Собственные ноу-хау, использование консультационных услуг и взаимодействие с другими компаниями как основные источники управленческих инноваций для компаний, действующих на российском рынке

Abstract

Innovations in management is one of the most relevant research topics within the global academic community, and the one that encourages the development of multinational companies. The purpose of this article is to examine the key sources of managerial innovations within Russian and multinational companies operating on the Russian market. The empirical study is based on a sample of over 1,000 employees from nearly 800 companies operating in Moscow and the Moscow Region The findings show the importance of “internal know-how” and “access to consulting services” as the key drivers of managerial innovations for companies operating on the Russian market. “Collaboration with other Russian players” is limited mainly to Russian companies. The “collaboration with multinational players” is an underdeveloped source of managerial innovations among Russian companies, resulting in the slowdown of Russian managerial practices’ development. The analysis traces the correlation between managerial innovations’ drivers and the type of economic activity, size of business and the degree of internationalization. The study reveals specific features that contribute to overall understanding of the research topic and its implications.
