scope of project management skill requirements in hospitality firms and to narrow the disconnect between project management in academia and in hospitality firms. Design/methodology/approach The study used a mixed method approach. On the side of academia, a quantitative collection method was used to gage which universities offered a project management course, how many universities offer these courses and how many project management courses each university had. On the side of industry, a survey was administered to industry professionals in senior management positions. It was a quantitative survey designed to gage the importance of having project management as part of university curriculum. The aim was to show what was expected to be a disconnect between the two sides – academia and industry. A total of 57 responses were collected. Out of them 49 were usable. The Human Subjects consisted solely of two populations: individuals who worked in the hospitality industry. This accounted for 12 of the responses; individuals who worked in academia – more specifically in higher education at schools that offer Hospitality Management curriculum. This accounted for 37 of the responses. The subjects were identified and recruited through the professional networking site LinkedIn (for subjects that were industry professionals) and through both LinkedIn and American Hotel Lodging and Educational Institute databases for the subjects in academia. There were no direct potential benefits to the subject. The potential societal benefits of the study were the advancement of knowledge within the disciplines of both Hospitality Management and Project Management. The authors used the University of Memphis’ Qualtrics system and changed settings to anonymize responses so IP addresses would not be collected. The Qualtrics’ default is to collect IP addresses and GPS coordinates of those who responded. By setting the survey to anonymized responses the investigators were not able to collect this identifiable information. This information was included in the confidentiality, methods/procedures and in any other necessary sections/documents noting that the investigators would set Qualtrics to anonymize responses. Findings H1 was supported. The findings showed that most colleges and universities did not require project management classes for degree completion. Preliminary research showed that of 68 of the top hospitality programs in the world that were researched, only 7.5 percent required taking project management centric courses in order to graduate (College Choice, 2019; The Best Schools, 2019; Top Universities, 2018). In total, 43.2 percent of respondents answered “yes” when asked if their school offers courses in project management based on this definition of project management: “A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore the defined scope and resources. And a project is unique in that it is not a routine operation, but a specific set of operations designed to accomplish a singular goal. A project team often includes people who do not usually work together – sometimes from different organizations and across multiple geographies. Project management, then, is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirement” (Project Management Institute) (See Table A1). Of 43.2 percent that answered yes, 64.3 percent said that the courses were required for graduation (See Table AII). Meaning, only 27.8 percent of schools surveyed offered and required completing project management courses for graduation. It should be noted that this number may be lower as bias may have played a factor. It is evident that hospitality programs understand the importance of project management because 85.7 percent of the colleges and universities surveyed are teaching project management concepts in courses that are not project management centric, like Meeting and Event Planning (See Table AIII). H2 was supported. Only 9.1 percent of respondents believed that project management skills are not at all important to line level employees. Most, 54.6 percent, believed that project management skills are important to some extent for line level employees. In total, 9.1 percent believed that project management skills are not at all important for supervisory level employees; 27.3 percent believed they are needed to some extent and 36.4 percent believed they are needed to a moderate extent. As for management level employees, it was found that 63.6 percent believed project management skills were needed to a great extent. For director level employees, 63.6 percent believed project management skills are necessary. Finally, 72.7 percent of respondents believed project management skills are necessary for both VP level employees and executive leadership (See Table AIV). It should be noted that one person did not believe themselves qualified to answer questions regarding project management within their organization. More than half of respondents said that project management skills are used to a great extent within their organization. H3 was not supported. Both hospitality schools and hospitality companies agreed that project management skills have some level of importance in academia and in industry – most believed the skills were very important at both junctions (See Tables AV and AVI). However, in the preliminary research the authors found that 55 percent of the top 111 hospitality companies had project management positions, meaning that there was a potential need for project management courses in colleges and universities (Ranker, 2019). As stated earlier, only 7.5 percent of the top 68 colleges and universities required project management courses to be completed upon graduation. So, the discrepancy lies within the vastly different percentages between project management positions within companies and project management courses within schools. Research limitations/implications The data provided strong evidence that supported the idea that project management is not required in hospitality programs upon completion. This opens new avenues to research the reasons behind schools not offering project management courses or making it a requirement for degree completion. On the other hand, project management skills are considered to be needed by hospitality managers. This provides valuable information for future studies that look to close the gap between academia and industry. The results indicated that project management is important for hospitality companies and schools, but the lack of project management education in colleges and universities is evident. The results of this study provided good news to students that aim to work in hospitality companies, since they can improve their project management skills and encourage their programs to stay updated with the industry needs so that they can succeed in their professional lives. Though this was an exploratory study of the project management discipline within the hospitality industry – with a limited sample size – the data clearly justified that there is room for additional data collection and research in this area of study. Practical implications The results show that there is a disconnect between project management curriculum in schools and project management skill demand in the hospitality industry. The research should encourage schools to invest appropriate resources into required project management curriculum. The hospitality industry is vast in the types of businesses that fall under it. Project management is one skill set that can be useful across most of the different businesses in the hospitality industry. From a practical standpoint, providing students with a solid background in the project management discipline provides them an advantage in the highly competitive hospitality industry. It accomplishes this by providing the students with in-demand knowledge and competencies that are both universally accepted and highly regarded by hospitality management companies as a skill set that is widely used in the industry. Social implications There were limitations to this study. Some pieces may be improved in future research. The Qualtrics survey could have been reduced in number and order of questions for a better interaction and results. The use of the Qualtrics database might be helpful to reach a bigger population. Potential steps could be taken to reduce bias that may play a factor in the responses. For example, some respondents may have claimed that their schools offer project management curriculum when in fact they do not, or they do not know to what extent. Originality/value Project management is an essential skill in the hospitality organization that is only becoming more important (Tereso et al., 2019). Bridging the gap between academia and industry is achievable through experiential learning or providing students with curriculum that gives them hands-on access to real-world industry research projects that attempt to solve real-world industry issues (Steed and Schwer, 2003). Most graduate level curriculum at universities was found to hone skills like written and oral communications, problem solving and decision making, organization, time management and cost control (Steed and Schwer, 2003). It has been suggested that universities add project management curriculum and experiential learning to their programs for a more streamlined transition from academia to industry (Steed and Schwer, 2003). Existing research on this subject is a bit dated, so the objectives were: to understand the scope of project management curriculum in universities’ hospitality programs; to understand the scope of project management skill requirements in hospitality firms; to narrow the disconnect between project management in academia and in hospitality firms.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the nature and occurrence, and peculiarities and dynamics, if any, of perceived challenges to the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) in construction site management; using South Africa as context for empirical study. Design/methodology/approach Literature on the constraints to technology transfer and ICT adoption in construction is used as basis for the study. A national survey of registered persons in South Africa was used to collect qualitative data. A robust multi-stepped analytical approach was used to derive results. Findings Findings suggest appreciable similarity between literature and primary data, in types of individual challenges and their categories. Lack of technology and management support, and knowledge and information related issues, are relatively more prevalent in site management. There is a fair level of commonality in perception of technical barriers among the various categories of respondents who are active in site management. However, project managers seem to be more sensitive to some inhibiting factors, more than other respondent groups. Research limitations/implications Inherent limitations of survey strategy were experienced, but highly qualitative data were collected at a national level. The study highlights the range of barriers to ICT in site management, and compounding effects of technology-, knowledge- and management-related constraints. Practical implications The possibility of knowledge-based factors remotely manifesting in other categories was highlighted. There is need to consider all challenges in planning for ICT in projects, and prioritise technology-, knowledge- and management-related challenges. A classification for exploring challenges to ICT in the site management process is also proposed. Social implications Appreciable paucity remains in research focused on ICT in the site management process, as opposed to the popular operations/application focus of IT/ICT studies. Furthermore, there is still scarcity of ICT research in Africa, with regard to the built environment and specifically site management. Originality/value This study contributes to research in ICT innovation adoption in the construction industry, by developing a better understanding of the dynamics of perceived challenges to ICT adoption in the site management process; according to types and classifications of challenges, and roles and age groups of stakeholders. The study further sets a baseline for future studies in this area by proposing a frame of categorisation that is focused on site management.

