摘要:The paper presents the directions of sustainability and competitiveness improvement of industrial enterprises through the use of project management tools. Special attention is given to consideration of the prospects of application of project management methods at the enterprises of the aviation and rocket and space industry. Problems that enterprises face when implementing the project management tools are identified in terms of the analysis. Advantages of implementing the tools of project management at the enterprises of the aviation and rocket and space industry are determined. The paper shows that the Russian rocket and space industry loses competitive strength in the global market for space technologies and space services. This is due to a trend towards stagnation with respect to industrial enterprises. All of these in turn lead to an obstacle to fostering of enterprises based on innovation.
