Description
Summary:The opening first of the Soviet and subsequently Russian economy finally exposed it legitimately to global standards; so too, the management of research and development (R&D), which is the subject of this book. The work offers an up-to-date review of the status of Soviet R&D and its positionin the Soviet-style economic system, based on the use of previously unpublished sources (including personal interviews) and existing Western literature. The study provides a thorough historical and international comparison of the extent of resources constituting the Soviet R&D community and its effort and output to a wide range of large and small, Western and Eastern nations. A key aspect of the book is the emphasisof valuable elements of the R&D establishment and accompanying components created under the former communist regime in essentially Russia's bid to rejoin the world scientific and economic communities, and to discuss the requirements for a new style of R&D management to complement such a formidable goal. The book also alludes to the potential economic impact for the Russian and world economies should Russian R&D be harnessed to generate economic growth under the emerging market principles.