Full textAbstract:
This empirical study aims to present a real case study in the form of drafting an effective communication strategy to implement the new digital waste management application, SOWA, for B2B customers. In the Czech Republic (and elsewhere) businesses still do not accept that if they do not start working systematically with their waste, they will not have anything to produce in the future. They will not have space for their production and priority business areas. Moreover, in the rules of the new green policy, this area would become more expensive soon. However, the management of companies does not often realize the importance of innovations in this area of social, economic, and environmental reality. To effectively appeal to businesses often fighting to survive only by their social responsibility may not be a sufficiently strong argument in the current climate. At the same time, companies engaging in waste management solve the problem of how to improve their competitiveness, strengthening their position in this very competitive market. These companies thus face a major decision to introduce new digital technologies and their applications and to persuade the customers in the B2B market that these innovations represent maximum time savings and automated service for their businesses. Therefore, these companies ask themselves which marketing communication tools to use and which target groups will effectively convince them that the digitization project would benefit them. In terms of communication, the B2B market has several specifics alongside it compared to a larger, more widespread B2C market in marketing communication theory. These differences are essential in terms of the effectiveness of addressing recipients. The new communication strategy’s draft rests on the authors’ research, which mostly concerns the different target groups of B2B customers. The literature review characterizes the state of current knowledge of the issue of modern waste management and the necessary theoretical base in the specific field of B2B communication. This paper provides the necessary data and information which form the starting point of the communication strategy for one of the fundamental innovations in the field of waste management regarding the introduction and rollout of the new multifunctional application in the Czech Republic. Further rollout of this innovation to other central European countries is considered and subject to serious reflection.

