Analysis of innovative projects of enterprises of the forestry industry of the Russian Federation
Abstract
The work investigates innovative projects at enterprises of the forest industry of the Russian Federation. The sample of respondents to the survey is substantiated. A survey of 30 experts related to the forestry industry was conducted. Ten key types of forestry enterprise projects were identified. Based on the survey, forestry enterprise projects were assessed according to three parameters: project implementation frequency, project technological complexity, and project implementation cost. A comparative analysis of the frequency of innovative project implementation at forestry enterprises in the Russian Federation was conducted. A two-factor analysis of innovative projects at forestry enterprises in the Russian Federation was conducted. A map of innovative projects at forestry enterprises in the Russian Federation was created, divided into four areas based on complexity: simple projects, organizationally complex projects, technically complex projects, and complex projects. It is concluded that most projects in the forestry industry are complex.
