Book Synopsis Corporate Governance in Russia by : Alla Dementieva
Download or read book Corporate Governance in Russia written by Alla Dementieva and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores discussions and practice around corporate governance in Russia from the early 1990s until 2018. It covers three major aspects of corporate governance theory and practice: a vision of corporate governance in Russia in the context of global trends and challenges, the general perception of corporate governance in Russia, and the real nature of Russia’s corporate community from the viewpoint of its corporate governance practices. It provides a unique complex analysis and detailed description of how corporate governance has been perceived by both Russian regulators and the business community, and how it has been applied in Russian companies. This analysis covers the period of over 25 years: from early attempts at directing transfer and implanting the Western model of corporate governance to the nascent Russian big private business, up to the period of resurgence of the state as the dominant player both in Russian society and its economy at large. It gives an understanding of what corporate governance is in Russia in the days of "sovereign democracy" and confrontation with the West. It explains how cultural, political, economic and institutional factors have shaped corporate governance in Russia. The authors provide insights into such aspects of Russian corporate governance framework and practices as regulatory philosophy and enforcement, ownership structure, the role of the state, the impact of unfriendly domestic business climate, how the value of corporate governance is perceived in Russian context, etc. Predominantly, the book paints an interesting picture of how the "sovereign corporate governance" model has been shaped in Russia. This book will be useful not just for experts in corporate governance and investors, but also for those who have an interest in modern Russia at large.
Book Synopsis Building Big Business in Russia by : Yuko Adachi
Download or read book Building Big Business in Russia written by Yuko Adachi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the development of big business in Russia since the onset of market oriented reform in the early 1990s. It explains how privatized post-Soviet enterprises, many of which made little sense as business units, were transformed into functional firms able to operate in the environment of a market economy. It provides detailed case studies of three key companies – Yukos Oil Company, Siberian (Russian) Aluminium and Norilsk Nickel – all of which played a key role in Russia’s economic recovery after 1998, describing how these companies were created, run and have developed. It shows how Russian businesses during the 1990s routinely relied on practices not entirely compatible with formal rules, in particular in the area of corporate governance. The book fully explores the critical role played by informal corporate governance practices - such as share dilution, transfer pricing, asset stripping, limiting shareholders access to votes, and 'bankruptcy to order’ - as Russian big business developed during the 1990s. Unlike other studies on Russian corporate governance, this book highlights the ambiguous impact of informal corporate governance practices on the companies involved as commercial entities, and suggests that although their use proved costly to Russia’s business reputation, they helped core groups of owners/managers at the time to establish coherent business firms. Overall, the book shows that we cannot understand the nature of current economic changes in Russia without recognising the crucial role played by informal corporate governance practices in the creation and development of big business in post-Soviet Russia.

Book Synopsis Corporate Governance in Central Europe and Russia by : Maria Aluchna
Download or read book Corporate Governance in Central Europe and Russia written by Maria Aluchna and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines corporate governance through a holistic lens that integrates financial, social and environmental goals, e.g. increasing transparency and disclosure. In addition, it investigates the theoretical assumptions guiding the current corporate governance practices adopted by companies in Central Europe and Russia. The book presents a dynamic study on the evolution of corporate governance systems, which were practically non-existent just 30 years ago. In turn, it addresses criticism leveled at corporate governance, its impact on the outbreak of the financial crisis, and recommendations for changes after the crisis. The book employs a regional focus, exploring a group of countries that have often been neglected in corporate governance research. Carefully selected data and a variety of case studies prepared by leading authors from the region provide evidence to support the analysis.
Book Synopsis Russian Corporations by : Andrei Kuznetsov

