Project management sustainability assessment at enterprises of the Russian regions

The transition to sustainable project management is becoming a significant global trend in the development of organizations. Russian companies are also beginning to introduce sustainable project management into their practice. However, in most cases this happens at a slow pace, not systematically and with a weak motivation. At the same time, Russia has a positive experience in building a system of sustainable project management of enterprises, which is important to study, draw conclusions from it and develop a consistent policy of transferring project management on the principles of sustainability. This article proposes to discuss the results of our study, the purpose of which was to assess the sustainability of project management in enterprises. To conduct the study, a system of indicators and methods of their diagnosis was developed. The system consists of four groups of indicators: economic, environmental, social and institutional. The methodology is presented by a standardized survey of experts. The study was conducted at 34 enterprises in 10 cities of Russia. Project managers, program and portfolio managers, project management specialists acted as experts. The results of the study are presented in the form of analysis of economic, social, environmental and institutional components of project management sustainability. We also evaluated the integral indicator of the maturity level of project management. It was concluded that the sample population is represented by enterprises with high, medium and low maturity of project management. This allowed us to establish particular indicators of sustainability depending on the maturity level of project management. Also, the motives of enterprises’ appeal to the policy of sustainability are revealed. The general conclusion confirms our hypotheses that among the leading enterprises there are those which implement the strategy of sustainability consciously and those which do it without a strong positive motivation. Enterprises have also confirmed the hypothesis of the importance of state support for sustainable project management practices. The novelty of our research lies in the original methodology, which involves the evaluation of a whole complex of different indicators, as well as the establishment of an integral indicator of the maturity level of project management. The proposed analysis allows us to identify trends in the development of sustainable project management and ways to extend it to enterprises working in the format of projects

Monitoring regional development based on "green" indicators

The article presents the results of a study devoted to solving actual problems of implementing the concept of "green" development both at national and regional levels. The indicators of "green" development developed by international organizations are considered as a methodological basis for the creation of systems of monitoring and analyzing the processes of economy "greening", preventing and reducing current negative impact on the environment, increasing the efficiency of resource use in the context of carbon regulation. Assessment of the dynamics of the development of the Voronezh region has been carried out on the basis of selected indicators, and it has been concluded that the regional policy takes into account the necessary prerequisites for "green" growth, which determine the need to increase environmental, economic and social efficiency of activities, increasing the level of waste processing and reduce their producing.peer-reviewe

The scenario approach to the development of regional waste management systems (Implementation experience in the regions of Russia)

The article illustrates a theoretical approach to scenario modeling of economic indicators of regional waste management system. The method includes a three-iterative algorithm that allows the executive authorities and investors to take a decision on logistics, bulk, technological and economic parameters of the formation of the regional long-term (10-25 years) waste management program. © 2016 Fomin et al

Intuition in business: Empirical base

In this article, the authors propose economic projection of the views of Daniel Kahneman on intuition. The authors believe intuition to act as an operative category in entrepreneurship. The results of given statistical experiment prove viability of the phenomenon of intuition when making investment decisions. Two independent mechanisms for investment decisions are being defined - the «rational» and the «intuitive» ones. The research leads to conclusion that entrepreneurs’ intuitive decisions possess a relatively high level of efficiency. © 2016 Fomin et al

Primary and Secondary Prevention of Strokes

We have made an attempt to systematize risk factors of primary and repeated ischemic strokes development. The divisions of the corrected and not corrected have been introduced in basis of systematization. The main tasks of primary and secondary prophylaxis of ischemic strokes have been distinguished. The realization of secondary prophylaxis is quite possible in modern stage and in the conditions of existing social and economic difficulties. So in comparison with the primary prophylaxis that sphere is less expensive. The affected possibility to the corrected risk factors has been determined, namely adequate therapy administered in time, complicated by the ischemic stroke development. The basic categories have been determined to carry out primary and secondary prophylaxis of ischemic strokes. They are teachers, psychologists, prophylaxis and curative institutions workers
