Review of the monograph by Nikita I. Sasaev "The Russian Gas Industry Strategizing: The Far Eastern Vector"

Abstract

In an unsteady economic environment, the Far Eastern Federal District, as one of the most promising macro-regions of Russia, has the necessary resource and technological capacities to make a breakthrough in socio-economic development. In the Russian Far East, the gas industry can be a potential driver of economic development, as on its functioning and growth the whole range of interests and large-scale strategic opportunities are concentrated. Implementation of strategic opportunities by individual projects in most cases will bring only targeted short-term success. Therefore, it is crucial to apply an integrated approach, which involves elaboration and further implementation of a full-fledged industry strategy incorporated into the overall strategy system. The monograph The Russian Gas Industry Strategizing: The Far Eastern Vector continues the book series of the Strategy of the Russian Far East Library and is aimed at developing a strategy concept for the Far Eastern gas industry that takes into account the full range of interests, strategic trends and opportunities. The author of the monograph formulates effective theoretical and methodological provisions for elaboration and implementation of such strategies, underpins strategic priorities and practical solutions for long-term development of the gas industry of the Far East. The book will be useful for scientists, teachers, and students studying the theory of strategy and the practice of strategizing.