Book excerpt: Do you understand what it takes to conduct business successfully in the new Russia? The large-scale market reforms that revolutionized Russian business are now nearly a decade old. In this period, as editor Andrei Kuznetsov puts it, ”The Russian economy has acquired some intriguing characteristics that affect any firm or person wishing to do business in Russia. Most noticeable of them are the spread of barter transactions, a low level of investment activities, labor hoarding, and the importance of networks and unorthodox forms of corporate governance.” Russian Corporations: The Strategies of Survival and Development shows that while predictions of the quick development of a functional market economy in the new Russia have not, for the most part, come true, it is nevertheless possible, if one’s preconceptions are properly modified, to do business successfully there. In this timely and informative book you will find: information about the scale and scope of barter in the new Russia--how it works and why it is crucial to the survival of industry the pros and cons of insider shareholding in the new Russia the evolution of ownership structures and patterns of control in Russian firms a discussion of investment (and the lack of it) in Russian industry data about supplier/buyer relationship management in the region Investors, businesspeople, educators, and students will all find fascinating information in Russian Corporations: The Strategies of Survival and Development. This single source will bring you up to date on the theory and practice of corporate business in the new Russia.
Book Synopsis Corporate Governance of State-Owned Companies in Russia by : Rustam Rizvanov
Download or read book Corporate Governance of State-Owned Companies in Russia written by Rustam Rizvanov and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia plays an increasingly important role in the world economy and politics. It is the world's largest country with immense natural resources, which help Russian government to attract foreign investors and shape European as well as global geopolitical agenda. Its economy has undergone crucial changes from the Soviet central-planning model towards the market-based economy just within two decades. Today, Russia is still considered one of the grey areas for the foreign investors on the world map, as its political and economic system are still in transition and bear significant risks for investors. One of the unique features of the Russian economy, which distinguishes it from the more developed Western countries, is the high State involvement in the economy through ownership in the largest companies in the country. Although, these State-Owned Companies are responsible for the substantial part of country's GDP, there has been limited amount of research on corporate governance of such companies. In order to narrow this gap, the goal of this Thesis is to discover and analyse corporate governance system and standards applied by the State-Owned Companies in Russia and compare them with the available best practices. In order to do so, Hilb's New Corporate Governance (2012) model has been chosen as a main theoretical framework of analysis. Findings of the survey and research conducted by the author show that Russian State-Owned Companies have already implemented compliant corporate governance systems, which to the certain extent enable the proper oversight of the company. Nevertheless, after comparing these systems with best practices available in the literature, the main conclusion of conducted analysis was that, although the significant progress has already been achieved, there is still plenty of room for improvement and refinements which can enhance effectiveness and overall quality of the corporate governance systems observed in the R.

Book excerpt: This book tells the story of what might have been considered an unlikely source of dynamic change in Russia - formerly state-owned manufacturing enterprises and their managers. Based on interviews conducted over a six-year span with managers at 47 manufacturing, light industry, consumer durable, and food processing firms in four Russian cities, the study documents the real world challenge of turning hidebound, often dysfunctional manufacturing operations into thriving companies. With analytical rigor and theoretical creativity, this work will dispel some common misconceptions about the Russian economy and make a contribution to the literature about management, company strategies, and corporate governance.

Book Synopsis Corporate Governance of Russia's State-Owned Enterprises by : Hector J. Lehuede
Download or read book Corporate Governance of Russia's State-Owned Enterprises written by Hector J. Lehuede and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's corporate Russia, the State remains a significant shareholder with controlling or blocking stakes in several large and dominant enterprises, which according to some studies account for roughly 50% of the country's GDP. While noteworthy improvements were made in the past years with regard to the way State-owned enterprises (SOEs) are governed, the perception, as measured by investors' valuations of Russian SOE shares, suggests that there is still much to do. Understanding the challenges of the Russian SOE sector and improving its corporate governance becomes, in this context, a key driver of potential economic growth and development. The objective of this paper is to offer a general description of the corporate governance of the Russian SOE sector. For this, we first depict the development of corporate Russia and address some key issues related to its current ownership and control structure (Section I). Second, we focus specifically on the SOE sector and provide comparative data from different sources measuring its governance and performance (Section II). Then, we address the role of the Russian State as shareholder (Section III) and we conclude highlighting areas where adoption of international best practices for SOEs could have a positive effect on the Russian economy and capital market (Section IV).
Book Synopsis Corporate Governance in a Transition Economy by : Svetlana Poukliakova

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an empirical examination of the impact of business group (BG) affiliation on various measures of firm performance in a transition economy, Russia. The Russian economy provides a unique opportunity for testing of the effects of BG affiliation, which is important for both mature markets and developing economies. A panel sample of around 1000 companies was constructed for the period 1998 to 2001, based on information obtained from a large commercial database, Arnadeus. For the purpose of this study, all firms are divided into two main subgroups: oligarchic business groups (OBGs - economically powerful private business groups with either horizontal or vertical control structures and concentrated ownership in the hands of few individuals) and non-oligarchic firms. A measure for OBGs is created and tested for reliability and validity and a structural model for OBGs is also developed. This measure is then used as a determinant of three major performance measures: profitability, investment and productivity. The results indicate that OBG affiliation is positively but weakly related to firm profitability and productivity. However, the study also finds a redistribution effect of OBGs on their affiliated member firms' profits and debts. This redistribution effect may suggest a stabilization role of BGs in the absence of appropriate market institutions, but might also suggest an opportunistic value transfer. Empirical support for a corporate version of the Laffer curve is also found. That is, relative to their unaffiliated counterparts, OBG affiliated firms have a tendency to outperform their un-affiliated counterparts in terms of taxes paid to state and local budgets, provided that tax rates are lower and tax law enforcement is stronger.
