Историческая близость и общий постсоветский опыт нередко создают иллюзию культурной предсказуемости, которая на практике оборачивается управленческими сбоями.</p><p>На основе более 15 полуструктурированных интервью с инвесторами, представителями власти, руководителями проектов и независимыми экспертами по Центральной Азии выявлено 7 ключевых культурных особенностей, которые определяют успех или неудачу проектов в бизнес-среде Узбекистана: иерархическую вертикаль, иншаллах-менеджмент, хоп-коммуникацию, систему социальных связей (махалля), институт местного посредника (проводника), краткосрочный горизонт планирования и двойной календарь.</p><p>Исследование выполнено в разведывательном дизайне: его цель состоит не в статистической генерализации, а в формировании первичной концептуальной карты культурного контекста как основы для последующих количественных исследований. Для каждой из выявленных особенностей предложены конкретные управленческие решения, позволяющие адаптировать стандартные проектные инструменты к локальной среде без отказа от них. Настоящее исследование будет полезно российским компаниям, реализующим или планирующим проекты в Узбекистане и Центральной Азии в целом.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The cultural context of project management in Uzbekistan, one of the fastest growing markets in Central Asia, attracting a significant amount of Russian investment, has been analyzed. Historical proximity and shared post-Soviet experience often create the illusion of cultural predictability, which in practice results in managerial failures.</p><p>Based on more than 15 semi-structured interviews with investors, government officials, project managers, and independent experts on Central Asia, 7 key cultural characteristics that determine the success or failure of projects in the business environment in Uzbekistan have been identified: hierarchical vertical, inshallah management, hop communication, social relations system (mahalla), the local intermediary (explorer) institution, a short-term planning horizon, and a dual calendar.</p><p>The research has been carried out in an intelligence design: its purpose is not to generalize statistics, but to form a primary conceptual map of the cultural context as a basis for subsequent quantitative research. Specific management solutions have been proposed for each of the identified features, allowing standard project tools to be adapted to the local environment without abandoning them. The study will be useful for Russian companies implementing or planning projects in Uzbekistan and Central Asia in general.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Узбекистан</kwd><kwd>управление проектами</kwd><kwd>культурный контекст</kwd><kwd>кросс-культурный менеджмент</kwd><kwd>Центральная Азия</kwd><kwd>иерархия</kwd><kwd>стейкхолдеры</kwd><kwd>деловые коммуникации</kwd><kwd>адаптация методологий</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Uzbekistan</kwd><kwd>project man agement</kwd><kwd>cultural context</kwd><kwd>cross-cultural management</kwd><kwd>Central Asia</kwd><kwd>hierarchy</kwd><kwd>stakeholders</kwd><kwd>business communications</kwd><kwd>methodology adaptation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Bredillet, C., Yatim, F., &amp; Ruiz, P.
