Russia
The Palms Library of Russian Business Information
-
An extensive library of important and useful on-line information and advice for achieving business success in the Former Soviet Union. This information is read not only in the West, but is widely read and respected by Managers, Directors, and Government Officials inside the Former Soviet Union. This data is also mirrored on literally hundreds of servers throughout the region.
Dr. Palms is an investment banker, has extensive background in dealing with economic, business, import/export, finance, and government policies, and has the ear of many key individuals throughout the world. There is a huge amount of data here, but well worth the reading. Dr. Palms and Mr. Keene are collaborators on many projects and often work together on projects to improve the Russian/Western business environment, to improve the success rate of both Russian and Western businesses, and to create successful international business ventures.
The Difference between the Command Economy and the Free Market in Russia is an important article to read to help you to understand the different perceptions that exist between the East and West in this critical area of discussion. NOTE: We recommend that the Russian Cyrillic version of this article be printed out and handed to every Russian director to read before they have their first serious financial discussion. Every Western manager should also read this before embarking on an enterprise in Russia.

China
Advice from the China Friends & Partners Database
-
An extensive library of important and useful on-line information and advice for achieving business success in the Far East and particularly in the People's Republic of China. While the Former Soviet Union and China have many things in common as far as their entry into the free market, their are significant differences that must be studied and understood. In many ways China has become much more advanced and capable in the market, and there are lessons here for other emerging economies. Many of the skills needed for doing business in China are quite different than those needed in Russia, for instance, and as time goes on we will try to discuss these issues and help to link you to useful resources that will be helpful.
