SYSTEMIC APPLICATION OF SECURITY-ORIENTED PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY FOR THE ORGANISATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT

Анотація

The relevance of the study is explained by the fact that if the solution to a certain scientific problem is a product that is expected to be obtained as a result of the project, then scientific research and its implementation will actually become such a project with all its inherent methodology, theoretical basis and practical tools. In the context of scientific research organisation and the search for methodological tools for their high-quality implementation, there is a necessity to explore ways to effectively transform the tools for increasing the efficiency of the functioning of socio-economic systems and their management. The project approach has the potential to facilitate this. The objective of the present study was to specify the possibilities and identify methodologies for the systematic utilisation of security-oriented project management for scientific research in economics and management. The research methods employed included synthesis and analysis, facilitating a comprehensive study of literary sources, regulatory documents, and digital information resources. The application of generalisation and abstraction methods enabled the formalisation and generalisation of the principles underpinning the utilisation of project management methodologies. The existing approaches, practices and principles of project management were organised using classification and systematisation methods. The study posits the proposition that projects should be conceptualised as episodic, time-limited endeavours undertaken by teams of specialists, with the objective of developing unique, innovative products or services, or attaining specific social or economic outcomes at the behest of the client, who is recognised as the initiator of the project. Project management is defined as the process of planning, organising, implementing project activities, motivating project team members and controlling the results obtained by them. In contradistinction to routine tasks, scientific research, particularly that which is characterised by the presence of clearly defined deadlines, the generation of unparalleled results, and the necessity for the expeditious consideration of novel data, is optimally suited to the implementation of a project management methodology. This methodology deviates from conventional approaches by incorporating risk management at all stages of the project, with a focus on proactive identification, assessment and minimisation of risks. This approach ensures the timely completion and reliable outcomes of the research process, a matter of particular importance in circumstances where resources allocated for scientific projects are limited and the complexity of successfully addressing scientific problems in the fields of economics and management is increasing. The practical value of the provided proposals is ensured by the possibility of their use in the process of scientific activity of educational and scientific institutions and teams of independent researchers.
