Development of the Monitoring System for Management Team Effectiveness in Russian Regions

Abstract

It is important to establish flexible, effective and valid monitoring of regional management teams’ (RMT) activities in the sphere of investment climate improvement. The subjects of this article are the methodology and technique of RMT activity monitoring and control by means of target models of regulation and law enforcement (target models). The analysis of methodological and methodical bases of target models is carried out. The experience of target model realization in 2017 is investigated. Capabilities and restrictions of target models as instruments of regional management monitoring are estimated. The analysis of target model realization based on the ratio of the “complexity of actions” and “volume of capital expenses” criteria has helped distinguish four groups of models: simple and inexpensive; difficult and inexpensive; simple and expensive; difficult and expensive. For each group of models, the main risks of non-execution are revealed. On this basis, recommendations concerning further validation of target models in the following directions are developed: digitalization of regional documentation; providing regional subteams and local governments with means of communication; training of municipal employees in competencies of project management; increasing the involvement of profile federal executive authorities, resource supplying organizations, and banks; development and deployment of technical regulations. The above helped formulate the hypothesis that target models can be used as the mechanism of RMT effectiveness monitoring in territorial subjects of the Russian Federation regardless of the region’s social and economic conditions. Target models can be considered as the instrument of monitoring and controlling efforts of authorities at all levels in the sphere of regional investment climate improvement in Russia.
