Críticas:

`Without question, this book is an important contribution to the Russian management literature and nothing less should be expected considering the team who authored it. . . . I strongly recommend The Russian Capitalist Experiment which is a rare chance to follow ten firms on their exciting journey through the 1990s as Russia's capitalist experiment unfolds.' -- Carl F. Fey, Journal of International Business Studies `This is a very worthy contribution to the literature on the transformation of the Russian economy. The case studies are illuminating all the more so because the authors have a good grasp of the Russian management mentality and avoid imposing awkward Western analytical frameworks. It is refreshing - and long overdue - to read about management change from the point of Russian managers, both men and women . . . I think this is an excellent book. It is well written and carefully constructed, the analysis is concise and authoritative and the case studies thoughtfully presented. Although the authors know their stuff, and the book certainly includes plenty of informed academic discussion, to their credit they have allowed the Russian managers to take centre stage. This not only brings alive the events of 1990s Russia, but also the text itself as a living, breathing chronology of this stunning period. I recommend this book to anyone with an interest, either personal or professional, in the Russian business environment.' -- Nigel Holden, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark

Reseña del editor:

It has been a decade since the collapse of central planning in the former communist countries became openly apparent and the rise of market forces took hold. This path-breaking book examines the transition of firms in Russia in their attempt to develop a market economy based on the capitalist model. Using a longitudinal perspective, the authors evaluate the evolution of Russian firms from the beginning of the 1990s to the end of the decade. They track the developments in four main stages of Russia's capitalist experiment, from the early years of commercialization, through privatization and nomenklatura stages, and concluding with the statization stage at the end of the decade. Drawing on primary data, original interviews and surveys, three types of companies are investigated: state-owned enterprises, entrepreneurships, and hybrid organizations that are primarily private with some state ownership. From their analyses the authors reach conclusions about trends in Russian management, and discuss implications for Russians and Westerners doing business in Russia, suggesting three possible scenarios for the future direction of Russia's capitalist experiment.
