Abstract
depends on the clear and integrated interaction
between stakeholders, the project manager, and the
movable context. Such an interaction exists on the level
of mental spaces. If the mental spaces are congruent, in
other words, all things are in the space of clear and univocal
understanding of all aspects of the project, “are speaking
the same language,” then project implementation is
clear, exact, and in time.
On practice, it is observed that full understanding is
absent during project initialization and implementation
and mental space cannot be congruent completely or is
congruent partially. This situation exists during the implementation
of the international projects, which involves
working together with specialists from different countries.
In this case, the project manager must organize interaction
between different mental spaces.
A research hypothesis consists of the assumption that
the interaction between mental spaces of the movable
context, stakeholders, and the project manager is carried
out in a blended mental space. This space is temporary
in relative to other mental spaces during the project life
cycle; the project manager should manage this space
through the usage of different skills.
The research was carried out by scientific methods of
theories of mental and blended spaces, and the theory of
knowledge, i.e. theoretical and empirical research using
project management approaches.
The research’s results showed that organization of interaction
in the blended mental space with using appropriate
competencies of the project manager provides successful
project implementation. The theoretical base of research
is presented in the example of the implementation of one
of the largest infrastructure projects in Ukraine: New Safe
Confinement Construction.
