Explores the obstacles facing trans‐national corporations (TNC) considering FDI in Russia. Dunning (1994) suggests that countries’ abilities to attract and exploit the potential economic benefits of inbound FDI vary according to their national political, economic and legal cultures, traditions and infrastructures, together with the economic objectives and policies pursued by host governments. This paper seeks to make use of Dunning’s model, in exploring the obstacles to FDI in modern Russia, and their implications for TNCs. The papers’ findings suggest that Russia’s relative lack of success in attracting FDI and exploiting its potential benefits during the 1990s can be attributed to her national infrastructural factors and government policies, as Dunning’s model suggests. Russia’s ability to attract a larger share of FDI in future seems likely to be constrained by national ambivalence towards the benefits of FDI, together with the political and economic realities of her current situation.
Abstract. The purpose of the study is to develop the theoretical and methodological provisions, as well as the practical recommendations for the management of the innovative development of the industrial enterprises of a vertically integrated structure, which is considered as one of the mechanisms to improve its competitiveness. The article analyzes the technology of the innovative development of the economic systems, examines the current trends and identified the problems of the management of their innovative development, studies the technology of the management parameters of the life cycle of the products in the industrial enterprises and forms the criteria for the effectiveness of the innovative development management. The result of the study is the development of a structural and parametric model of the innovative enterprise management and the creation of a mechanism to improve the efficiency of its activities.
The paper analyzes modern energy-efficient technologies, both being applied, and only introduced into the application in the construction of high-rise residential buildings. All technologies are systematized by the authors as part of a unified model of "Arrows of Energy-Efficient Technologies", which imply performing energy-saving measures in the design, construction and operation of buildings.
The transport system of the Russian Federation includes not only railway, automobile, air, sea and river transport, but also main gas and oil pipelines. Given the volume and variety of modes of transport, the introduction of measures to improve energy efficiency in the transport sector will save significant amounts of fuel and energy resources. In the light of the annual increase in energy consumption, the degree of negative impact on the environment and the amount of emissions of harmful substances, energy saving issues in transport make this issue even more important. The article describes the dynamics of the Russian car market for the previous year, shows the key ways to improve energy efficiency and energy saving in road transport.
