Countries with rapidly developing economies are generating dramatic changes in the international business environment and on world markets. Russia has moved into the final stage of its integration into the world community. After a spell of turmoil, Russian businesses, and especially large ones, have taken on sophisticated forms and gained unique managerial experience in an unprecedentedly short time. Identifying formulas for success is the task that the new generation of entrepreneurs will have to face in order to expand into new markets. There is no way to attain this goal without considering today's experience within its business context.
