ABSTRACTS
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.
Volkonsky D.A. Theoretical Fundamentals of Ideology. //
Economics of contemporary Russia 2015. ¹3 (70) Ñ..
The
availability of system of concepts about the society and history structure,
sense and ethical attitudes (ideology), unifying and consolidating the society,
is the most important mowing force of the social and economic development. The
paper proposes a system of most common postulates, facts, trends describing the
actual world situation. In the author’s opinion, it should be the basis for
discussions and further elaborates. For the coming historical period, the main
feature of an ideological concept is searching the possibilities for the
development without wars. All standoffs and conflicts must be overcome within the
spirit–intellectual and cultural areas.
Keywords: ideological
area, civilization poles, elites, open economies, autarchy of the big regions,
financial system, social clusters, market mechanism, planning.
Andrukovich P.F. Dow–Jones Industrial Average Index: From Industrial to Postindustrial
State. // Economics of contemporary
Russia 2015. ¹3 (70) Ñ..
This paper analyzes some changes in the list
structure of the Dow–Jones Industrial Average index (DJIA) which took place
during the late XIX – early XXI century. It identifies several stages that
marked the transition of the DJIA list structure from purely industrial to
«postindustrial», reflecting the major institutional and technological changes
in the US economy. This analysis is made at the level of both individual
companies and industry groups. Changes in the composition of these groups are
further compared with shifts in the structure of the US GDP in different times.
Both objective and subjective main factors affecting frequency, intensity and
timing of these changes in the stock indexes list structure are described.
Keywords: Dow–Jones
index, company, delisting, technology structure, institutional changes,
postindustrial era, human factor, microeconomics, mesoeconomics,
macroeconomics, US GDP.

Platonov V.V., Bergman Y.-P., Luukka P. Cognitive Diversity
and Emerging of the Dominant Logic of Innovative Companies. // Economics of contemporary Russia 2015.
¹3 (70) Ñ..
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: cognitive
diversity, dominant logic, innovation-driven development, cognitive mapping,
causal maps; strategic decisions.

Researched
and assessed for significance were calculated based indicators of economic
efficiency of agricultural production in Russia from a number of the important
but previously neglected factors – composition of investments from different
investors, their participation in the production, direction and nature of the
use of the attachments. The implications concerning the most effective measures
to strengthen the investment activity in the agricultural sector are formulated.

Byvshev V.A., Chistov D.V. Collaborative Interaction and the
Optimal Size of the Company. //
Economics of contemporary Russia 2015. ¹3 (70) Ñ..
The
purpose of this article is to explain a popular principle of collaborative
interaction in business by means of the model of the optimum size of the
company. A company that is using collaborative interaction reduces production
costs at the expense of reducing the price of a fixed capital.
This article was
prepared as a result of research carried out at the expense of State budget
funds in the Financial University under the Government of the Russian
Federation in 2014.
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.

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.
