“…Psychological characteristics were also studied, with the conclusion that compared to non-entrepreneurs, the entrepreneurial group had a stronger internal locus of control and a lower belief that powerful others controlled their economic fate (Green et al, 1996). The ethical orientation of entrepreneurs (Radaev, 1994(Radaev, , 2004 was studied, as was the entrance of Russian women into the entrepreneurial arena (McCarthy et al, 1997a(McCarthy et al, , 1997bWells et al, 2003).

This paper reviews a large number of works published over the past 25 years on many topics of business and management in Russia. The topics are grouped into two major categories -macro and micro, with entrepreneurship covered separately. A brief summary is presented for most individual works. We conclude with implications for practice directed toward Western and Russian managers, as well as policy implications for Western and Russian policymakers. The paper is intended as a resource for researchers focusing on Russian business and management, and for educators, practitioners, and policymakers with interests in this field.

“…: (781) 891-2198; e-mail: tmanolova@bentley.edu Surprisingly, empirical research to date has not yet come up with valid scales for measuring the complex effect of the institutional environment for unlocking entrepreneurial phenomena in emerging economies. A large part of the research has been either case-based (McCarthy, Puffer, & Naumov, 1997;Peng, 2001), or predominantly looked at the regulatory (formal) environment (Acs, Arenius, Hay, & Minniti, 2004;Djankov, La Porta, Lopez-de-Silanes, & Shleifer, 2002). This gap in extant research led to calls for the development of "good constructs and measures to capture countries' informal institutions (in addition to formal institutions)" (Meyer & Peng, 2005, p. 613; and see Hitt, Holmes, Miller, & Salmador, 2006).…”

In this article, we sought to empirically validate an instrument for measuring country institutional profiles for the promotion of entrepreneurship in a sample of 254 business students from three emerging economies: Bulgaria, Hungary, and Latvia. Results from the confirmatory factor analysis suggest high reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the instrument. Further, we find important differences in the three dimensions (regulatory, cognitive, and normative) of the institutional profiles across the three emerging economies, reflecting their idiosyncratic cultural norms and values, traditions, and institutional heritage in promoting entrepreneurship. Implications for future research, managerial practice, and public policy are discussed.

“…Most of them were employees dismissed from state businesses because of their closure. Their main motivations identified were: "being able to control one's own destiny, the situation"; "being your own boss", "want to bind your professional and personal life", "live to work" in the sense of doing the work that really pleases you and not just the work that comes to meet your family's needs, and the "desire to create a good material situation" (McCarthy et al, 1997). Entrepreneurship is perceived by the population as a way to improve their daily lives and to have a higher income level compared to an employee, which will help to better cope with instability (Chepurenko & Iakovlev, 2013).…”

The main goal of this research is to examine the motivation of entrepreneurs from Moscow and the Moscow region in conducting entrepreneurial activity in present economic conditions, and to identify the obstacles slowing down this activity. For implementing this goal a survey of 63 small business owners was conducted. To collect the data, authors selected the ME (micro-enterprise), the SB (small business) and the SME (small and medium-sized enterprise). The actors questioned were entrepreneurs and more particularly the heads of companies running an ME, SB or SME in Moscow and its regions. Using research methods as factor analysis and Cronbach’s Alpha, a hierarchy of the different motives and entrepreneurial barriers were constructed. Investigation results show that regarding motivations of entrepreneurs, 4 components were obtained: extrinsic motivations composed of 4 items, intrinsic motivations composed of 6 items, motivations linked to independence and autonomy with 3 items and motivations related to the safety and well-being of the family with 3 items. In terms of barriers or obstacles encountered by Russian entrepreneurs, in regards with the literature review, we obtained 5 components: barriers of legitimacy consisting of 3 items, administrative barriers with 3 items, financial barriers with 2 items, managerial barriers with 3 items and finally competitive barriers with 3 items. The novelty of this study is to improve knowledge of the motivations and barriers that entrepreneurs in Moscow and its region encounter in the course of their activity.
