MODELLING STAKEHOLDER INTERACTION IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS FOR MANAGING THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF CORPORATE BUSINESS PROCESS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Today's business environment marked by rising uncertainty and rapid digital transformation, competitive advantage hinges on sustaining the development of enterprise business processes by embedding information and technology projects into corporate governance. The key problem here is coordinating the interests of various stakeholder groups, as inconsistencies between them lead to corporate conflicts and a decline in economic security. This underscores the need for organizational modeling of stakeholder interaction to support sustainable process development. The article proposes an ontological model of stakeholder interaction in information-technology projects designed to ensure a target level of economic security for corporate business-process development under uncertainty. The approach rests on the hypothesis of causal linkages among corporate oversight, project management, and business-process evolution, constituting a complex adaptive system. The model uses the Design & Engineering Methodology for Organizations (DEMO), which formalizes organizational interaction by identifying production and communication acts. We extend DEMO by imposing resilience compliance at the transaction level, cascading to every interaction act. The result is an integrated organizational-analytical stakeholder interaction model that strengthens corporate operations' strategic continuity. Unlike approaches that treat economic security and information and technology projects as separate domains, the model unifies them within a single ontological structure. It enables an ontological-communicative paradigm of economic-security management in which the security system is viewed as a network of transactional interactions. This perspective reveals threats in communication patterns and frames economic security as an emergent system characteristic.
