Abstract

This paper studies the small and often overlooked group of internationally created research-driven ventures and discusses their impact on Russia. Building on previously established networks which allow new knowledge-intense assets to be formed, these companies introduce novel products and processes to the Russian market and develop them further. While such ventures get access to knowledge generated outside Russia, they also benefit greatly from their partners’ ecosystems which allow them to avoid the obstacles in their home markets. Thereby, they increase their learning opportunities beyond the rather restricting Russian environment and learn much about international entrepreneurship.

Other models proposed by Madsen and Servais (1997) or Rialp et al. (2005) also identify the unique firm-specific resources for competition in international markets (Jones et al. 2011; Knight and Cavusgil 2004).

Performed biannually by HSE’s Institute for Statistical Studies and Economics of Knowledge (ISSEK) since 2009 within the framework of the European Manufacturing Survey (http://www.isi.fraunhofer.de/isi-en/i/projekte/fems.php), the Monitoring of Innovation Activities survey is an internationally harmonized survey aimed at collecting a broad range of indicators on innovation and other dimensions of companies’ strategies. The data on Russia are discussed in for example, Gokhberg, Kuznetsova 2011, and Zaichenko at al. 2014.
