Russian business culture in the context of a unified typology
Resumo
The unified typology of business culture proposed by the author is based on an ensemble of four types of culture: a leader, a bureaucrat, an entrepreneur and a professional, which at the macro level turns into eastern (Russia), central (Germany), western (USA) and northern (Denmark) types.The unified typology takes into account the results of the typologies of Hofstede, Lewis, and Trompenaars. Russian business culture has a type of leader (family, clan), the same as cultures of countries of southern Europe and eastern countries. Among countries with similar cultures and significantly higher GDP per capita, Taiwan, South Korea and Portugal should be singled out. It can be very useful for Russia to use the market experience of these countries.The article uses the mechanism of transferring cultural aspects from the micro to the macro level. In particular, the mechanism of objectively arising contradictions between the economy and culture, bureaucracy and innovators is shown.The article describes in detail the elements of Russian business culture: shared values, patterns, and artifacts.

Resumo
The COVID-19 pandemic, and later the special military operation of the Russian Federation that began in February 2022, became “black swans” for the vast majority of business representatives and led to significant changes in all business processes of organizations.

And first of all, these changes affected the administrative apparatus - the very approach to managing business and teams. New qualities and skills of an effective manager began to come to the fore.In their work, the authors considered approaches to highlighting the key skills of a manager in the period before and after the COVID-19 pandemic and a special military operation. The hypothesis of the study was the assumption that the external challenges associated with COVID-19 and special military operation have led to changes in the qualities and skills of managers that are necessary for business.As a result of the study, conclusions were drawn about a shift in the demands of business representatives in relation to the qualities and skills of managers. The article will be of interest to business representatives, managers and scientists dealing with management problems.
