Corporate Governance and Finance in Poland and Russia

Is corporate control in Russia and Poland shaped by the initial privatisation methods? What is the impact of the government? What is the role played by industrial networks and cross-ownership? By the banks and the capital markets? What are the factors behind some spectacular corporate failures? And how is our understanding enhanced by the resource based-, strategy- and political economy- perspectives, which complement the economic approach? Addressing these questions, this book draws conclusions, which in their comparative aspects reach beyond these two major transition economies.
