Who cut the ribbon? A quantitative analysis of formal opening ceremonies of new plants of multinational corporations in Russia
This paper reports on a study of formal opening ceremonies of new plants of multinational corporations in Russia.

The database embraces the entire population of public opening ceremo…

We demonstrate that foreign companies in general were capable of overcoming the adverse economic conditions of 201…

Privatization as a Socioeconomic Phenomenon

This makes the transition to a market economy more painful, and workers at all levels face unaccustomed difficulties associated with the survival of enterprises and their conversion to forms of economic management more suited to the new socioeconomic realities. Economic adaptation (searching for invest…
