Enterprise Reform And Corporate Governance In Russia: A Quantitative Survey

The objective of this paper is to verify the range and depth of the study on corporate governance in Russia through a comprehensive survey of 202 research works. With regard to the internal structure of Russian corporations, a great deal of research has been conducted in a relatively short time since the collapse of the Soviet Union by many highly motivated researchers, who have provided insightful perspectives. These achievements, however, place too much emphasis on the empirical analysis of the interrelation between ownership structure and corporate restructuring, leaving some critical themes open for further discussion. As the twenty‐first century begins, a well‐balanced research base should be established in this field in order to identify the reality of Russian corporations from a multifaceted perspective.
