Авторы: Ivvonen, L. A.; Shirokova, G. V.
Краткий осмотр (реферат): The purpose of this article is to present the analysis of main research directions on strategic
entrepreneurship (SE) published in international peer-reviewed journals on management and
entrepreneurship in 2001–2016. In order to achieve the purpose, a systematic literature review
was conducted. The analysis of 70 publications identified main approaches to strategic entrepreneurship definition, the stages of development, main research directions and suggested possible
themes for future studies. There were identified three approaches to the study of strategic entrepreneurship: 1) antecedents of strategic entrepreneurship; 2) impact of SE on firm’s performance;
and 3) three-way interaction of antecedents of SE and fi rm’s performance. The mentioned areas
of research were evaluated from the perspective of resource-based view which assumes that the
competitive advantage and value creation depend on the resources that are created or acquired
by a company to implement its strategy, and strategic fit concept that implies a need to align a
company strategy with the conditions of external environment. A possible direction for future
research in this fieeld is the use of configurational approach to the study of strategic entrepreneurship in order to understand which combination of entrepreneurial and strategic action enables
strategic entrepreneurship to be beneficial for the company.2016-12-01T00:00:00ZOn the Anniversary of Professor Nikolay V.

Авторы: Golovacheva, Kseniia S.
Краткий осмотр (реферат): The article aims to develop a conceptual model that integrates main research findings on consumer perception of marketing persuasion and unfolds its content, antecedents, and behavioral consequences. To handle the purpose, the author reviews the related studies published in 1994–2015. The systematic literature review shows that consumer perception of marketing persuasion consists of several perceptual operations, such as recognition, causal interpretation and evaluation of a persuasion attempt. The result of the above operations is a perceptual (mental) image determined by consumer, marketing, and situational factors. Depending on the perceptual image of marketing persuasion formed in the consumer mind, consumers can adopt a variety of tactics to resist persuasion such as counterarguments, discrediting a firm, withdrawal from relationships with a firm, requests to consumer organizations, and market skepticism. The study contributes to marketing persuasion literature by combining conceptual theorizations articulated in the seminal article by Friestad and Wright with empirical evidence appeared afterwards. Thus the theory is enriched and clarifi ed. Firstly, it sheds light upon how different aspects of phenomenon are addressed in the extant studies, and shows how the studies are connected. Secondly, the paper clarifies the content of consumer perception and delineates different perceptual operations. Ultimately, the antecedents and consequences of consumer perception of marketing persuasion are systematized in the article. Considering the fact that consumer perception of marketing persuasion affects consumer response to marketing persuasion attempts, it is reasonable for firms to consider this process before undertaking any marketing action aimed at consumers.2016-12-01T00:00:00ZFeatures of Career Choices through the Generation Theory: The Results of Empirical ResearchVolkova, Natalia V.Chiker, Vera A.http://hdl.handle.net/11701/64972019-05-03T12:07:56Z2016-12-01T00:00:00ZНазвание: Features of Career Choices through the Generation Theory: The Results of Empirical Research
Авторы: Volkova, Natalia V.; Chiker, Vera A.
