Specific Problems of Management in Russo-Chinese Joint Ventures (Specialized in Energy & Power Products)

Thanks to a number of positive factors benefiting a favorable investment climate in the People’s Republic of China, the Russian investors keep on exporting capitals and hi-technologies to this country and creating a number of companies and businesses, including enterprises, specialized in manufacturing power and energy products. In this paper we analyzed the relevant literature and compared managerial models at Chinese enterprises with those in China managed by the Russian based on well-established theories related to adopting foreign management at the enterprises in China. In the empirical study we concentrated on certain problems emerging at the enterprises where the Russian managers have been present and involved actively in the decision-making. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a preliminary analysis through the eyes of both Russian and Chinese specialists.
