Risk management protocols are required when outsourcing, to balance execution control and collaborate effectively. Within the scope of IT projects, this research aims to survey the various methods of strategic outsourcing and the contexts in which they operate. Further sections attempt to analyze case studies based on the aforementioned aspects. Based on the available literature, the research consolidates best practices in outsourcing and presents recommendations on aligning them with project goals. Finally, the potential concerns that need to be addressed when trying to outsource activities are presented. Therefore, the research to be done within this analysis will look to dissect existing literature to assess current outsourcing practices. Additionally, the research will look for reasons why outsourcing was/is not as successful as it could be, as well as evaluate how outsourcing in IT has changed with the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Timely Delivery

The purpose of this work is to identify the main problems in the formation and development of PPP projects in Russia, as well as to propose ways to solve them. The article analyzes the significant barriers hindering the development of PPP in Russia, based on the results of international and Russian studies. The study found that a strategic PPP approach has the potential to mitigate cost overruns and facilitate the timely delivery of each project phase on a timetable by clearly delineating governance, sharing common risks, integrating resources, applying best practices, and setting cost budgeting and accountability throughout life cycle. PPP in the long term can solve each of these tasks to varying degrees, depending on the project. Recently, the development of public-private partnerships (PPPs) and overcoming barriers to the implementation of investment and construction projects in the form of PPPs have become increasingly relevant and discussed at the state level, as well as among large and medium-sized businesses in Russia. The development and improvement of financial mechanisms within the country will create a basis for the effective use of resources, business and government opportunities in the development of PPP projects, in particular infrastructure.

This paper reviews modern technologies for the recycling of asphalt, which is a key element for effective use of resources. The major goal of the industry is to create a true recycling, meaning that the reclaimed asphalt is used in the same road layer where it has been used before. This requires the ability to produce high-quality asphalt while incorporating high-ratios of reclaimed asphalt. Depending on the situation of the regional road construction industry different strategies for re-using reclaimed asphalt are appropriate. In this paper, we provide an overview on best practices for recycling on asphalt mixing plants.

Case Basis

Projects that require analytical support can evolve from a number of different situations, for example new molecular entities from drug discovery; process changes; packaging changes; site changes; line extensions; and inlicensed projects and compounds. Laboratory automation has been shown to provide a viable and practical solution to assisting in analytical development. However, it is not always the most logical answer. A truly flexible and responsive analytical unit will make a decision on a case-by-case basis, when faced with a new project, whether it is best to: automate some or all aspects/testing involved; contract out to a reputable and approved contract research organization (CRO); hire temporary help; use available in-house resources; use a combination of the options shown above (for example to evaluate the complexity of the new project versus what the in-house resources are currently working on). The paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the various options with respect to providing analytical support and suggests optionsfor the most effective use of resources. The role of automation as one of the important tools in the arsenal of these options is highlighted.
