The Role of Project Management of the Innovative Activities of Large Industrial Structures

Changes in economic conditions of development of economic subjects require application of new tools that improve functioning of entrepreneurial structures in the system of adaptation to global processes and challenges. These tools are especially important for implementation of innovative activities in large industrial structures that form the main part of the country’s GDP. One of such tools is project management, which is a targeted process of development and implementation of decisions aimed at successful execution of works within innovative activity. According to this, the purpose of the research is consideration of the models of project management of large industrial structures’ innovative activities that are used in the Russian and foreign practice. Within the research, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: consider the theoretical foundations of the essence of project management of innovative activities in large industrial structures; determine the peculiarities of the model of project management of innovative activities in large industrial structures of the Russian Federation; generalize foreign experience of project management of innovative activities of large industrial companies; form the proprietary model of project management of innovative activities of large industrial structures. The scientific novelty of the research consists in generalization of peculiarities of project management of innovative activities in the Russian and foreign realia of development with possible creation of the proprietary model of project management. The methodology of the research includes the following methods: theoretical analysis, used for generalization of existing theoretical and methodological studies in the sphere of project management of large industrial structures; generalization, used for determining peculiarities within the models of project management of innovative activities; comparison, used for comparing facts for the purpose of determining the common and different features within the Russian and foreign models of project management of innovative activities of large industrial structures; modeling, used for creating the proprietary model of project management of innovative activities within large industrial structures. The main conclusions and results could be used for studies in the sphere of project management of large industrial structures in the conditions of digital economy.
