PROJECT APPROACH AS A MULTILEVEL MANAGEMENT PHENOMENON: GENERAL SYSTEM CONTENT, CURRENCY OF APPLICATION AT MACROLEVEL, NECESSITY AND SPECIFICS OF USE BY BIG INTEGRATED CORPORATIONS

Author

Vinslav Yu.B., ScD (Economics), Professor

Abstract

Assuming that the «project approach» as a phenomenon of management theory and its practical interpretations is far from new in itself, the author of the annotated lengthy paper (first part saw print in No.5 for 2015) stands, however, for a certain rethinking of this phenomenon, primarily in terms of its interpretation as a mobilization tool used in big business (up to national economic) systems. Proceeding from this methodological attitude, the first section of the article briefly describes the general system-wide contents of the project approach (organically associated with the contents of program approach), shows universality of its potential in terms of opportunities for its application at different levels of economy management, including national and corporate, as well as stresses the respective necessity augmented at the current crisis stage of Russia’s national economy evolution. The second section of the article reviews, in relative detail and from different angles, the specific use of the considered approach by large integrated corporations
