There is a gap in knowledge in studies in innovative entrepreneurship development regarding the required level of education for innovative Russian entrepreneurs, which is necessary for independent business development in Russia. This paper attempts to find out extra managerial and innovative skills that are useful for further development of new innovative enterprises. To do this we made a survey of professional experience and education of Russian startup founders. We collected 92 CVs, which are our base for this research. Results are following: the majority of innovative entrepreneurs work in IT, they have a higher educational degree in Computer Science and Mathematics, and they have a professional experience including managerial one in large firms. The minority have an education related to innovative entrepreneurship and a third have MBA degree. Finally, we made conclusions about the further education of innovative entrepreneurs, which is based on knowledge management theories.
Covers the basics of the theory of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activity.
Cities have a crucial role in the development of regions through the development of innovation. When considering the old industrial cities there is a contradiction. On the one hand, this is the need for innovative cities developing as the main drivers of regional development, on the other - the old-industrial nature of the “core” of a given region. This allows us to formulate a hypothesis: the development of old industrial regions will be associated with maintaining current trends without prioritizing sustainable spatial development, as old industrial centers will not be able to ensure the involvement of these regions in economic growth.
The paper examines the structure, governance, and balance sheets of state-controlled banks in Russia, which accounted for over 55 percent of the total assets in the country's banking system in early 2012. The author offers a credible estimate of the size of the country's state banking sector by including banks that are indirectly owned by public organizations. Contrary to some predictions based on the theoretical literature on economic transition, he explains the relatively high profitability and efficiency of Russian state-controlled banks by pointing to their competitive position in such functions as acquisition and disposal of assets on behalf of the government. Also suggested in the paper is a different way of looking at market concentration in Russia (by consolidating the market shares of core state-controlled banks), which produces a picture of a more concentrated market than officially reported. Lastly, one of the author's interesting conclusions is that China provides a better benchmark than the formerly centrally planned economies of Central and Eastern Europe by which to assess the viability of state ownership of banks in Russia and to evaluate the country's banking sector.
Students' internet usage attracts the attention of many researchers in different countries. Differences in internet penetration in diverse countries lead us to ask about the interaction of medium and culture in this process. In this paper we present an analysis based on a sample of 825 students from 18 Russian universities and discuss findings on particularities of students' ICT usage. On the background of the findings of the study, based on data collected in 2008-2009 year during a project "A сross-cultural study of the new learning culture formation in Germany and Russia", we discuss the problem of plagiarism in Russia, the availability of ICT features in Russian universities and an evaluation of the attractiveness of different categories of ICT usage and gender specifics in the use of ICT.
