Summary

Introduction

The transition from the industrial mitre to the cognitive world that we are witnessing and actively participating in is more like a quantum leap from one reality to another, built on different principles, new values, and a reinterpretation of traditional truths. Business experience is certainly historically significant, but it is less and less used as a basis for modern directors when making important strategic decisions. An information-based economy requires business owners and managers to master the tools for obtaining, processing, broadcasting and preserving information resources, to synthesize new knowledge, to create unique products and services, and to make decisions in conditions of high uncertainty and instability of the environment. At the same time, according to the observations of scientists, experts, and practitioners, today many Russian entrepreneurs and senior managers have an intellectual hunger, due to the fact that they know "their" business very well and manage it quite competently [19, 22]. Quite young Russian businesses as a class today have less and less pragmatic needs related to a global rethinking of the process of creating business models, intellectual communication on topics that are not directly related to their professional sphere
