Abstract

Efficient strategic project management in SROs (Science and Research Organisations) implies the existence of an integrated strategic management concept closely linked to an innovative organisational design. The aim of the paper is to examine the influence of certain factors of strategic project management on creating an organisational design that encourages innovation in scientific research organizations. An empirical research in SROs in Serbia has been conducted as well. Our research is empirically presented on the example of SROs in Serbia as a representative of developing countries. Our findings show that the external and internal environment, project portfolio, resources, monitoring, methods, and techniques mainly influence an organisational design. These elements of strategic project management account for 67.3% of the explained variability in a developed regression model. This paper extends the current strategic and project management literature with a new conceptual model on the link between strategic project management factors and an innovative organisational design in SROs. The presented analysis can help strategic and project managers establish adequate strategic guidelines for organisational development activities to improve the efficiency of scientific research results and the level of their innovativeness.