Full textAbstract:
The accumulation of data on project management processes and standard solutions has made relevant research related to the use of knowledge engineering methods for a multi-criteria search for options that set optimal settings for project environment parameters. Purpose: Development of a method for searching and visualizing groups of projects that can be evaluated based on the concept of dominance and interpreted in terms of project variables and performance indicators. Methods: The enrichment of the sample while maintaining an implicit link between the project variables and performance indicators is carried out using a predictive neural network model. A set of genetic algorithms is used to detect the Pareto front in the multidimensional criterion space. The ontology of projects is determined after clustering options in the solution space and transforming the cluster structure into the criterion space. Automation of the search in the multidimensional space of the Pareto front greatest curvature zone, which determines the equilibrium design solutions, their visualization and interpretation are carried out using a tree map. Results: A tree map is constructed at any dimension of the criterion space and has a structure that has a topological correspondence with projections of shared cluster images from a multidimensional space onto a plane. For various types of transformations and correlations between performance indicators and project variables, it is shown that the areas of the Pareto front greatest curvature are determined either by the contents of the whole cluster or by part of the variants representing the "best" cluster. If an undivided rectangle of a cluster is adjacent to the upper right corner of a tree map, then its representatives in the criterion space are well separated from the rest of the clusters and, when maximizing performance indicators, are closest to the ideal point. All representatives of such a cluster are effective solutions. If the winning cluster contains dominant options inside the decision tree, then the ”best" cluster is represented by the remaining options that set the optimal settings for the project variables. Practical relevance: The proposed methods of searching and visualizing groups of projects can be used when choosing the conditions of resource and organizational and economic modeling of the project environment, ensuring the optimization of risks, cost, functional, and time criteria.

Full textAbstract:
Diabetes care in institutional settings is a significant challenge that affects the whole family as well as care workers and teachers. The present study is the ideation part of a rigorous development process in the KIds with Diabetes in School (KIDS) project. We have previously conducted a thorough three-part needs assessment in which we explored the problem area from the viewpoints of (1) municipal administrative staff, (2) preschool and school staff and (3) families. Based on the identified needs and to a great extent on the contents and shortcomings of existing guidelines, the objective of the present study is to explore and develop possible solutions and recommendations for addressing the challenges and problems. To meet this objective, we held comprehensive multistakeholder participatory workshops in each of the five Danish regions. Five main themes with multiple subthemes were identified as areas to be addressed: (1) training and knowledge, (2) communication and collaboration, (3) the designated contact/support person, (4) national guidelines, and (5) the Diabetes Coordinator. Our findings demonstrate that communicative structures and dynamics are at the very heart of the identified problems and challenges and that the possible solutions should revolve around improving existing structures and highlighting the importance of constantly working on understanding and developing communication strategies. We propose a set of recommendations for practice based on these communicative needs.

Full textAbstract:
Context: The present body of research on risk mitigation focuses mostly on sparse and dispersed research using various approaches during project development.
Objectives: This paper's goals are to conceptualize and construct a morphological analysis (MA) framework, examine the literature that has already been published on these risks and how to mitigate them in software development, and identify research gaps that suggest areas for further study.
Methods: Based on a survey of 102 works, we provide an MA framework. The MA framework, which is composed of five dimensions and 17 variants, identifies 33 distinct research gaps as the maximum number of potential areas for future study. The implications for future research are covered in the paper's conclusion. Risk reduction during the project development process is extremely beneficial for project managers at an organization in delivering high-quality goods on time and within budget.
Results: Based on a review of the literature, it was discovered that the development of software projects used a very low percentage of official risk mitigation and elimination methods. Research also revealed the significance of people-related risks in the risk mitigation process for the benefit of the organization. Some key research demonstrated experimentation, case studies, and empirical approaches for evaluation. Future work may include examining project managers' perceptions and knowledge of risk management. Managers of software development teams require greater risk-mitigation strategies.
Conclusion: Scholars and researchers need to put more effort into developing quantitative and intelligent risk models. It is crucial to identify major risks so that they won't compromise the project's future success. In our future work, we can employ more models that are helpful for combining quantitative and intelligent risk models using various AI strategies to reduce hazards.

