Аннотация

The course Project Management in International Companies introduces students to the fundamental principles and contemporary practices of project management in multinational environments. It aims to equip students with both conceptual understanding and practical tools for initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, and closing projects that involve multiple countries, partners, and cultures. The course emphasizes the integration of project management methodologies, such as those defined in the PMBOK, ISO 21500, PRINCE2 with the realities of global business and international cooperation. By studying theoretical frameworks and real-life cases, students learn to approach projects as strategic instruments for achieving organizational goals and implementing corporate strategies in dynamic global markets. The course combines lectures and seminars in a logical sequence that follows the life cycle of a project and the PMBOK knowledge areas. Lectures introduce key concepts, frameworks, and standards, while seminars are focused on case studies, group discussions, and practical exercises that simulate the work of international project teams. The first part of the course addresses the global environment of projects, cultural and organizational factors, and the role of stakeholders in international settings. The central part focuses on integration, scope, schedule, cost, quality, resource, and communication management, demonstrating how these areas interact in real-world project scenarios. The final part examines advanced topics such as risk management, procurement and tendering under international standards (including FIDIC), and value engineering as a means to maximize project effectiveness. Through the combination of conceptual study and applied exercises, students develop both the analytical and interpersonal skills required for managing global projects. By the end of the course, participants will be able to define project objectives, plan and organize work breakdown structures, allocate resources, coordinate multicultural teams, and apply communication and control mechanisms ensuring effective project delivery. Practical assignments and teamwork serve as continuous assessment tools culminating in the final examination. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to apply structured project management tools, coordinate multicultural project teams, and deliver outcomes that align with corporate strategies of international organizations.

Цель освоения дисциплины

The objective of the course is to build students’ ability to manage projects in international environments where complexity arises from cultural diversity, geographic dispersion, and differences in organizational practices. The course aims to develop a systematic understanding of how global projects are initiated, planned, executed, and controlled within multinational companies. It focuses on integrating project management methodologies with the realities of international business, strategic alignment, and cross-cultural collaboration. Students will enhance their competence in applying PMBOK-based tools to the context of global projects, designing project structures adapted to international constraints, and leading distributed teams. The course also contributes to the development of analytical, communicative, and leadership skills essential for coordinating stakeholders and achieving strategic objectives in multinational settings.
