International trade and Implementation and Au-diting of IMS: the Managerial Viewpoint

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses IMS implementation and auditing in organizations and defines the managerial problems of the area. The empirical research conducted by the authors has highlighted four types of constraints that organizations face with. The essential problem is preset during the organization’s strategic planning, because integrated IMS audit may only be carried out if all the standards are implemented and certified at the same period of time. The constraints of the second type are related to managerial problems with the stress on professionals’ managerial skills and lack of knowledge related on the standard implementation. The constraints of the third and fourth types are influenced by the procedural peculiarities of IMS standardization and specifics of the project group.
