The New Russian Business Leaders - By Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries, Stanislav Shekshnia, Konstantin Korotov, and Elizabeth Florent-Treacy (original) (raw)

The paper explores the emergence of a new generation of Russian business leaders following the post-perestroika era. It distinguishes between two main groups: 'Russian' Russians, who prefer to develop entirely local organizations, and 'Global' Russians, who integrate Western practices while actively engaging in international trade. The authors argue that despite prevalent negative stereotypes associated with Russian entrepreneurs, many have successfully built organizations based on genuine leadership and innovative practices.
