Adaptation of the management model of internationalization processes in the development of railway transport activities

Abstract

The paper analyzes the importance of the system of management of internationalization processes in developing railway transport. The article also highlights the synergistic effect of a multilevel management model in internationalization processes. The main purpose of the paper was to establish a new model of management of internationalization processes in the frame of railway transport development, presenting a related management model. The article analyzes possibilities of integration of the national railway transport sector into global railway networks and provides a model for the management of internationalization processes in developing railway transport. The developed model was approved in an expert survey conducted in application of a questionnaire method. The goal of the expert evaluation was to ascertain the suitability of the theoretical management model of internationalization processes. Expert evaluation consisting of a questionnaire, the evaluation of concordance of expert opinions, and the results obtained were used in the analysis. The research led to the development of a new railway transport model using the “alliance + cluster” system, which is based on the management of internationalization processes. Many theoretical sources on internationalization processes were analyzed with the aim to adapt main advantages of the internationalization theory in the field of development of railway transport and its prospects for further research.
