Abstract
Two American economists use their recent (1994 through 1996) survey data to evaluate Russian managers as winners or losers in the country's economic reform. The survey covered 123 enterprises located in Moscow, Tver', Nizhniy Novgorod, Rostov, Taganrog, Volgograd, Volzhskiy, and Novosibirsk. A total of 159 interviews, involving top-level managers, were conducted to elicit information on compensation, decision making, workforce size, structure of overhead costs, asset stripping, and survival strategies. The interviews, most in privatized (N= 107) and private (N= 31) firms, embraced 64 in heavy industry, 35 in light industry, 29 in food processing, 25 in service, and 4 in other industries. The study reports empirical results of the testing of five hypotheses, as well as concluding observations.
