Transformation of enterprises into firms: problems
Having analyzed the changes that took place in the Novosibirsk Oblast enterprise’s management over passed decade, the author shows that while the significant changes in the sectoral and institutional industrial structures have been observed, only companies recently established and oriented a consumer’s market have shown a fast growth. Older companies have changed their management much slower. The drastic changes have occurred due to the shifts in the enterprises’ owners. All the changes were basically connected with the institutional or marketing innovations, while the technological ones had insignificant impact on the enterprises’ management. As the potential of the institutional or marketing innovations is limited, the future development of enterprises will inevitably require new technologies as the factor to increase the competitiveness of enterprises. A future management model should include the mechanisms inducing the innovative activity of enterprises.
