Chapter 3. Inclusive project management opportunities in national economy development

The section presents the results of a comprehensive study of inclusive project management as a tool for transforming the national economy in the face of global challenges. The authors examined the methodological foundations of inclusivity in project management, analyzed international experience, and conducted an empirical assessment of the relationship between inclusive practices and innovative capacity using the example of ten countries. The results obtained confirm the hypothesis of the positive impact of inclusive management on human capital development, economic sustainability, and innovative growth. The constructed regression model demonstrated a high level of correlation between the inclusion index, human development, and innovation index, as well as the multiplicative effect of social diversity.

For the first time, four approaches to inclusive project management (socially oriented, institutional, innovative, gender-inclusive) were systematized and practical recommendations were developed taking into account international standards. A critical analysis of Ukrainian realities was conducted, barriers were identified, and directions for further research were outlined – from dynamic econometric modeling to the impact of inclusive practices on local community development.
