“…Some of the authors express the opinion that the intelligence-type methods of analysis, which were specially created and piloted, provide the opportunities to assess the external environment of the corporation or the company accurately, which helps to take effective strategic decisions (Hilmola, Henttu 2015). In order to apply the competitive intelligence methods of analysis not only it is necessary to collect and interpret the nonquantitative indexes and the information about the financial situation of the corporation, the sales and the situation in the market but also to get the information about the actions of the rivals, the actions of the supervisory institutions, technologies and other factors, which would help the specialists of the competitive intelligence to analyze and assess thoroughly the data, which is required for the competitive intelligence analysis.…”

In completing a competitors’ analysis in the railway sector by using the “Knowledge House” method, there is frequently a problem of data and information accessibility. The quality of primary information has direct influence on the quality of analytical conclusions. One more condition for the qualitative application of this method is the intellectual capital and experience of the analyst. One should note that in this regard we face another problem, that of selection of proper personnel, on the qualification of whom depends the accuracy of the evaluation and final results, on the basis of which strategic decisions are taken. The main aim of the paper is to assess the opportunities for applications of competitive intelligence methods in the railway sector. The study is using “Knowledge House”, DWS, DMS, DSS methodologies. Having analysed the scientific works the direct scientific sources of information, which are oriented to the application of the methods of competitive intelligence to the railway sector, have not been identified. The paper is absolutely original in that until now the competitive intelligence techniques have not been applied for the railway sector companies. Considering the fact that foreign companies, which compete for freighting at the international level, are regarded as the main competitors of the railway sector, the use of the methods of the competitive intelligence becomes more important while fighting for the part of the market. The competitive intelligence methods and their application to the railway sector companies are little studied. In accordance with application of the relevant methods in other sectors, it can be assumed that these innovative approaches could have a positive impact on the competitiveness of companies in the railway sector and their income.

“…The transportation infrastructure in European Russia is also being revived, especially by developing ports in the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. Russia’s Baltic Sea coast is being developed as a commercial transportation hub, gradually ending reliance on Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania for transit (Hilmola & Henttu, , p. 75). The Russian Deputy Prime Minister earlier argued that Russia aims to “fully remove our dependence on foreign ports in the foreseeable future” (Mullett, ).…”

The Geoeconomics of Russia’s Greater Eurasia Initiative

Moscow is gradually replacing geopolitics with geoeconomics as power is recognized to originate from asymmetrical economic dependence. Geoeconomics entails state support for asserting control over strategic industries, transportation corridors, and instruments for international economic cooperation. Moscow endeavors to reposition Russia away from the dual periphery of Europe and East Asia by creating a new Eurasian constellation. Eurasian integration aims to reduce the excessive reliance on Western‐centric supply chains and shift the “balance of dependence.” Diversifying economic connectivity within Greater Eurasia is imperative to ensure that Russia’s excessive reliance on the West is not merely replaced with disproportionate dependence on China.

“…The situation is not so good within plain import and export to east, especially with Russia. This is mostly explained by the decline of heavy industry production volumes, especially of paper in Finland during this period, and also by the increase of duties for imported wood (2006, 2007, 2008Finnish Transport Agency (2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015.

“…After the Asian (Das 2012) and Russian currency (Chiodo & Owyang 2002) crises of 1997-1998 and the end of the IT bubble burst (years 2002-2003), emerging markets around the world grew tremendously, and this was particularly the case for countries such as China and Russia. The Russian economy was actually growing at a rate of 5-10% per year and the currency was strengthening against main currencies such as USD (Mironov & Petronevich 2015).…”
