The aim of the author is to consider an issue which has not been subject to research so far. The article proves that risk management is an important element of the Intellectual Property system. Risk management helps reduce injuries arising from the materialisation of pure and speculative risks. The article also pays special attention to risk transfer related to intel-lectual products. The article considers insurance transfer to be the most ac-ceptable and therefore the insurance of objects of intellectual property should be introduced into practice.

The policy of constant innovations, organizational changes, globalization, and the mass introduction of communication and information technologies render project teams an indispensable practice for a lot of contempo¬rary companies. Teamwork is an essential feature of project activity, while project management encourages the establishment of teams. This is due to the fact that the benefits from applying modern methods and approaches to project management ultimately depends on the qualities and skills of both project team leaders and members. The up-to-date nature of the issues researched in this article stems from the growing significance of project activity in the business world and the awareness that organisations need to increasingly employ project teams so as to adapt to dynamic organizational changes. The objective of this article is to study the key aspects of building and managing project activity teams. In order to accomplish this objective, the following major tasks have been set: (1) to present the main groups of proc-esses involved in project management and to examine teamwork activity; (2) to identify the nature and features of project teams which distinguish them from other types of teams; (3) to study the individual stages through which project teams go in the process of their formation and to analyse the processes related to organising, managing and leading project team members; (4) to pre-sent and analyse project team management models according to the nature of the organizational structure of management.

  CARD-NOT-PRESENT FRAUD – CHALLENGES AND COUNTERACTIONS

  Due to the rapid development of electronic commerce, the percentage of card-not-present payments over the Internet and fraud related to these, have increased.

Due to the rapid development of electronic commerce, the percentage of card-not-present payments over the Internet and fraud related to these, have increased. The relative importance of card-not-present fraud (CNPF) has increased permanently on a global and European scale mainly due to the gradual solution to problems connected with the protection of card-present transactions through the transition to the EMV chip standard and transfer of fraud to more vulnerable card-not-present transactions in which it is difficult to verify the identity of the cardholder in a reliable way. For the protection of card transactions it is necessary to take adequate measures by introducing common harmonized compulsory minimum security requirements across the EU. First, we propose these requirements to include methods for checking the authentication of users. We consider the 3-D Secure Protocol in a version with dynamic authentication the most suitable method because in the EU many steps towards its implementation have already been made. This is of great importance for the systems used by banks and merchants for the prevention of card-not-present fraud and for detecting and blocking of fraudulent transactions.
