In Search of Russian Model of Management: Insiders’ Perspectives

Abstract

The article discusses the necessity and feasibility of the Russian model of management. Importance of such a model is proved by the need for defining the peculiar features of the Russian management, specifically those potentially becoming the source for competitive advantage of the domestic companies in the process of integration of Russia into the world economy. Author is analysing the problem of finding the basis for creation of the national model of management, stressing the importance of its building by the multicultural teams of researchers, i. e. not only by insiders (Russian citizens) but also by outsiders. Main part of the article represents the review of the recently published books on the Russian management. The review aims to define major tendencies in approaching Russian management analysis. In the conclusion the author emphasizes the necessity of using research rather than descriptive approach to formulation of the model of Russian management.
