It explores strategic issues, drivers, constraints, costs, and risks of international expansion and includes analytical tools, practical applications, sources of information, and assistance in international business research. These are supplemented by analysis of Russia's macro-economic profile, drivers, strategic strengths and weaknesses in the comparative context, including its international market attractiveness and opportunities for U.S. companies. The book examines Russia's main industries, their profiles, trends and business attractiveness, trends, and marketing strategies. The discussion of Russia's regions covers regional subdivisions and economic profiles with the focus on Moscow, the leading economic region.

Despite the onslaught of capitalism, Russia retains its relationship-driven culture.
