Some pure players are still witnessing fast growth, while 3 others are facing financial difficulties with some even going bankrupt. Most major offline retailers and manufacturers keep 4 developing online and mobile sales channels and the 4 related infrastructure. Since 2014, venture investment activity has decreased 5 considerably – but some investors are still interested in e-commerce related services. Most large and mid-sized cities are served by shipment 6 companies in satisfactory conditions, while the Russian Post is reforming itself to improve service. Cash-on-delivery is the rule for physical goods and will 7 remain so for a long time, even though the use of electronic payments is increasing slowly. The lack of qualified human resources appears to be 8 one of the most painful issues, hampering the entire Internet industry. Cross-border flows from China are increasing dramatically 9 while most western online retailers have seen their sales to Russia fall due to the ruble’s depreciation since 2014. 6 E-COMMERCE IN RUSSIA MARKET INSIGHTS To request more detailed data and analysis, or strategic advice, on the Russian e-commerce market, please contact East-West Digital News at [email protected] 7 E-COMMERCE IN RUSSIA Market insights 1. The Russian Internet market 1.1. Internet penetration Russia, which lagged far behind most other European countries in terms of Internet penetration in the recent past (with a 37% penetration rate in 2010), has been catching up rapidly over the past few years. In late 2015, according to a GfK poll, Internet penetration exceeded 70%, with 84 million Russians aged 16 or more — up 4 million in one year — declaring that they use the Internet. Much of the growth can be attributed to mobile connectivity. According to GfK, mobile Internet access in Russia more than doubled during the year. By the end of 2015, 37.5% of users 16 and older went online by way of their phone and 19.5% from tablets (up from 17.6% and 8.4%, respectively, in 2014). Thus approximately 50 million Russian users (42% of the adult population) accessed the Internet from mobile devices as of late 2015. 1.2. Regional contrasts Russians in bigger cities and primarily Moscow are more practiced Internet users. The Internet penetration in Moscow exceeds the country average and has a significantly higher mobile and tablet uses than other areas. Russians from places with smaller populations are less practiced Internet users but the regions are slowly catching up with larger cities thanks in large part to mobile accessibility. Often the lower costs of mobile connectivity encourage Internet use.1 Among the key factors explaining these regional contrasts are differences in the standard of living, purchasing power and development of broadband and wireless Internet access, as well as computer and Internet literacy. In 2015 almost three quarters of all Russian Internet users lived in the European part of Russia. 1.3. Russian audience worldwide Total Russian-speaking audience nears 110 million users, taking into account an approximate 25 million Russian-speaking users in the former Soviet republics, Western Europe, Israel and North America 1. http://russiansearchmarketing.com/everything-mobile-devices-platforms-and-cost-of-connectivity-in-russia-2015/ INDUSTRY ANNOUNCEMENT Managing E-Commerce Operations in Russia 20 events each year in Moscow http://business-breakfast.ewdn.com 8 E-COMMERCE IN RUSSIA Market insights Internet penetration in Russia (16 y.o. and older), 2008-2015 Types of Internet use by age in 2015 Mobile Internet penetration (16 y.o. and older), 2013-2015 Source: GfK Omnibus survey 2015, all Russia, 16+ 9 E-COMMERCE IN RUSSIA Market insights Distribution of Internet users by federal district (spring 2015) !

The domestic online retail market 2.1. Market size and 2015 trends With 160 million small packages and parcels sent to online consumers in 2015, up 10% from the previous year, Russia’s domestic online retail market grew in real terms. It also grew in rubles, reaching some 650 billion (+16%), with an average order value amounting to some 4,050 rubles (up from 3,750 rubles in 2014), according to Data Insight.

