It aims to analyse their motives to internationalise as well as the approaches to internationalisation. While relevance of the theoretical perspectives is highlighted, the intention of the paper is to contribute to the understanding of the present-day phenomenon of emerging Russian multinationals; a phenomenon that has been largely overshadowed by the remarkable rise of Chinese and Indian companies. A special attention is devoted to the R&D activities of Russian multinational companies, and access to foreign technology as a driver of corporate restructuring. A discussion of the challenges and opportunities for host countries and policy implications is provided.

  • An Overview of Boards of Directors at Russia's Largest
    An Overview of Boards of Directors at Russia’s Largest Public Companies Andrei Rakitin Milena Barsukova Arina Mazunova Translated from Russian August 2020 Key Results According to information disclosed by 109 of Russia’s largest public companies: • “Classic” board compositions of 11, nine, and seven seats prevail • The total number of persons on Boards of the companies under study is not as low as it might seem: 89% of all Directors were elected to only one such Board • Female Directors account for 12% and are more often elected to the audit, nomination, and remuneration committees than to the strategy committee • Among Directors, there are more “humanitarians” than “techies”, while the share of “techies” among chairs is greater than across the whole sample • The average age for Directors is 53, 56 for Chairmen, and 58 for Independent Directors • Generation X is the most visible on Boards, and Generation Y Directors will likely quickly increase their presence if the development of digital technologies continues • The share of Independent Directors barely reaches 30%, and there is an obvious lack of independence on key committees such as audit • Senior Independent Directors were elected at 17% of the companies, while 89% of Chairs are not independent • The average total remuneration paid to the Board of Directors is RUR 69 million, with the difference between the maximum and minimum being 18 times • Twenty-four percent of companies disclosed information on individual payments made to their Directors. According to this, the average total remuneration is approximately RUR 9 million per annum for a Director, RUR 17 million for a Chair, and RUR 11 million for an Independent Director The comparison of 2020 findings with results of a similar study published in 2012 paints an interesting dynamic picture.
