The emergence of a project culture is closely tied to the emergence and development of an organisational culture. Project culture is a subculture of a business system’s organisational culture. To a great extent growth and development, i.e. the design o f business system strategies through the realisation of project programs and with the assistance of the project management, depend upon project culture. When the project culture fails to attain a substantial level, this leads to difficulties in carrying out projects, as well as business system strategies, and puts a strain on the work of the project management and the project team as a whole. The creation and development of project cultures in business systems and society as whole has been influenced by the development of project management. In the future, project management development will continue to have considerable impact of the development of project culture in business systems and in society as a whole. Changes to the project culture are essential for the survival and growth o f business systems. These changes are all the more likely to succeed if they first take hold at the top level of business systems, and then work their way down towards the subsystems. This makes the relation of management towards strategies and project programs a pivotal factor for project culture and in turn, a key factor to the successful execution of the project program.

Project Strategy

Strategic management development was based upon the forming of a business system strategy. Nowadays, strategic management is undisputed as a fundamental part of a successful business system. Without a systematic analysis, monitoring and prognosis of a business surrounding, it is highly risky to initiate any kind of management of business system activities. The purpose of business systems was the creation of strategies and not the realisation of the objectives set by the strategies themselves, and this is something that needed to be changed. First of all, a strategy is to be designed and then preparations for the launching (start) of the project followed by the realisation of project growth and development are to take place. In this way strategic management is linked to project management within a unique and continuously active process. The quick transformation of strategies into projects is reached with instruments such as project strategy forming measures and timely introduction of project management in the process together with the support of various experts. Project management is to be introduced in the process during the phase of strategy forming in order to initiate preparations for project launching as soon as possible, thus achieving quick realisation of strategic objectives.

Given the complexity and unpredictability of changes in the global environment, the choice and implementation of strategies for the development of business systems in international markets requires careful analysis and refinement. The paper clarified the concept of business system and developed a methodical approach to the analysis of business systems functioning conditions. The multiplicity of approaches to classification strategies requires the submission of a typology of strategies for the development of business systems. The theoretical justification for the study of the processes of organizational development of business systems is based on the provisions of the institutional approach, organizational development and strategic management. The result of the research is the procedure for choosing a company strategy in a global environment and organizational development strategy. To confirm the selected provisions, the results of the analysis of strategies for the organizational development of enterprises of the bearing industry are presented.

Substrate is a key factor for successful crayfish culture, and it can be used to increase the survival rate. The effects of substrate on the survival and growth ofAstacus leptodactylusEschscholtz, 1823 were evaluated in flow-through compartments, divided into three sections and with two different substrates, over a period of 90 days. The three treatments used in the study were: artificial ropes, small stones, and a control group that received no substrate. The survival rate was highest in the small-stones treatment group (77.3%) and was lowest in the without-substrate treatment group (41.3%), while the artificial-ropes group showed an intermediate value (65.3%). Total yield was lower in the control group, 22.46% (25.0 g) as compared to the small-stones treatment group, with 42.3% (51.3 g) and the artificial-ropes treatment with 35.51% (55.8 g). In addition, cheliped injuries were found in higher proportion in the group without cover, and the artificial ropes yielded better results compared to the small-stones and no-substrate group in regard of the growth-increase rate.

From small companies to major enterprises, the COVID-19 pandemic put us all to test. While it has left us facing an unpredictable future, it also offers us the chance to create a self-sufficient and self-reliant India, or “Atma Nirbhar Bharat.” The motivation towards a self-reliant India became stronger after the border conflict with China. Being dependent on China for both finished products and raw material, it is imperative for India to reduce this dependence. The “Atma Nirbhar Bharat” needs to be planned and executed as a nationwide program comprising several projects. Successful execution of this program needs to follow a systematic project management approach. This chapter tries to develop a blueprint for planning and execution of this program which is aimed at a self-reliant India.

IT project management requires qualified staff capable of facing the rapidly changing conditions and even terminology of technology while managing large teams of people where main costs come from human work. A key factor for managing human side of IT is the understanding of the essential feature of people performance: skills. Capability to cope with this highly demanding field should firstly rely on clear and standardized frameworks for skills, not only the technical or hard ones but also the soft or behavioral ones, considered by employers as essential for employees' productivity. This chapter shows how the recent development of frameworks and standards in European Union (e.g. EN16234 or ESCO classification) is enabling the powerful exploitation of open big data from existing skills analysis systems for a more precise and solid determination of recommended skills for IT project management. The analysis will especially focus on the behavioral skills.

Knowledge repository is becoming a key factor within organizations as it can maximize the probability and impact of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) project success. Therefore, project management (PM) processes and knowledge repository are widely used in ICT projects to improve the degree of project success. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a model that defines how the combination of PM processes and knowledge repository would successfully support project success. This paper adapts the quantitative research approach by using the survey strategy which is conducted through questionnaires collected from 320 people working in ICT companies in Jordan. The researchers utilized the Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) as an analysis technique to test all hypotheses. The findings suggest that there is a positive effect of adapting the PM processes in improving the project success mediation by the knowledge repository.

Over Time

The organization of economic activities differs among countries and over time. Differences between nations have been highlighted in academic discussions about national business systems and the varieties of capitalism. This group of articles about the Dutch business system contributes to these debates by offering new empirical research from the perspective of a small, open economy and highlighting changes that have occurred during the second half of the twentieth century. While they discuss developments in the Netherlands, the articles also explore general themes, including corporate governance, cartels, and the organization of multinational companies. While the articles show that business systems are in constant flux, comparisons between the Dutch and U.S. systems seem to suggest that each moves at a different pace. A particularly striking aspect of the Dutch stories is the large impact of developments abroad.

This paper proposes a new institutional perspective to explain not only the diversity of local business systems in China but also how this diversity results from the integration of major institutional forces. We model the emergence of China's business systems as a co-evolutionary process unfolding along a business–government and a micro–macro-level dimension structured by intergovernmental institutional competition, business to business and business to government networking and public-private corporate governance. We find that: (i) China's emerging business system is the result of local institutional competition at the micro level that reduces the need for national (macro) institutions and impacts on the local implementation of national (including supranational) policies; (ii) the interaction between government and business is structured through networks which operate according to an economic rationale while drawing on cultural norms and traditions; and (iii) local businesses interact with local governments to recombine productive factors and reorganise firms and industries in line with local institutions. We conclude that the astonishing adaptability of Chinese businesses as well as the risk of corruption and lack of formal control at local government level are elements of locally differentiated business systems which are held together by an overarching institutional architecture.
