Nowadays, leading world companies widely use methodology, standards, and project management tools in many areas of project-oriented activities, including investment, innovation, and information projects. Last years the implementation and functioning of the country’s enterprises’ project management system have been actively discussed in Kazakhstan.This work aims to identify critical processes of project management planning that affect the effectiveness of projects at the enterprise of the military-industrial complex of Kazakhstan. For this purpose, a survey of top managers of defense industry companies was conducted. A total of 28 respondents were interviewed, working at 18 enterprises of the military-industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan and directly participating in the implementation of projects. Data were personally collected by a questionnaire survey conducted during 2019. To verify the formulated model’s assumptions and success, correlation analysis, and other relevant tests were used. Using the model of project management planning quality (PMPQ), process efficiency has been assessed, and critical factors for the effectiveness of defense industry projects have also been identified. The results show that the Republic of Kazakhstan’s defense industry complex projects has a low level of efficiency and an average score for the use of project planning processes. Project efficiency evaluation has also revealed critical knowledge areas for defense projects like human resource management, schedule development, and define scope. The research expands knowledge in PM, revealing the importance of planning processes for the defense industry that need more focus to achieve top-level success and effectiveness of projects. AcknowledgmentThis study is the second part of grant AP05134488 that has been funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

This chapter describes a development of algorithms, software, and hardware for avatar management and avatar moderator training systems, using the principle of practical tendency in sliding mode control environment and illustrating its applicability in virtual communications project management. The avatar is a computer-synthesized animated three-dimensional model, acting as a virtual representation of a real person, or as a visualization of the communication system of artificial intelligence. It is required to develop and evaluate realistic avatar interfaces as portals to intelligent software capable of relaying knowledge and skills in various subject areas. The chapter focuses on integrating speaker-independent continuous speech recognition, context technology of intelligent dialogue system in real-time, graphics rendering based on motion capture (motion capture is used by avatar to accompany the verbal information with gestures), and the development of applied information systems with avatar technology for different subject areas. Thus, created algorithms, software, and hardware are now use in collaboration works at the Astrakhan State University (Russian Federation) and at HHH University (Australian Federation and the Republic of Armenia) for the development of avatars for project management in design of real virtual control systems.

Indispensable Tool

Information systems outsourcing is an indispensable tool in the management of information systems. The set of services contracted to outside suppliers, originally more limited to services of an operational nature, has expanded over the past two decades, and today there is a wide range of services subject to outsourcing. Among them are: the hiring of software development; maintenance of applications; services and communications networks; security of information systems; and many others. Depending on the nature of the services contracted and on the range that the contracting of services has on departments of information systems, the issues involved in project management vary considerably. This article presents the results of a survey conducted among large companies in the Republic of Ireland to characterize, among other things, the range of services that are most often outsourced. The results are relevant in the sense that not only do they enable a better understanding of the reality of information systems departments of large Irish companies, but also enable the management to focus attention on specific services.

The Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (INPP) is located in Lithuania, 130 km north of Vilnius, and consists of two 1500 MWe RBMK type units, commissioned respectively in December 1983 and August 1987. On the 1st of May 2004, the Republic of Lithuania became a member of the European Union. With the protocol on the Ignalina Nuclear Power in Lithuania which is annexed to the Accession Treaty, the Contracting Parties have agreed: - On Lithuanian side, to commit closure of unit 1 of INPP before 2005 and of Unit 2 by 31 December 2009; - On European Union side, to provide adequate additional Community assistance to the efforts of Lithuania to decommission INPP. The paper is divided in two parts. The first part describes how, starting from this agreement, the project was launched and organized, what is its present status and which activities are planned to reach the final ambitious objective of a green field. To give a global picture, the content of the different projects that were defined and the licensing process will also be presented. In the second part, the paper will focus on the lessons learnt. It will explain the difficulties encountered to define the decommissioning strategy, considering both immediate or differed dismantling options and why the first option was finally selected. The paper will mention other challenges and problems that the different actors of the project faced and how they were managed and solved. The paper will be written by representatives of the Ignalina NPP and of the Project Management Unit.

Management Services

This article analyses the emergence of a new type of service provider, specializing in third-party management services (TPMSPs), and investigates the impact of their involvement in collaborative projects. After assessing the benefits and risks of using TPMSPs, the author suggests that a code of conduct should be elaborated and puts forward initial ideas on what such a code might include. Finally, he suggests that the European Commission should facilitate the access of consortia to these types of services while at the same time enforcing rules of ‘good behaviour’.

Резиме: Управљање пројектима је процес креативне оптимизације расположивих ресурса који укључује припрему, оцјену, извршење и пословање предмета инвестирања. У посљедњем периоду може се примијетити да све већи број предузећа у Републици Српској улази у реализацију пројеката који не дају очекиване (пројектоване) ефекте. Анализом резултата проведеног истраживања дошло се до закључка да већина предузећа у Републици Српској не примјењује концепт управљања пројектима, што негативно утиче на ефикасност управљања пројектима и рационалну (оптималну) алокацију ресурса у предузећима. Ефекти инвестирања у предузетничке пројекте у Републици Српској су скромни, односно 45% пројеката који се реализују представљају промашене инвестиције на којима предузеће трпи губитке. Остварени ефекти инвестирања у складу су са планираним тек код 18% пројеката, а већи од планираних у 5% пројеката. Посматране инвестиције нису имале ни позитивне ни негативне ефекте код 10% пројеката.Summary: Project management is the process of creative optimization of available resources, including the preparation, evaluation, implementation and management of cases of investment. In the last period, it may be noted that an increasing number of enterprises in the Republic of Srpska enters the implementation of projects that do not provide the expected ( projected ) effects. By analyzing the results of the study led to the conclusion that most of the companies in the Republic of Srpska does not apply project management concepts, which negatively affects the efficiency of project management and rational ( optimal ) allocation of resources in companies. The effects of investment in entrepreneurial projects in the Republic of Srpska modest, or 45 % of the projects that are being implemented are the failed investment where a company suffers losses. The effects of investments in accordance with the planned only in 18 % of the projects, a greater than 5 % of the planned projects .

Procurement System

The experience of Western countries with a developed market infrastructure shows that the public procurement system naturally became an integral part of the sphere of internal commodity exchange of certain types of products and services and one of the mechanisms for maintaining competition and a liberal way of doing business. The objective basis for the existence and progressive development of the public procurement system in the national economy of many countries is the fact that in the process of fulfilling their target functions, individual government departments and organizational structures of any of them are forced to face the problem of material and technical support both for the implementation of state and local programs, and for the implementation of their current activities. As a rule, it is solved by purchasing the necessary material and intangible resources, goods, works and services through purchases, called state, in the process of specially organized competitive bidding. The purpose of this article is to show the experience of developed countries in the implementation of public procurement.
