The paper characterizes some theoretical foundations, historical origins and related modern justification of the economic policy held in Russia nowadays. The mutually agreed postulate of such policy is that it comes from dogmatic, false and harmful ideas about the use of automated mechanisms of market self-organization and non-interference of the state in the regulation aspects. Based initially on the wrong promises, the policy of modern monetarists and monetarism had already led to economic stagnation, recession, had deprived the economy of perspectives and impulses for development. Some recommendations on Russia's withdrawal from the «funnel» of monetarist misconceptions to take the way of sustainable economic development through the use of proven in the successful states mechanisms and measures of state support are done.
Keywords:
management theory, macroeconomic stability, quantity theory of money, inflationary expectations.

The paper considers the theoretical foundations and methodology for the study of cognitive diversity as antecedents of the corporate capacity for change and innovation. It develops the procedure for quantitative analysis of cognitive diversity based on causal maps. The problem of emergence of dominant logic in the Cleantech Industry is approached by analyzing the individual and shared mental models of the members of the director boards. The authors discuss the results of this analysis in the perspective of the impact of diversity among shared mental models of companies and industry on the processes of new knowledge exploration and exploitation.

Keywords:
collaborative interaction, production function, factors of production, the optimal size of the company.

Golichenko O.G., Samovoleva S.A. Complementarity and Substitution in Industrial R&D Activity. // Economics of contemporary Russia 2015. ¹3 (70)
Ñ..
   
The paper proposes macro analysis of business preferences for using internal and external sources of research and development. These preferences are investigated for the business sector as a whole. The higher education and government sectors are taken as the most important external sources for business research and development (R&D). The actions of the business sector are considered in terms of choice of the composition of investment in its research and acquisition of external knowledge. This choice may have dynamic effects of substitution or complementarity. The paper introduces four primary factors that influence the behavior of business sector. That is the main subject of the study. These factors are: a stage of country’s development and economic situation, business conditions, efficacy and dimensions of impact of public policies on R&D. The work carries out cross-country comparisons of complementarity and substitution effects in the use of business R&D sources as well as the shifts in business preferences. The comparison has been made within two groups of countries for 2000–2010.
Keywords:
research and development, investment, internal and external sources, shift of business preferences, effect of substitution, effect of complementarity.

Ptuskin A.S., Levner E.V. A Model of Project Selection for Reducing Strategic Environmental Risks at Industrial Enterprises. // Economics of contemporary Russia 2015. ¹3 (70) Ñ..
   
The paper considers the problem of project selection aimed at reducing environmental strategic risks at industrial enterprises. The implementation of such projects should support a correspondence between planned and actual strategic environmental performance characteristics. To identify the strategic environmental risks we propose a hierarchical structure of the environmental strategy at the enterprises. Basing on the methodology of the information-entropy approach we develop a computational procedure that allows to identify the most critical strategic environmental performance characteristics and corresponding production processes. A mathematical model of selection of risk-avoiding strategic environmental projects is developed.
Keywords:
ecological strategy, ecological strategic risk, information-entropy approach, selection of ecologic strategic projects.
