We sincerely congratulate Eduard Bohdan, a student of Sumy State University, and his research supervisor, Ihor Rekunenko, on this significant academic achievement \u2013 winning First Place in the All-Ukrainian Competition of Student Research Papers in the field of \u201cDigital Transformation of the Economy and Management\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On June 9, the final scientific and practical conference of the All-Ukrainian Competition of Student Research Papers was held. The competition brought together young researchers from higher education institutions representing different regions of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year, 44 research papers were submitted by leading higher education institutions from various parts of Ukraine, including Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Lutsk, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Khmelnytskyi. During the final conference, the competition committee heard and evaluated 11 research papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First Place \u2013 Eduard Bohdan, Sumy State University<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research topic: \u201cDesign Thinking as a Tool for Project Management and the Generation of Innovative Solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research supervisor: Ihor Rekunenko<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The research provides a theoretical justification and practical validation of the feasibility of using design thinking as a tool for project management and the generation of innovative solutions. The author systematized approaches to assessing the innovativeness of project ideas, developed a system of relevant indicators, and created an integrated innovation index that enables the quantitative comparison of alternative project initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A practical outcome of the research was the development of a web-based software tool for evaluating innovative ideas, which implements the proposed methodology in the form of a digital calculator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This victory in the All-Ukrainian competition is the result of the student\u2019s persistent research efforts, thorough investigation of the scientific problem, and professional academic mentorship. It also demonstrates the high level of student research at Sumy State University and the active involvement of young researchers in advancing modern approaches to management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
