Over the past twenty years, several countries in Europe, Central
and South America and Asia have undergone a transition from a
planned economy to a market economy. Some observers have described
this process as perhaps the biggest economic experiment of the last
few centuries. However, knowledge about how this process affects
business in these countries remains limited. The task of this book
is to increase our understanding about how business changes at the
micro level during the transition to a market economy.
The focus of this book is placed on the Russian market, as
Russia is one of the biggest countries currently making the
transition. The book takes as its point of departure the
observation that firms and managers perceive the management of
networks of relationships with customers and suppliers to be their
greatest challenge. It presents a case study, which covers the
period from 1986 to 1998, and analyses and explains how business
networks in Russia have changed over the past fifteen years.
Moreover, it identifies the driving factors in the process of
moving away from plan-governance and toward the development of
business relationships characterised by mutuality, stability and
identity.
