Resumo(s)
This study aims to analyse Russian oil & gas and banking industries from the point of view of M&A activity. In a form of case study, a brief history of M&A deals in both industries is presented and analysed in a context of Russian culture and economic environment. The study suggests that Russia is an extremely interesting and important example of a transitioning economy that could be useful for analysis of M&A activity in emerging markets. Research suggests that Russian economy through its short history has taken a path of strong consolidation and its key industries are now represented by few large players. History of M&A in Russia is full with hostile takeovers and scandals, while the level of foreign investments always remained low. Possible reasons for that could be found in Russia’s cultural and historical background, especially in the strength of informal institutions in the managerial practices. The study opens a discussion for further research on the topic.