Full textAbstract:
An integrated approach to the creation and development of innovative startup projects in the field of information technology is considered. To conduct research, the authors proposed a model of information cycles of startup projects based on the creation of an information model of such projects. At the same time there are dynamic processes of changes in the parameters of the model, which are turbulent in nature and require the use of tools and methods of artificial intelligence for research. The key areas of knowledge of such influence are defined. The mathematical model of processes of management of development of IT startups on the basis of creation and development of a difficult IT product, taking into account influences of environments of the project is constructed, the basic characteristics are allocated and parameters are defined. To do this, the construction of predictive models is proposed to be carried out by modified Demarc trends, the method of self-organization and the neural network. The modeling of the main objective functions of the mathematical model of these processes is performed. The analysis of the received results is carried out and the conclusions are made.

Over the last few years, community empowerment has become a central focus when discussing the sustainability of large-scale urban regeneration processes, especially those related to the implementation of nature-based solutions. In this article, the authors describe the experience of the CLEVER Cities project in the city of London, by looking at the dynamics of the early stages of co-creation and the implications on co-governance, motivation and policy. Particular attention is given to the importance of carefully evaluating the project context to guide where emphasis is given on the use of specific co-creation strategies such as building trust, raising awareness or networking. In this case, a set of strategies emerge that are a response to several factors but are strongly influenced by the backdrop of limited social structuring encountered in South Thamesmead, South London. The methods are derived based on a qualitative and looped observation approach over three phases applied to three urban living labs in the project area. Finally, to structure the results, an iterative co-production of knowledge approach is used to cluster the strategies into ten more synthetic recommendations based on collaborative governance, communication and capacity building, as well as incentives and motivation. Further, guidance is given by highlighting priorities to inform policy and place-based planning actions.

Full textAbstract:
This case study demonstrates how we have designed a knowledge management project around story-telling ("narrative" feedback). The aim is to create a global virtual space for sharing of good and bad experiences from the commissioning pilot. This project is also designed to help senior managers understand the experiences of the pilot phase of a major change programme within the British Council. The change programme (referred to as commissioning change programme) is about introducing a new internal model/process to release funding to support new products and services' development and implementation. The research design is informed by Dervin's sense-making theory and Snowden's Cynefin framework and mass narrative representation tools. Telephone and face-to-face interviews were conducted with 30 colleagues in the UK and overseas. An initial indirect question was posed to respondents—"What was your experience with the commissioning pilot?"—to capture their stories. The stories told were transcribed and indexed and patterns were identified. The analysis helps to highlight the problematic areas as well as opportunities for improvement. This case study demonstrates the potential of using narratives to evaluate and capture learning points which can be viewed by managers and staff using multiple perspectives. This approach complements the traditional approach of producing an evaluation report which would be written for a specific group of audience, such as the senior management team.

Full textAbstract:
With the changes in the educational landscape, holding students’ attention has become an even more crucial point. Educators are having to find creative ways and means to engage students and make learning ‘fun’. There have been numerous research studies to show that gamification can be used to drive student engagement, achievement, and reinforce expectations of classroom behavior. These three areas have been important in the International Baccalaureate (IB) world. The need for the reinforcement of expected behaviors has been a noted area in the most recent executive summary; teachers are struggling to implement Approaches to Learning (ATL) in their daily curriculum. ATL skills include communication, self-management, and organization. Classcraft, a gamification system, can help to reinforce these skills daily driving academic success and student engagement. Gamification is not being adopted by teachers and college-level professors. The concerns and resistance are connected to time, beliefs surrounding gamification, and lack of training/knowledge. This research project set out to shine more light on gamification and its implementation into the classroom. By measuring the experiences of teachers through a mixed-methods process, the importance of professional learning and implementation was shown to be important for teacher adoption.
