Research Direction: “Development and Implementation of Methodologies, High-Performance Methods, and Information Technologies for Integrated Strategic Management, Portfolio, Program, and Project Management in the Development of Socio-Economic Systems”

Abstract of the Research Direction

Founder and Head of the Research Direction – D.Sc., Professor  Ihor Kononenko

At the end of the 20th century, new fields of global science emerged and became widely spread: strategic management, project management, portfolio management, and program management. These fields have proven to be highly effective when implemented in business, government, and non-governmental organizations. The Department of Strategic Management, which in 2024 was renamed the Department of Project Management in Information Technologies, brought together specialists with many years of experience in developing information technologies to solve the challenges of managing the development of complex systems in 2000. The department’s team conducts active scientific research in the chosen areas and applies their results in the education of bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD students.

Obtained Results

The department’s team has defended 12 dissertations for the degree of Candidate of Sciences and Doctor of Philosophy, and has published 6 monographs. The department has completed 20 research projects commissioned by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MoES) and various enterprises.

In 2008, the author team, led by Prof. I.V. Kononenko, won a competition for the implementation of measures under the State Program for Forecasting Scientific and Technological Development for 2008-2012. As part of this program, the department, at the request of MoES of Ukraine, conducted the research project “Forecast and Analytical Studies of Scientific and Technological Development of the Country Using Mathematical and Statistical Models” (No. DR 0108U006118).

In 2012-2013, with state budget funding, the project “Development of a Computer Technology for Assessing the Impact of National-Level Projects on the Economy and Forming Optimal Project Portfolios” (No. DR 0112U000417) was carried out.

In 2014, Prof. I.V. Kononenko joined the editorial committee for the creation of the “Strategy for the Development of Kharkiv Region for the Period up to 2020”. He led the development of the section “Industry Efficiency”. The preparation of materials for the section involved scientists from NTU “KhPI”: Rector Prof. L.L. Tovazhnianskyi, Professors S.I. Arkhiereev, O.M. Havrys, N.S. Krasnokutska, V.A. Mischenko, P.H. Pererva, A.I. Yakovlev, Associate Professor N.Yu. Yershova.

In 2015-2016, at the request of MoES of Ukraine, the work “Development of an Information Technology for Forming National-Level Project Portfolios Based on the Simulation Model of Ukraine’s Scientific and Technological Development” (No. DR 0115U000543) was carried out.

In 2017-2018, the department completed the project “Development of Information Technology for Synthesizing Methodology for Managing National-Level Projects” (No. DR 0116U000894).

Since 2014, the department has been publishing the Herald of the National Technical University “KhPI”. Series “Strategic Management, Portfolio Management, Program and Project Management” twice a year. Prof. I.V. Kononenko is the chief editor, and O.V. Lobach is the responsible secretary.

Since 2010, the department has organized and conducted the International Scientific and Practical Conference “Integrated Strategic Management, Portfolio, Program, and Project Management” (“Integrated Management”), held in Kharkiv (2024), Slavske (2010, 2011, 2012, 2016, 2018-2022), Yaremche (2013), Bukovel (2015, 2017) Ukraine, Bansko (2014) Bulgaria. In 2020, within the framework of this conference, the “International Workshop IT Project Management 2020” took place. The materials from this event were indexed in Scopus.
