Russian Studies in U.S. Business History: Problems and Issues.: The knowledge of American business history in Russia still remains on a considerably low level. The existing Russian studies cannot serve as a starting point. This studies are not only too scarce and fragmentary, but heavily ideologically biased. Aiming at elaboration of a new scholarly approach, business historians should employ contemporary methodologies of business studies with a special emphasis on interdisciplinary research, cooperative and typological analysis. Main task for Russian business historian is to reveal the functioning of business enterprises including the questions of decision-making, entrepreneurial behavior, social responsibility, corporate image and culture.
