Abstract

We devoted this research to studying relation between cultural and business context and implementation of project management methodology. It is truly recognized that project management methodology is not just a list of rules or the standard. It reflects way of vision, thinking and acting. But the understanding of this phenomenon is not enough. In this paper we searched how close context of the P2M methodology (which was created by Japanese for Japanese) to the context of Ukrainian culture and business. Relying on experts interviews and further statistical processing of their answers we concluded that properties needed to apply P2M methodology are not really natural for Ukrainians. From the prospective of the interaction between stakeholders in projects in Ukrainian environment we’ve got following conclusions: interaction is an object of managerial activity; to manage interaction means to moderate generating of common vision of the project and thus to provide their active support; it is expediently to consider interaction management as a separate managerial function with special competences.