  • Knowledge Transfer Between Russian and Western Firms
    Michailova and Jormanainen “Knowledge transfer between Russian and Western firms: Whose absorptive capacity is in question?”: A reply Michailova and Jormanainen (forthcoming) are trying to challenge the mainstream (or, rather, expressed in rare papers on Russian management in A and B-level journals) conviction that the “deep and wide stream of Western business knowledge is flowing to Russia, but due to the limited absorptive capacity of Russian firms that flow does not allow to irrigate properly the somehow virgin land of the 6th largest world economy, but creates instead swamps and “quagmires” that engulf even the most ambitious initiatives to enhance value creation”. They put forward three major arguments: Soviet experience and knowledge is still valid and forms a background for actions of Russian firms; Soviet experience serves as a “sieve” for cautious imitation and selective acquisition of Western business models and management techniques; Some aspects of genuine Russian business techniques should be properly used by foreign companies operating in Russia, and also may have wider impact on international practices of leading MNCs. Michailova and Jormanainen have strong personal interests in defending such arguments. As by their own words “Half and a third of [their] lives respectively so far has been split between living in [their] native countries and the West”, they are proud to demonstrate that the Western education they received is properly used to create knowledge valuable to the global academic audience. We do not intend to attack their arguments as we consider them correct in many aspects. However, we must admit that Michailova and Jormanainen presented a complex phenomenon of knowledge transfer in a rather simplistic way.

  • The Trump-Russia Collusion Case
    The Trump-Russia Collusion Case Updated to August 2020 Source: http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/trumptraitor.html For those who have been following this page for a while: my main target is not Trump, my target is Putin. Putin, not Trump, is the most dangerous person in the world. Trump is just a lackey, a small-time crook and bit-time liar whom Putin is using to attack the USA. The problem is not that there is no evidence of Trump-Putin collusion, the problem is that there is too much of it. I have added some background about the motive of Russia's interference in US politics. In my opinion, it was not only a general attempt at undermining US institutions (that came later) but originally it was a determined effort to make sure that Hillary Clinton did not become president. Putin feared her more than anyone else. For those who have NOT followed this page from the beginning: this website was one of the first to talk about the Trump-Russia collusion at a time when few dared mention the Steele dossier. Just to be very clear: this is not about whether Russia's interference changed the results of the election (i personally think that the FBI investigation into Clinton's email server had a much bigger impact). It is about Putin's strategy to attack the USA, and, secondly, it is about the extent of Trump's collaboration with Putin. And, just to be fair, Putin's Russia is not the only country that ever interfered in US politics.

Sadly, the facts seem to point to a self-styled Facebook ―ecosystem‖ of principals who are pressing an internationalist agenda that undermines U.S. sovereignty and corrupts U.S. financial and judicial systems. They are also exploiting the innovations and stolen intellectual property from Ohio- based Leader Technologies to achieve their goal. Facebook has one billion users—three times the U.S. population. Their continued unscrupulousness cannot be anything other than an external shock to our financial system. Congress needs to act to prevent more damage. LAWRENCE SUMMERS Lawrence Summers, who has held numerous senior positions in both the Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama White Houses, looms large in this Facebook ―ecosystem,‖ as do two of his protégés, American Sheryl Sandberg and Russian Juri Milner.

  • How Private Capital in Education Is Increasing Access, Inspiring
    Driving Grades, Driving Growth: By Ashwin Assomull, How Private Capital in Education Maryanna Abdo, Roisin Pelley is Increasing Access, Inspiring Parthenon-EY Innovation and Improving Outcomes CONTENTS FOREWORD 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 4 I- CONTEXT 12 II- THE ROLE OF PRIVATE CAPITAL 18 III- CASE STUDIES 32 IV- LESSONS FROM EXPERIENCE 66 V- CONCLUSION 78 GLOSSARY 80 ABOUT THE AUTHORS 82 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 83 REFERENCES 85 WORKS CITED 89 The views and opinions in this publication are solely those of the authors. FOREWORD Economic growth and quality education are strongly correlated. Economic growth leads to increased demand for quality education, which in turn contributes to higher levels of economic growth and so on. And yet for a large number of developing countries this virtuous cycle is under threat. Public education systems are over burdened and often lack the human and financial resources and capacities to deal with rapid increases in demand for more and better education. Private and philanthropic capital has stepped in to fill the void and as this report argues, these interventions should be largely welcomed and harnessed to improve education systems across the board. As the case studies presented reveal, privately funded education organizations have shown themselves to be more willing to take risks, are quicker to innovate and expand, and are more focused on outcomes. In this regard they have in general done a much better job in fulfilling the educational aspirations of the growing middle classes across emerging markets. While the report is supportive of private investment in education, it is also acutely aware of the risks involved when “private capital engages with public goods.” Among the acknowledged risks is the danger that profits take precedence over societal impact and that private investment in education will exacerbate inequality.

