The subject of this research is administrative relations that arise in the process of reducing the construction time as a branch of material production that is carrying out erection of buildings and reconstruction of structures of various designation. The object of this research is the construction complex as a whole; companies of various corporate structure functioning on the investment-construction sector; organizational legal forms of interaction between the parties to the investment-construction process; state regulation in the sphere of major construction. The goal of this article consists in examination of foreign experience in resolution of primary issues with regards to construction time management: assessment of the duration of processes and allocation of resources. The author explores such aspects of the topic as the economic component of administrative impact upon the implementation of a construction project; parameters of project management (time, quality, and cost); modern time management techniques; business process reengineering; principles of cross-team building. The scientific novelty is defined by the insufficient study of the questions of improvement, theoretical, experimental and feasibility study of technological processes, methods and forms of construction planning and its production facilities in the context of reducing the construction time. The value of this work for the national economy consists in studying the theory and practice of reducing the construction time and searching for solutions of scientific and technical problems of construction by means of development and creation of the competitive construction technologies, as well as organizational and technological decisions. The following results were achieved: determination of the key parameters of project management (time, quality, and cost); analysis of cost increase of the project depending on usage of the strategies for reducing production schedule; examination and visualization of development strategies for increasing competitiveness of the companies in complex business, as well as assessment of the level of customer satisfaction according to the system of basic criteria. The author passes an original opinion on the effectiveness of time reduction techniques.

The subject of this research is the management relations that arise in the process of reducing construction time as a branch of material production that carries out erection and reconstruction of buildings and structures for various designation. The object of this research is the construction sector as a whole; enterprises of various forms of ownership that function in the investment and construction sphere; organizational-legal forms of relations between the parties to investment and construction process; state regulation in the area of capital construction. The purpose goal of this work consists in examination of national experience in solving the key issues of managing construction period: estimation of time and allocation of resources. Detailed analysis is conducted on such aspects of the topic as the economic component of management impact upon realization of a construction project; critical factors the internal and external environment of construction process and their causes; application of mathematical methods that calculate the likelihood of external influence based on evaluation of the impact of environmental factors; innovative component in project management. The scientific novelty is define by insufficient coverage of the questions of improvement, theoretical, experimental and feasibility study of technological processes, methods and forms of construction management along with its production capacity with regards to the problems of reducing construction time. The following results were obtained: Assessment of the level of prior studies of the problem of reducing construction time for determination of promising directions for further scientific research; Description is provided to the methodology of managerial impact upon realization of a construction project, including the key factors, stages, and outcome; Demarcation the concepts of actual, estimated and normative construction time is conducted; Evaluation is given to project management pertinent to objective establishment of construction time;  The role and place of innovation component and planning in project management are revealed; Technical and technological methods for optimization of construction projects are examined; The article discusses the alternatives of reduction of time allotted for construction, as well as outlines the vectors for solution the problem of optimization of construction time.

The subject of this research is the regulatory relations arising in the process of reducing construction period as a branch of material production that carries out the erection and reconstruction of buildings and structures of different purposes. The object of this research is the construction sector as a whole; enterprises of various forms of ownership that operate within the investment and construction sector; organizational-legal relations between the parties to the investment and construction process; state regulation in the sphere of capital construction. The aim goal is to examine the key issues in regulating construction period; assess duration of the processes and allocation resources. The author focused on such aspects of the topic as the restricted (recommended) application of building regulations; actualization of the provisions of building regulations with regards to housing construction; development of the time or network schedules for building and construction works; enlarged construction costs standards; factors of variation of the construction period. Special attention is given to the rational variants of organizing the construction process for changing the normative duration based on the made decisions. The scientific novelty is defined by lack of knowledge on the questions of improvement, theoretical, experimental and technical-economic substantiation of technological processes, methods and forms of organizing construction and its production capacity with regards to the problems of reducing construction period. The importance of this work for the national economy lies in studying the theory and practice of reducing construction period, and seeking solutions for the scientific and technical problems of construction through development and creation of the competitive construction technologies and organizational-technological solutions that ensure intensification of the processes of erection, reconstruction, and modernization of buildings and structures while reducing labor, material-technical, fuel and energy resources.

Managing science, which includes managing scientific research and, implicitly, managing scientists, has much in common with managing any enterprise, and most of these issues (e.g. annual budget planning and reporting) form the background. Equally, much scientific research is carried in universities ancient and modern, which have their own mores, ranging from professorial autocracy to democratic plurality, as well as national and international with their missions and styles. But science has issues that require a somewhat different approach if it is to prosper and succeed. Society now expects science, whether publicly or privately funded, to deliver benefits, yet the definition of science presumes no such benefit. Managing the expectations of the scientist with those of society is the challenge of the manager of science. The book addresses some issues around science and the organizations that do science. It then deals with leadership, management and communication, team building, recruitment, motivation, managing scientists, assessing performance, cooperation and competition. This is followed by a discussion of proposal writing and reviewing, committees and meetings, project management, risk and health and safety. Finally, there is a discussion on how to deal with disaster, how to cope with the stresses of management and how to deal with difficult problems.

PurposeThe purpose is to explore how the process of action research (AR) can support building legitimacy and organizational learning in innovation project management and portfolio practices in merger contexts.Design/methodology/approachMeta-reflection on method issues in Action Research through an action research case study with an innovation group during an organizational change process. This case demonstrates an example of an action research cycle focused on building practitioner legitimacy rather than problem-solving.FindingsKey findings include (1) demonstrating how AR can be used for building legitimacy through visualizing the innovation process, and embedding those visuals in top management practices of the organization; and (2) demonstrating how AR can work as an organizational learning tool in merger contexts.Research limitations/implicationsThis study focuses on an action research cooperation during a two-and-a-half-year period. Thus, findings offer the depth of a medium term case study. The processes of building legitimacy represent this particular case, and can be investigated in other organizational contexts to see the extent to which these issues can be generalized.Practical implicationsFor researchers, this paper offers an additional type of AR cycle to consider in their research design which can be seen as demonstrating a form of interplay between practitioner action and organizational level legitimacy. For practitioners, this paper demonstrates a connection between legitimacy and organizational learning in innovation contexts. The discussion of how visuals were co-created and used for building legitimacy for an innovation process that differs from the standard stage gate model demonstrates how engaging in AR research can contribute to developing visuals as resources for building legitimacy and organizational learning based on connections between theory and practice.Originality/valueThis case rethinks AR practice for innovation project management contexts to include legitimacy and organizational learning. This focus on legitimacy building from organizational learning and knowledge conversion contributes to our understanding of the soft side of innovation project management. Legitimacy is demonstrated to be a key concern for innovation project management practices.

The use of Capability Maturity Models in financial management, project management, people management and information systems management in a wide variety of organisations indicates the potential for an Organisational Evaluation Capability Hierarchy to guide the self-diagnosis of organisations in building their evaluation maturity. This paper is about the theory behind this growing trend in organisational governance and organisational diagnosis, and explores its relevance to evaluation theory and practice. This theoretical analysis may have long-term practical benefits for evaluation practitioners, as is being developed in the fields of project management, financial management, and people management in a wide range of organisations.
