Project management of innovative activity in TOSER

A project management differs from management in the classical meaning of the word. It's an issue of flexibility de- pending on the scale, the specificity and novelty of the projects. Especially these differences become visible regarding the innovative activity management in the system of state Executive bodies in the territories of priority socio-economic development (TOSER). TOSER is a part of the territory of the Russian Federation. It includes closed administratively- territorial formations (ZATO), which in accordance with the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation established a special legal regime of business activities. Project management is essentially a combination of process and functional approach to management. But it has its special advantages, to more effectively manage such a complex process as innovation. The definition of the project management of innovative activities in TOSER takes into account the specifics of innovation development ZATO. It is a management discipline that defines the coordinated work of state bodies, local authorities and business representatives to create preferential treatment to conduct innovative activities in the territories of priority socio-economic development, taking into account the interests of their residents, the state, region and municipal community and ensuring the rational use of budget resources. The flexibility of project manage- ment depending on the scale, the specificity and novelty of the projects allows you to choose the optimal governance structure - functional, matrix or project.
