The purpose of the study is to single out the research management and administration strategies that are used at the USA universities and evaluate their feasibility in Ukraine. The method of descriptive content analysis was applied to analyse the relevant literature sources found using the keyword-based strategy. The review process included five basic phases such as preparation, retrieval, appraisal, synthesis, and reporting. The review found three eligible strategies used in research management and administration in the USA universities. These were as follows: the strategy that is based on the Supply Chain Management concept, the strategy that is based on promoting a project management community, the strategies of internationalization: the (research-related) study abroad programs recruiting international students (as a financial source to fund the research), and internationalizing the faculty through the scholarship programmes. While evaluating the strategies using the criteria, the experts rated the project management community-based strategy the highest (45 %), while the Supply Chain Management concept-based strategy scored the least (22 %). Concerning feasibility in Ukraine, the project management community-based strategy scored the highest technical feasibility, legal compatibility, and economical feasibility. The internationalisation strategies showed the greatest values for economical feasibility but moderate scores for other criteria. The Supply Chain Management concept-based strategy showed the largest values for technical feasibility, but the legal compatibility, economical feasibility and stakeholder benefits and ensuring competitive advantage were rated by the experts the lowest.

Although EPC mode has been applied increasingly in the past decade in China, the outcome of its implementation has been proved to be unsatisfactory. Actually, in most of our EPC projects, their supply chains are filled with various kinds of waste and luxurious coordination cost mainly due to uncooperative behavior and adversarial relationship among construction supply chain (CSC) parties/actors. These problems have greatly affected the effectiveness of our EPC project management as well as the comprehensive performance of our CSC. The reason can be largely attributed to the lack of advanced project management thinking and appropriate EPC project management model. This essay is to introduce lean construction supply chain management model to EPC project, aiming at applying lean thinking as well as relevant lean technologies to solve the major problems of our EPC project management and improve the overall competence of our CSC. It also fully discusses some key issues closely relevant to the implementation of LCSCM in EPC project.

Resumo: O outsourcing logístico, aplicado como uma das práticas da Gestão da Cadeia de Suprimentos (Supply Chain Management – SCM), vem demonstrando ser efetivo para a construção de vantagens competitivas nas organizações. A literatura acadêmica tem contribuído com essa prática especialmente ao relacionar seus conceitos com as teorias da economia dos custos de transação (Transaction Cost Economics - TCE) e da visão baseada em recursos (Resource-Based View – RBV). Porém, poucos trabalhos têm abordado a efetiva implementação da relação, ou seja, o momento em que a parceria começa a funcionar de fato. Por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória, este artigo propõe uma sistematização para projetos de implementação de outsourcing de processos logísticos. A proposição é baseada nos conhecimentos da Gestão de Projetos (Project Management) e aprimorada por um processo de verificação realizado a partir de entrevistas com profissionais que passaram ou estão passando pelo processo de terceirização logística em suas respectivas empresas. Os resultados apontam que a sistematização descrita é aplicável no ambiente corporativo, especialmente ao auxiliar a compreensão dos profissionais envolvidos quanto ao trabalho necessário.
