Conceptual Basics and Mechanism of Innovation Project Management

Abstract

The work reveals basic conceptual provisions of managing projects that enable enterprises to start developing innovatively. On the basis of the stated theoretical provisions, goals and tasks required to solve the most important research and technical problems are defined. The goal of this article is to systemize conceptual provisions of the theory of managing innovation projects based on applying various methods to estimate them. Innovation project management is based on such principles as selective management, target focus of projects, completeness of project management cycle, stage-by-stage approach and hierarchical nature of the innovation process and project management process, and multi-variance. In order to form conceptual basics and implement the process of innovation project management, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to consider conceptual basics of innovation project management, to reveal the specificity of the mechanism related to managing innovation projects, and to develop the algorithm of applying the Gurwitz method to manage the innovation project.
