“…Entrepreneurs emerged from the shadows after the introduction of the Law on Co-operation in the USSR in 1989 under "perestroika" (transition). Reforms in post-Soviet countries involved both "political and economic change, which caused major disruptions and suffering" (Bucknall, 1997(Bucknall, , pp. 1028 at the beginning of reforms.…”

Purpose -This paper studies female entrepreneurship in two post-Soviet countries -Russia and Ukraine. Employing institutional theory, the research aims to investigate the entrepreneurial environment, particularly government support programmes and the availability of financial resources, with a focus on women entrepreneurs. Design/methodology/approach -This research is a qualitative investigation that comprises 60 interviews with Russian and Ukrainian entrepreneurs, bank officers and representatives of government organisations supporting the development of entrepreneurship. Findings -The investigation provides evidence that these countries have overcome the transition from a command to a market economy and local people are gradually adjusting to the new environment. Concentrating on macro/meso and money elements from the 5M model suggested by Brush et al., the authors suggest an additional construct -"motherland" -to embed a context in a new model. Research limitations/implications -Only two factors of Brush et al.'s 5M model were considered -i.e. macro/meso environment and money (availability of financial resources). Discussion of management, marketing and motherhood is beyond the scope of the present paper. Practical implications -The study reveals a broad range of managerial information and empirical data on the development of female entrepreneurship in contemporary Russia and Ukraine. The findings are helpful for policymakers engaged with these two countries. Originality/value -The study is an attempt to capture the context dependency of research on female entrepreneurs, and suggests a new dimension for inclusion in Brush et al.'s 5M model -"motherland".

“…Apart from S&T, the industrial sector in Russia was “seriously ill” before the reform began (Bucknall, 1997) and numerous authors have described elsewhere the main reasons for this state of affairs (Watkins, 2003; OECD, 2004; Gokhberg, 2004; Gokhberg and Shuvalova, 2004; Lachinov, 2005; S&T Overview, 2006; Trifilova et al , 2007). In the words of Watkins (2003, p. 1), the starting point for the development of Russian innovation systems in the 1990s was “a combination of a depressed economic base characterised by a […] depreciating, obsolete industrial capital, and a sophisticated science and technology infrastructure […] a world leader in many fields”.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe seven case studies of university‐industry cooperative partnerships at Nizhny Novgorod Architecture and Civil Engineering State University in Russia. It examines the relationship between green technology and innovation in order to explore how green technologies are developed into successful eco‐innovations following the liberalisation policy which started in the 1990s in the Russian research and development (R&D) sector.Design/methodology/approachThe research adopts a case‐study approach and conducts cross‐case comparative analyses in order to develop insights into the evolution of green technology projects in what was formerly a closed area (Gorky city) prior to the market reforms.FindingsThe technical empirical data included in the cases illustrate how eco‐innovations can arise incrementally from highly structured technical problem spaces, in contradiction with previously published literature which has tended to treat them as more creative and radical innovations arising from the design process. The paper proposes an emergent tentative taxonomy of eco‐innovations based on the findings of cross‐case analysis. Finally, the paper suggests a need to develop the aptitude of the various actors involved in such projects in order to successfully bring them to market.Research limitations/implicationsWhile the findings are not necessarily generalisable to other regions, they suggest that the Russian context may require a more sophisticated, multi‐level analysis of the organisation and management of international manufacturing technology collaborations.Originality/valueThe paper presents seven original case studies of green R&D and describes an emergent taxonomy of eco‐innovations.

In this paper, I try to show and emphasise how China has adopted alternative economic policies in the transition and in the evolution of its financial system. In fact, the 'step by step' or 'gradualism' approach followed is in contrast to the fashionable idea that indiscriminately prescribes market-oriented financial system architecture to emerging and transition economies, and is, I believe, more close to the financial policies recommended by Post-Keynesians.
