ABSTRACT

There is a double interplay of the innovation potential of a company, its business model, and the structure of the market that is rarely caught in researchers’ focus. This interrelation is of importance to companies working in various segments of the energy sector. In this chapter, we review multiple activities launched by the Russian authorities to foster innovation in technological sectors of the Russian economy. The activities centered on mergers and acquisitions are a major part of this framework in both public and private organizations.
