Modern approaches to stakeholder management of transport companies' projects

The article presents the results of a review of approaches to stakeholder management of transport companies' projects. It is determined that the transport industry is one of the basic industries of Ukraine and is critically important for the country's economic sphere. The close connection of the transport industry with enterprises in other areas of activity affects their full-fledged operation. Due to political and social events, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the large-scale invasion and armed Russian aggression, the transportation industry has been experiencing a deep economic decline over the past 10 years, which is reflected in the overall picture of Ukraine's GDP. The post-war economic recovery is impossible without the full-fledged operation of the transportation industry. That is why transport enterprises need government support and reforms through projects involving government institutions, businesses, the public, and international organizations are necessary to minimize the effects of the war and pre-war socio-economic disruption. The involvement of various institutions and organizations in projects implies their fruitful and mutually beneficial cooperation. All participants in the projects of transport enterprises are stakeholders or stakeholders in such projects. Each stakeholder group has its own views, requirements, interests, and goals in these projects, and, accordingly, influence on the project to achieve its own goals and interests. Therefore, it is necessary to manage these relationships and find a balance between stakeholder interests and project goals. In order to formulate a stakeholder management strategy for transport companies' projects, it is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis using tools to identify and evaluate each stakeholder according to a number of parameters. The information obtained will serve as the basis for developing a strategy for mutually beneficial cooperation and finding understanding and balance of interests, goals, and satisfaction. The prospect of further research is to find new or improve existing tools for analyzing stakeholders in transport company projects, taking into account the specific details and deep issues of the transport sector.
