INFLUENCE OF ENERGY ENTROPY OF THE PROJECT ON THE CONDITION OF THE PROJECT-ORIENTED ORGANIZATION

Abstract

In this work, the energy-entropy concept is applied to project-oriented organizations. The specificity of project-oriented organizations from the point of view of the energy-entropy concept is that each project forms a certain contribution to the formation and dynamics of energy-entropy. According to this concept, an organization is considered as a system that exchanges matter, energy and information with the environment, which determines the presence of informational (structural) entropy and energy entropy. Moreover, the latter is the result of the existing order in the organization, which is determined by the structure and implementation of business processes. The energy-entropy concept operates with such categories as “energy”, “entropy”, “free energy”, “dissipation” and allows using energy-entropy to assess the state and dynamics of organizations regardless of their sphere of activity. A universal formalization of energy entropy for various organizations and its expression for project-oriented organizations is presented. The energy entropy of organizations is determined by information entropy, total energy, and the ratio of the achieved level of energy efficiency to the “ideal” level. The relationship between energy entropy and informational (structural) entropy of project-oriented organizations is established. It is determined that when adding a new project to the current totality, the organization must ensure a balance between the growth of uncertainty (information entropy) and energy efficiency. The method of “decomposition” of the total energy entropy of project-oriented organizations in the form of the sum of local energy entropies for projects is presented. The effect of adding a new project to the structure of a project-oriented organization on its integrated energy entropy is investigated. The presented results form a new look at the qualitative assessment of both a single project and the entire set of projects of a project-oriented organization.
