Reviews

"'This highly talented multinational team has produced a rich and meaningful contribution to the literature on Russian business. These authors know the very essence of Russia from their extensive academic and practitioner experience. They deliver fascinating, original in-depth case studies of the pioneering men and women business leaders of modern Russia's first capitalist decade. They also interpret the cases in the context of Russia's history and culture, and offer a comprehensive framework for how Russian business and leadership could evolve to build the country's economy. The New Russian Business Leaders will surely serve for years to come as an authoritative source for academics and practitioners seeking to understand the underlying dynamics of Russian business and its leaders.' - Sheila M. Puffer, Northeastern University, Boston, US"
