Application of foreign experience of development of project and innovative management at the defense enterprises

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the possibilities for the application of foreign experience
in the development of project and innovation management at the enterprises of the defense industry
of the Republic of Kazakhstan (DI RK). For this purpose, a study was conducted on the experience of
implementing project activities in various countries and identifying features. Given the fact that in the
development of innovation and project management, some countries have advanced far ahead, it seems
useful to study their experience in implementing effective management systems in the country’s defense
industry enterprises. Military power and competitiveness are taken as a criterion to identify the countries
on which to focus for the study and application of their experience. The current state and development
trends of the defense industrial complex of other countries, as well as the experience of international
companies in the implementation of innovation and project activities, have been studied. The study used
data from international organizations, country statistics, global indices and ratings. Among the scientific
literature studied the works of foreign and domestic authors on related topics. The study showed that the
implementation of project activities in different countries occurs at different speeds. As the experience of
other countries has shown, the increase in the amount of funding, in itself, does not ensure the country’s
military competitiveness. The development of the military sector depends on many factors, in addition to
the amount of funding, among which innovativeness of projects, people’s competence, development of
management systems and others are especially important. The practical significance of this work lies in
the fact that the findings and proposed recommendations can be useful in the recently initiated processes
of introducing innovative and project management in the Ministry of Defense and Aerospace Industry,
in general, and in defense enterprises, in particular.
