This publication serves as a guide for the practical design of the business and production setup of German medium-sized enterprises in Russia. It has been written by practitioners for practitioners and is aimed at all those who deal with Russian business partners, government representatives, employees, or colleagues in their daily work. Unlike large corporations, the Russian market remains a very risky, albeit promising, market for medium-sized companies. The foundation of this collection of materials is the authors' many years of professional experience with German-Russian cooperation projects, as well as reports from German and Russian entrepreneurs from various industries. Numerous business-related background information from the fields of culture, geography, and history complement the book.
