Abstract

Selective support for certain businesses represented an important part of Russia’s anticrisis policy during the 2008–9 period. The officially stated purpose was to maintain the sustainability of certain “strategic” businesses. Using regression analysis, the author assesses the extent to which an enterprise’s inclusion on the “List of Strategic Organizations” was defined by its “social significance,” and to what extent by its affiliation with one of the sixteen largest Russian business groups.

65. Conceptualising Corporate Social Responsibility: 'Relational Governance' Assessed, Augmented, and Adapted.

Author

Fairbrass, Jenny and Zueva-Owens, Anna

Subjects
SOCIAL responsibility of business, CIVIL society, BUSINESS ethics, POLICY sciences
Abstract

Academic interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be traced back to the 1930s. Since then an impressive body of empirical data and theory-building has been amassed, mainly located in the fields of management studies and business ethics. One of the most noteworthy recent conceptual contributions to the scholarship is Midttun's (Corporate Governance 5(3):159-174, ) CSR-oriented embedded relational model of societal governance. It re-conceptualises the relationships between the state, business, and civil society. Other scholars (In Albareda et al. Corporate Governance 6(4):386-400, ; Business Ethics: A European Review 17(4):347-363, ; Lozano et al., Governments and Corporate Social Responsibility, ) have recently successfully used the model as the basis for their analytical framework for researching CSR activities in a large number of western European countries. While this research offers valuable insights into how CSR is operationalised, it also suffers from a number of significant limitations. To develop a stronger analytical framework with which to explore CSR, this article draws more deeply on political science literature concerned with governance and public policy analysis. This represents the main purpose of this article. In addition, this article also addresses a second and more modest aim: to reflect on the ways in which relational governance-inspired frameworks could be adapted and applied to politico-economic systems where state-industry-third sector relations differ from those found in North America and Western Europe. Both lines of argument are illustrated using vignettes from a case study of the Evenkia Hydro-Electric Station building project in the Russian Federation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

66. Politics and Practices in Post-Soviet 'Business': between shame and success.

Author

Dumitru, Răzvan

Subjects
BUSINESSMEN, CAPITALISM, POLITICAL elites, PRIVATIZATION
Abstract

This article looks at the institutional and cultural roots of post-Soviet business revealing the paradoxes in which the new businessmen are caught, that of new actors using their ex-Soviet experience and connections to act in a particularly shaped "market" economy. It reveals how post-Soviet business fed from the Soviet old institutional setting and combined old resources in a new environment. For example people active in the Komsomol or the secret services were able to both enhance their wealth but adapted to the needs of "the new electoral system". The main ethnographic example focuses on the case of an ex-Soviet businessman, who acted as an intermediary between the Western markets and the ex-Soviet political elites. He alternatively acted out a triple role, that of a western businessman, an ex-Soviet citizen and an expert, thus enabling the conversion of politics into economic gains and vice versa.

It was suggested that the Russian Orthodox Church preached to show their lack of respect for foreign customs making it very difficult for the English traders to avoid.

Abstract

While Russian law provides strong legal protection for minority shareholders, individual shareholders will not benefit from these provisions without a ‘hands-on’ policy with respect to their direct investments in Russia. Minority shareholders must proactively pursue their rights and insist upon compliance with the technical provisions of Russian law. This article describes and analyses such key provisions, assesses the extent of shareholder protection under Russian law and describes areas where abuse has shown the need for improvement.

Abstract

This article reports that the Russian businesses experience chronic shortages of working capital, and it is very hard for them to borrow from banks for this purpose. Commercial banks are unwilling to loan to individual independent or small enterprises, or they charge prohibitively high interest rates, since many banks are inclined to overestimate the credit risks and do not have the equity capital needed for long-term lending to enterprises. Systems for microlending and lending to small and medium-size businesses in Russia, where they exist, are found in very isolated areas.

Abstract

In this comparative survey of seventy-three Russians and ninety-two US managers, we explore differences and similarities in ethical decision-making among respondents from these two countries within a business context. Using Reidenbach and Robin's (1988) multi-criteria ethics instrument, we examined whether business people in Russia and the US differed in their judgement of the ethical content of business decisions. Russia and the US provide an interesting comparison because of the extreme differences in their cultural characteristics as well as in their economies and related business development. Our results indicate that, while Americans, in general, tended to assess certain actions as less ethical when applying utilitarian or justice criteria, the ethical judgements of the two groups differed by situation and by criteria employed.

79. Financial resources for new business in Russia: desirable vs available.

Subjects
FINANCE, BUSINESS
Abstract

The article is focused on the trends in accessing the financial resources for new business formation in the Russian transitional economy. Two hundred and forty-nine managers and entrepreneurs from 18 industries (response rate 26%) surveyed differentiate available vs desirable financial resources. The authors compare entrepreneurs' assessments to those of company managers. Current low-to-medium attractiveness of main sources of financing reflects extremely high interest rates, underdeveloped banking mechanism for crediting new business formation, heavy taxation and differences in new business strategies (entrepreneurial vs privatization). The findings correlate with the current cultural and managerial characteristics of the Russian transitional economy (low uncertainty avoidance, low future orientation). At the same time, among the positive shifts in the Russian economy in the year 2000 is the commercial banks and government funds increased interest in financing not only large businesses, but new start-ups and SMEs as well. The authors discuss the desirable sources of financing and analyse the differences between the views of managers and of entrepreneurs. The survey results display growing interest to accessing medium and longterm sources of financing (bank and commercial credit, foreign credit and others), tax breaks expectations, and lower interest in personal financial contribution.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship has been constrained in post-Soviet Russia by unsympathetic legislation and punitive taxation. In consequence the registered small business sector in Russia is very much smaller than its counterparts in cither Eastern or Western Europe though a high proportion of the population is in some way reliant on entrepreneurial income. Although only 6% of registered workers are entrepreneurs, surveys indicate that one-third of households derive income from independent business activity. As it is a sector in which many people are giving up after two to three years' hard work and tribulations', far more will have been involved in running a small business, often with family members and friends. For many in Russia, the impact of marketization on personal relations has been experienced in the everyday travails of running a small business. People have tested the ethic of family duty, the bounds of friendship and the utility of the economy of favours' originating in Soviet society in business activity.
