Purpose: to identify and assess barriers to enterprises within scientific and industrial consortia implementing projects. Design/methodology/approach: this paper presents the results of mixed studies involving preliminary qualitative research in the form of unstructured interviews with project managers implemented within scientific and industrial consortia, followed by quantitative research using a questionnaire among representatives of enterprises from a group of such consortia. Findings: the effect of the research is the identification of key barriers from the point of view of enterprises in the implementation of projects by scientific and industrial consortia. Research limitations/implications: the results of the research will improve our understanding of the barriers encountered by enterprises participating in the implementation of projects within scientific and industrial consortia. The next stage of research should include an assessment of barriers from the point of view of public HEIs participating in the joint implementation of projects by scientific and industrial consortia. Practical implications: the results of the research will contribute to an increase in the absorption capacity of consortia consisting of private enterprises and public universities and may affect the intensification of work aimed at obtaining funds and joint implementation of projects within scientific and industrial consortia. Social implications: the results of the research may help to increase interest in implementing research and development projects by scientific and industrial consortia, which will result in the transfer of modern solutions from the world of science to industry, bringing specific economic and social benefits. Originality/value: to identify key barriers to scientific and industrial consortia implementing projects and the scope for enterprises to eliminate these barriers.
Purpose: identification and quantification of the factors influencing success of the joint project carried out by a scientific and industrial consortium. Design/methodology/approach: this paper presents results of mixed research involving preliminary qualitative research in the form of unstructured interviews with project managers implemented as part of scientific and industrial consortia, and then quantitative research conducted with the use of a questionnaire among representatives of companies from the group of this type of consortia. Findings: the result of conducted research is the identification of key factors for the success of initiatives carried out by scientific and industrial consortia from the point of view of enterprises. Research limitations/implications: research results will be used to better understand the factors determining success of projects implemented as part of cooperation between private enterprises and public universities. The next stage of research should include assessment of factors from the point of view of public universities participating in the joint implementation of projects by scientific and industrial consortia. Practical implications: research results will contribute to an increase in the absorption capacity of consortia consisting of private enterprises and public universities, additionally will increase the percentage of successful projects and may result in the intensification of work aimed at obtaining funds and joint implementation of projects. Social implications: research results may contribute to greater interest in the implementation of research and development projects by scientific and industrial consortia, which will result in the transfer of modern solutions from the world of science to industry, allowing for specific economic and social benefits. Originality/value: developing a map of key success factors for projects implemented by scientific and industrial consortia from the point of view of companies participating in their implementation.
Purpose: Main objective of the study was to develop a map of impact of particular groups of stakeholders on the process of implementing projects co-financed by the European Union in public universities. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses methods of literature sources analysis and quantitative research with the use of questionnaire distributed among managers of EU projects implemented in public technical universities in the previous financial perspective. Findings: Based on conducted research, the impact of identified groups of stakeholders on the process of implementation of EU project was assessed. Research limitations/implications: Identification of the impact of groups of stakeholders on the process of implementation of EU project should enable necessary management actions to be taken at universities that increase their absorption capacity. Practical implications: Project implementation unit, in particular the team of contractors with the project leader at the forefront, by shaping positive relations with environment, may affect the pace and efficiency of project implementation. By acquiring support of main project stakeholders, likelihood of successful completion of the project is increased. This, in turn, reduces uncertainty and risk associated with implementation of the project and costs incurred to minimize it. Originality/value: Original map of the impact of individual stakeholder groups on implementing projects co-financed by the European Union in public universities.
Effective project management requires consideration of aspects such as quality, costs, time, material resources, staff and communication, and risk. In the case of projects co-financed from European Union funds, the main threat is recognition of part or all of the costs as ineligible, which will result in a need to cover them from university's own funds. Therefore, not only successful completion of the project but also financial condition of the university depends on safety level of EU project management system. Main purpose of the study was to indicate actions aimed at increasing safety of EU project management system in public universities. First part of article is theoretical and was prepared based on a critical analysis of the literature in a field of project management. Second part of the text was based on primary data collected during the survey among EU project managers at public technical universities. Literature studies and results of own research have enabled preparation of recommendations to increase the level of safety of project management system co-financed from EU funds at public universities.
Main objective of the study is to analyse the impact of portfolio management on the level of quality in EU projects implemented in public universities. First part of the article is theoretical and prepared on the basis of a critical analysis of literature in the field of quality management in projects and project portfolios. Second part of the text was based on primary data collected during preliminary survey conducted among EU project managers implemented in public technical colleges in the 2014-2020 financial perspective. Literature studies and results of own research allowed to identify and assess threats affecting the quality level in EU projects that result from transition from the level of individual project management to the level of project portfolio management. Continuous improvement of quality is a characteristic feature of organizations using quality management systems, so the article indicates the need to have an internal quality assurance system at universities. Importance of organizational units managing EU projects in universities in ensuring that products and results of a project are of high quality have also been underlined.
