System dynamics for management of interdisciplinary projects
The study considers application issues of system dynamics method for the purpose of analysis and modeling of the comprehensive interdisciplinary project and research program management processes. The analysis of basic structure elements of the project management and cause-effect relations, which simulate delays, feedbacks and non-linear interdependencies during the process of interdisciplinary project and development implementation, is carried out. The technology for use of system-dynamic models within the bounds of management problem-solving of research and development projects, which provides conceptual analysis of project dynamic structure and modeling of project conduct dynamics purposely to scenarios synthesis and assessment of the given efficiency index values achievement under temporal and resource restrictions, has been proposed. The results of investigation can be applicable for improvement of the existing practice of project management of the various scales in research, innovation, education, investment and other areas.
