The Impact

The analysis of competition policy under economic crisis is motivated by the fact that competition is a key factor for the level of productivity. The latter, in its turn, influences the scope and length of economic recession. In many Russian markets buyers' gains decline because of the weakness of competition, since suppliers are reluctant to cut prices in spite of the decreasing demand. Data on prices in Russia and abroad in the second half of 2008 show asymmetric price rigidity. At least two questions are important under economic crisis: the 'division of labor' between pro-active and protective tools of competition policy and the impact of anti-crisis policy on competition. Protective competition policy is insufficient in transition economy, especially in the days of crisis it should be supplemented with the well-designed industrial policy measures which do not contradict the goals of competition. The preferable tools of anti-crisis policy are also those that do not restrain competition.

This chapter looks at policies for industrialization in developing countries, considering changes that have taken place since the Second World War, including the rise and subsequent demise of the so-called Washington Consensus approach. It discusses import substituting industrialization, export development, trade liberalization and the impact of post-2000 new WTO rules on trade-related policy measures. It shows how the East Asian model of substantial government intervention in the economy has been followed by a number of successful countries, not just Japan, Korea and Taiwan, but also China and Vietnam.

The defining trend of the ongoing Fourth industrial revolution based on Industry 4.0 is the digitalization of technological processes for creating new value in material production. The introduction of global trends of the "Industry 4.0" concept into the practice of functioning of domestic enterprises, the importance of global trends for the domestic industry require the search for new scientific approaches to research and systematize the manifestations of digitalization, taking into account risks and dangers, and developing appropriate industrial policy measures. The study analyzes the main technologies and tools of the Industry 4.0 concept, as well as the possibilities of its use for the progressive transformation of the Russian industrial complex. Modern trends and promising directions of innovative transformation of the industrial sector of the Russian economy are identified, taking into account the identified specific features of Industry 4.0.

The Government

Kyrgyzstan pursued the market-based reform in the process of transition. Based on the literature review and statistical data covering 1990s-2010s, this paper explains economic development and industrialization of Kyrgyzstan in its transition process. The government of Kyrgyzstan promoted several priority sectors including agriculture, mining, energy, garment and agro-processing industry by industrial policy measures. There is little evidence that Kyrgyzstan has a comparative advantage in agriculture. Gold mining is expected to be depleted by 2020s. Kyrgyzstan appears to be competitive in hydroelectricity generation and agro-processing industry. Although the garment industry has led the manufacturing sector, it has been losing the foreign investors’ attention. Therefore, it is necessary for Kyrgyzstan to think of the next stage of economic development with the new industrial-led economic development strategy. The government of Kyrgyzstan may benefit from promoting value-added industries. For such value-added industries to develop, strengthening infrastructure particularly in human capital would be critical.

Vaccine Shortages

Established in 2003 as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) covering vaccine research and development, manufacturing and supply, the Biovac Institute has grown from an initial base of 24 staff and a revenue of R188 million to an organisation of 250 people and an annual revenue of R1.8 billion (as of January 2018). The institute earns a premium on the procurement cost of a broad range of vaccines required by the National Department of Health (NDoH), the net value of which reached R1.14 billion over the period 2010–2014 and was used to finance the institute’s operations, including vaccine distribution and quality control. In this study, we have evaluated the value-for-money of the partnership within a context of tension between health and industrial policy. According to the respondents in the qualitative survey, its principal benefit has been the uninterrupted supply of vaccine and the ability to respond quickly to vaccine shortages. The main disadvantages appear to have been the slow establishment of vaccine manufacturing, and initially a limited ability to negotiate highly competitive vaccine prices. Overall, it is concluded that the institute has delivered value-for-money and met the objectives of both industrial and health policy. However, the experience appears not to have convinced the NDoH of the value of such initiatives.

Start Ups

In most countries, small businesses represent a majority of firms providing close to fifty percent of the total employment. However, on average, more than half of new small-business start-ups usually fail within the first 5 years of operation. Therefore, learning from the success of small-business owners who have sustained in business for at least 5 years can provide helpful insights not only for individual firms, but also for the continued growth of local economies which usually rely on small business to a great extent. The purpose of this case study based article was to explore common approaches, strategies and skills of successful business founders/small business owner´s that contribute to their sustained development. The article is based on a qualitative survey of sixteen, locally operating, small, retail and service-industry firms which, having successfully survived at least 5 years in business, continue to grow. The method of the survey covered semi structured interviews led with individual entrepreneurs and focused on identifying the crucial business as well as personal approaches and skills important for their market survival.
