Summary: A frank, enlightening & objective look at Russian business.
Comment: This book is the only one I know of that has been written in
recent times that has looked at Russian business in an
objective way. Although the media tends to make judgements
about different cultures, this book, as far as I see, is
judgement free. One part I loved about the book, is that it
starts off with the fact that the old stories of shortages
are passé (this pleased me because after I returned from
living in Belarus, many people asked me if there was food
on the shelves of stores. After a while I started to get
annoyed with people for asking me this when I found that
shopping in Belarus, the Ukraine, and in Russia was still
faster than your ordinary grocery line up in most other
countries). For people interested in Russian business,
this is an amazing book for learning about the psyche of
the Russian consumer and the reasoning behind why Russian
business is the way it is. More generally, however, this
book has a broader appeal to those that are interested in
people around the world. Whereas most books tend to take
a stand on issues either for or against, the authors simply
describe a situation, and allow readers to draw their own
conclusions, which most of the time lead a person with at
least an intermediate level of reasoning skills to realize
that Russian business practices and ethics are not
necessarily better or worse than those in our respective
countries, just different, and that in a broader sense, the
history of a country plays a very large role in the
determination of how business practices are carried out,
as well as what is and isn't considered ethical. Another
advantage of this book is that it is up-to-date from people
in a good position to know. Although I am unaware of Mr.
Wilson's profession in St. Petersburg, I knew beforehand
that Mr. Donaldson is an editor for the St. Petersburg Press,
who has the initial perception of a Westerner, but the
experience of a native, which holds a lot more credibility
with me than a professor who has read books on the subject,
analysed press releases from accross the ocean, etc. to
deliver information to the readers.
Definitely worth reading!!!
