Profiting from the past: Re-enactments and social entrepreneurship
Abstract
Purpose

Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
Entrepreneurialism has a significant role to play in the economic development of a nation. Its importance is magnified within countries where the economy can be said to be still at some stage of emergence. Russia ticks some of the right boxes in this respect thanks to legacies from its Soviet past. Such influences are evident in the bureaucracy, legislation and taxation mechanisms that combine to stifle enterprise due to their comprehensiveness and unpredictability. Amid the prevailing uncertain climate, efficient social and economic systems are considerably harder to develop and implement. In light of the current situation, a new brand of social entrepreneurship has started to emerge in Russia.
Practical implications
The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
