Russia has a very different and rather unique business environment at the present. To successfully do business in Russia, it is necessary to understand the changes that have taken place, as well as the current business philosophy prevalent here. You must also be patient and flexible. Russian manufacturing and service industries today are simply strapped for operating capital and certainly do need a sufficient investment for expansion.
The political process that exists in Russia today empowers the regional governments to a far greater extent than has been seen anytime in the past. Khabarovsk Krai government now is working hard to create a better business and investment climate to support and expand foreign participation in manufacturing businesses. Importation of foreign technologies will be one of the first items on that agenda.
In many cases, for large development projects the negotiations not only involve the local business partner, but the provincial Government also. In most cases, discussions with Moscow are not conducted. Because of this, the Russian economy at all levels is strongly influenced by regional politics. For these reasons, Russian markets are highly dynamic and volatile. Investment is risky, but the profit incentive is also lucrative. For successful business ventures profits can range from 25% to 100%.
The current economic situation in Russia has created numerous development and investment opportunities. This is usually the case in any financial crisis but seems to be especially true here. Due to these facts, it is necessary to have local representatives familiar with the current political and economic situations. Those situations are rapidly changing.
In looking to the next century and beyond, the solution is to hire a network of regional representatives to represent your Corporation. Many companies failed by opening official representatives offices. The Japanese, for instance, have changed their procedure and now hire regional representatives, who know the complexities of the business and political situations in the regions. They pay consultants salaries plus bonuses for their services. This arrangement works well for them well.