The news was disclosed by confidential sources, and follows previous reports that Square was beginning to file last month. Jack Dorsey’s dazzling startup promised to transform the credit and finance industry with a sweeping, digitized vision of the future. Square, which offers credit card payments to small businesses, has become an increasingly powerful player in the crowded payments industry.

  • The Breakthrough Initiatives: the Search for Life in the Universe
    The Breakthrough Initiatives: The Search for Life in the Universe Simon P. Worden Breakthrough Prize Foundation October 5, 2016 4:00 p.m. - Wilson Hall, One West On July 20, 2015 at the Royal Society, London, UK Yuri Milner and Professor Stephen Hawking announced the Breakthrough Listen Initiative. It is designed to look for signals from an intelligent civilization in our galaxy or beyond. This SETI search is orders of magnitude more encompassing and complete than any previous search. In addition, On April 12, 2016, in New York, NY, USA Milner and Hawking announced a new Initiative, Breakthrough StarShot designed to send a gram-class interstellar probe to Alpha Centauri within a generation. Each Initiative is initially funded at $100 million (US) from private sources. In January of this year Breakthrough Listen began observations on the Green Bank Observatory 100 meter radio telescope, the world’s largest steered radio antenna. We have twice the bandwidth of any previous SETI search. We’ve observed 200 of the stars nearest to the earth and 40 of the nearest galaxies. In the near future we will observe all stars within 25 light years of earth and those stars within 250 light years that are similar to the sun – over 1700 stars. With the addition of the Australian Parkes Radio Telescope located in the southern hemisphere later in 2016, we will be able to access the entire sky. We also began optical observations on the Lick Observatory Automated Planet Finder Telescope. With it we look for optical, as well as radio signals. This is particularly important in light of Project StarShot as we will be looking for laser signals similar to what we will be using to direct the StarChip interstellar probe.

    NCSEJ WEEKLY TOP 10 Washington, D.C. May 25, 2018 Secretary of State promises appointment of special envoy to monitor anti-Semitism Jewish News Syndicate, May 24, 2018 https://www.jns.org/secretary-of-state-promises-appointment-of-special-envoy-to-monitor-anti-semitism/ At a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo promised that he would work towards an appointment of a Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism. During testimony in front of the House committee, Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.H.), a senior member of the committee, had asked the Pompeo to act on the appointment of the vacant Special Envoy position. “And in 2004, I authored the Anti-Semitism Special Envoy. That, too, has not been filled,” Smith said to Pompeo of the vacancy. “And I know that you care deeply about combating the scourge of anti-Semitism, which is rising all over the globe. Please move on that as well.” “You have my word,” Pompeo told Smith in response. The Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism heads the State Department office responsible for leading U.S. efforts to counter anti-Semitism around the globe. The exchange in Congress came after a letter, spearheaded by the leaders of the Bipartisan Taskforce for Combating Anti-Semitism—Reps. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), Chris Smith (R-N.J.), Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.), Ileana Ros- Lehtinen (R-Fl.), Ted Deutch (D-Fl.), Marc Veasey (D-Texas) and Kay Granger (R-Texas)—was sent to Pompeo and signed by 120 members of Congress.
