Introduction. The pharmaceutical market is characterized by a stable annual growth of 5-6%. According to the results of sales in 2018, the key domestic producers of pharmaceutical products were PJSC «Farmak» (the market share was 5.4%; the sales growth was 20.7%, compared to the previous year), Arterium Corporation (the market share-3.5%; the sales growth-17.6%), PrJSC «Pharmaceutical Firm «Darnitsa» (the market share-3.27%; the sales growth-15.3%), the Group of Companies «Zdorovya» (the market share-2.32%; the sales growth-12.4%). The successful functioning of a modern enterprise largely depends on its ability for sustainable development by means of introducing innovations, developing new products and adopting effective models of management. All these activities require that an enterprise adopts a project approach. As the number of projects is growing, alongside with their cost and life cycle, it is becoming increasingly important to implement the concept of portfolio management. The present research outlines different approaches to creating a project portfolio and describes instruments that can help enterprises select an effective combination of projects in a portfolio. The object of the research is the project activity of a «Pharmaceutical Company «Zdorovya». In order to achieve the purpose of the research, the author applies multiple criteria weighted ranking and cluster analysis. Methods. Multiple criteria weighted ranking is used on the first stage of project evaluation in order to define its ranking (priority). The method of multidimensional classification, as well as cluster analysis in particular, is used to divide all the projects into groups. The advantage of cluster analysis lies in the fact that it allows businesses to group projects according a great number of miscellaneous parameters. Joining (tree clustering) and K-means clustering methods are employed with the help of STATISTICA software. Ward's method as amalgamation (linkage) rule and Euclidean distances as distance measure are also applied as methods of cluster formation. Results. Project ranking based on the level of risk, the investment cost, the net present value, the profitability index and the discounted payback period allowed the author to define the priority of each project and suggest recommendations as to how they should be included into the portfolio of projects. Nine projects were considered in order to create a project portfolio for a pharmaceutical enterprise. Multiple criteria weighted ranking shows that Project 3 has the highest priority. The conducted clasterisation revealed three clusters of projects that characterise different directions in the process of starting a modern pharmaceutical manufacturing facility (Cluster 3), launching a new medicine into the market (Cluster 2) and expanding the existing range of products (Cluster 1). Conclusion. While forming a project portfolio, it appears worthwhile to use a combination of three parameters: risk, effectiveness and cost. Additively, which is characteristic of net present value...

“…Dodatkowo za ramę teoretyczną służyły nam opracowania podejmujące kwestię motywacji wolontariuszy do pracy na rzecz innych [Gil et al 1998]. Wykorzystałyśmy także teorię interesariuszy [Ackermann, Eden 2011], zarządzania interesariuszami oraz zarządzania interesariuszami w projekcie [Freeman, Reed 1983, Freeman 1984, Cleland 1986, Bryson, Cunningham, Lokkesmoe 2003, jak również koncepcje uwzględniające w zarządzaniu projektami zaangażowanie interesariuszy oraz specjalnych jednostek powołanych na potrzeby projektu jako istotnych czynników ich powodzenia [Locatelli et al 2017].…”

“…Jednocześnie obszarem odróżniającym ŚDM w Krakowie od innych projektów społecznych i kulturalnych był dobrowolny udział interesariuszy na tak dużą skalę. Należy zauważyć, że zaangażowanie interesariuszy, zwłaszcza zewnętrznych, jest zdaniem badaczy jednym z istotnych elementów powodzenia projektów [Locatelli et al 2017]. Charakterystyczne dla ŚDM było zaangażowanie równolegle interesariuszy instytucjonalnych (przedsiębiorstwa, organizacje publiczne i pozarządowe) oraz indywidualnych (wolontariusze i gospodarze przyjmujący), przy czym, co istotne, bez pracy tych drugich ŚDM nie mogłyby się odbyć.…”

Humanistic Dimension of Project Management Practice. A Case Study of the World Youth Day (Cracow 2016)The text attempts to reflect on the project management practices from the humanistic perspective. The subject of consideration involved the World Youth Day (WYD) project, which took place in Cracow in July 2016. In the paper, the World Youth Day is shown as an example of a mass-scale organizational event, which required the people involved to have advanced management skills and the knowledge of methodologies and various tools necessary to manage large projects. Attention, however, was focused on the role that these people and their related values such as faith, emotions, pride, hopes, and dreams played in the management of this project. Thus, the research problem formulated in the paper investigated how the values of the people co-creating the WYD events impacted the effective and timely implementation of the project and its goals. Keywords: World Youth Day, project management, humanistic management, individual project stakeholders Słowa kluczowe: Światowe Dni Młodzieży, zarządzanie projektem, zarządzanie humanistyczne, interesariusze indywidualni projektu

“…The method and metrics of daylight research and their influence on results for lighting or overall energy demand in buildings, is a new research ground. Most of researches in Serbian region are dealing with only cooling and heating energy demand [5,6], investments in contemporary façades [7,8], solar potentials in region [9], or policies for low energy buildings [10]. For comparison purpose with this research, no studies of daylight utilization in office buildings for Belgrade climate have been performed or published, to the best of author`s knowledge.…”

Original scientific paper https://doi.org/10.2298/TSCI170531224GOffice buildings have high standards for lighting requirements, which greatly contribute to high lighting energy consumption. Daylight utilization is one of the means to reduce it. The goal of this paper is to evaluate daylight utilization potentials in Belgrade climate in order to generate initial design guideline for highly glazed small, individual office spaces. Daylight availability and its lighting energy implications are analyzed using computer simulation tool DIVA for Rhino. Selected individual office space is modelled as a narrow rectangular space, sidelit and highly glazed. Parametric analysis was carried out for: four different glazing ratios (50, 60, 70, and 85%), four glazing types with different visible transmittance properties (80, 72, 62, and 54%), and four different major orientations. Since this analysis is evaluating daylight utilization potentials, no shades or external obstructions were considered. The major results of this study indicate high potential for daylight utilization in office buildings in Belgrade. Daylight utilization in single offices is reaching its maximum in model with 70% windowto-wall ratio for all office orientations except north orientation, where daylight utilization is reaching its maximum at maximum window-to-wall ratio. Also, north orientated spaces have highest benefits from utilization of useful diffuse daylight. Direct sunlight and size and shape of façade aperture above working plane are determining factors for utilization of daylight in office spaces.
