Limitations in the Use of Social Network Analysis Methods in Marketing Project Management

One of the trends of the labor market is project management skills. In such conditions, the professional education of a project manager becomes especially relevant since it is often impossible to completely replace it with work experience. One of the most vital areas for project success is communication management. Nevertheless, in this area, unlike many others, tools that allow objectively analyzing the quality of communications are not used. Relatively recently, a method of social network analysis (SNA) has appeared, which enables, among other things, analyzing communications in projects. Researchers wrote about the applicability of this methodology in project management. This article will identify some of the limitations in the use of SNA in project management.

Design Thinking and Creative Technologies in Project Management: Multi-Stage Approach

The present article is devoted to the issues of applying design thinking and other creative technologies destined at the development of innovational solutions of the existing tasks and restrictions in project management processes. The authors are developing a conceptual framework by defining the focus of application of creative technologies in the project management practice as well as are proposing a custom approach to the application of the relevant instruments based on the project type and its lifecycle phases. The findings are made on the basis of fundamentals of project management, strategic management and design thinking methodology, as well as the authors’ own applied studies and experience in project and program management. The proposed approach allows broadening theoretical learnings on the project lifecycle stages from the perspective of creating and developing business innovations, as well as on the project manager role and skills, which in turn helps to resolve complex issues and controversies connected to the application of the existing project management methods in the organizational development and innovation product creation processes.

Resistance to Digital Transformation Projects in FMCG Companies

This paper explores the reasons for resistance to digital transformation projects in FMCG companies. The purpose of the work is to develop recommendations for mitigating resistance. Within the framework of the study, an in-depth analysis of existing theoretical approaches and a quantitative analysis based on a sample of more than 60 respondents working in the FMCG sector were carried out. It was found that employees are prone to resistance in the absence of trust in the company's management and the project as a whole. At the same time, the fear of losing a job reduces the willingness to get involved in digitalization projects for people with higher education, while for people without it, maintaining employment is not decisive. It was also revealed that employees of FMCG companies are unwilling to overwork and disrupt the work-life balance, regardless of their attitude to digitalization. Finally, it turned out that employees working remotely are less likely to resist digital transformation projects.

Research of Projects for the Introduction of Innovative Technologies for Industrial Safety in Russian Oil and Gas Companies

According to Rostekhnadzor, an increased level of accidents is observed at the facilities of the oil and gas complex of the Russian Federation in 2021, in relation to the previous year. This is due to the insufficiently effective work of the production control services, the lack of a detailed analysis of each accident and accident, the prevention of the study of the causes. Every year, the economic damage caused by accidents, industrial injuries, and occupational diseases increases both in the main and auxiliary activities of companies in the Russian oil and gas complex. Recently, companies in various sectors of the economy have been paying great attention to the introduction of innovative technologies (IT) to ensure industrial safety (IS), including labor protection, fire safety and road safety. It is relevant to study trends in the implementation of IT in the areas of safety assurance used by domestic oil and gas companies to reduce the number of accidents, eliminate occupational injuries and occupational diseases. It should also be emphasized that the literature does not pay enough attention to comprehensive research reviews of projects for the implementation and practical application of IT in the field of IS, and, first of all, in oil and gas companies. These reviews are especially valuable for managers and specialists in the field of IS to make strategic and tactical timely management decisions for the implementation of IT. Research of projects on the introduction of innovative technologies for ensuring industrial safety in Russian oil and gas companies will allow you to build the entire decision-making chain: from goal setting to practical implementation.