Краткий осмотр (реферат): The purpose of this paper is to explore the relation between career choice and generational differences in order to understand the professional nature for various age groups. It also offers suggestions for how to estimate career choice using career anchors developed by E. Schein, and level of self-monitoring developed by M. Snyder. The paper reviews the literature on career anchors, self-monitoring and the theory of generation. It also considers their roles for career choice. Our analysis was conducted using two samples; 1) undergraduates studying Management for a second academic year; 2) employees working in two Russian companies. All participants were divided into age groups in line with the theory of generations. Career Orientation Inventory developed by Schein and Self-Monitoring Scale developed by Snyder were used to evaluate the career choice. The study applies factor analysis that separates the leading career anchors for each age group. The findings illustrate differences in attitudes towards career choice across generations. Generation Y both employees and undergraduates demonstrates high self-monitoring and role expectations as the key professional activities. Generation X displays preferences to managerial commitment and independence. Baby Boomers is the only one generation that demonstrates technical/functional competence as a core career anchor. Generation Y both employees and undergraduates, show more similarities than differences in self-monitoring and career orientations thereby proving particular postulates of the generation theory. The research limitations relate to the boundaries of quantitative method. The sample of 240 participants cannot be representative for the whole Russian population. The limited quantity of the research, focusing on differences in career choice across generations in Russia, outlines the importance of future investigations. These findings could become a base for the next studies in this field. Practical implications of these findings are to add potentially major insight into the organizations for selection and training the staff by taking into account career needs of employees relating to their age (generation). Company career management practices should accommodate the differences in career orientations and conform to the organizational needs. The value of the findings is to provide extra opportunities for HR experts in the development of effective career management programme taking into consideration individual characteristics of personnel.2016-12-01T00:00:00ZMarket Extension of Knowledge Intensive Business Services in Russia: Spatial FeaturesKotomina, Olga V.http://hdl.handle.net/11701/64962019-05-22T06:59:32Z2016-12-01T00:00:00ZНазвание: Market Extension of Knowledge Intensive Business Services in Russia: Spatial Features
Авторы: Kotomina, Olga V.
Краткий осмотр (реферат): The literature repeatedly stresses the role of knowledge intensive business services (KIBS) as a provider of knowledge and information to other businesses and organizations. Thus, KIBS are increasingly considered to be the key for regional development at the age of knowledge economy. Nevertheless, few existing studies are dealing with questions of the KIBS sector extension in Russia using micro firm data. This paper presents an analysis of the spatial distribution of KIBS across Russian regions and focuses on the factors determining market extension of KIBS. The study is founded on the unique empirical base derived from the results of mass surveys of more than 650 Russian suppliers of KIBS. Comparative analysis of central and peripheral groups of regions was also conducted. At the first step of investigation it is detected, that Russian KIBS companies are characterized by high concentration in large urban areas due to the presence of more developed infrastructure, higher human capital development, proximity to the large customer, etc. However, companies in the KIBS sector have the potential for development (new knowledge, experience) in collaboration with agents located in other regions. It is established that index of interregional interaction intensity is higher for KIBS producers from peripheral regions. At the next stage of this research six variables were considered: size, experience, service standardization, quality of personnel, personnel costs for a company, and spatial proximity. Our results confirm that four of these variables, but not quality of personnel and personnel costs for a company, correlate with the market extension of KIBS in Russia. It is recognized that spatial proximity is an important factor for both central and peripheral suppliers of KIBS. This paper may be of interest to researchers focusing on the spatial distribution of the elements pertinent to the knowledge economy in Russia. It is also relevant for regional authorities, because it can help them to assess the innovative development capacity of their regions.2016-12-01T00:00:00ZBuilding the Born Globals: Evidence from Bulgarian Manufacturing Family FirmsMarinova, Svetla T.Marinov, Marin A.http://hdl.handle.net/11701/64942019-05-03T12:15:51Z2016-12-01T00:00:00ZНазвание: Building the Born Globals: Evidence from Bulgarian Manufacturing Family Firms
Авторы: Marinova, Svetla T.; Marinov, Marin A.
Краткий осмотр (реферат): The purpose of the paper is to explore the internationalisation of family firms in the manufacturing sector of the Bulgarian economy, answering the questions: why and how these firms internationalise. A qualitative approach was adopted for the study and data were collected via face-to-face interviews with the owner-managers of family firms. The derived information was coded so that the case firms would be analysed using the same approaches. Research findings show that the early internationalisation of the case firms makes them fall into the category of born globals. The main reasons for the early internationalisation of the studied firms were found to be rooted mostly in the protective behaviour of their owners-managers, their personal characteristics and contacts, the specificity of the transitional context and the market limitations among others. This study is pioneering in transition contexts and is expected to be useful for academics, practicians and policy decision-makers.2016-12-01T00:00:00Z
