Abstract

This research aim is to study the effect of corruption in Russia on the process of innovations implementation. The interviews of 10 managers from telecom industry were conducted in order to study this effect. It was determined that in order to understand what effect corruption has on the implementation of innovations, it is necessary to unravel the following: what are the main problems faced by companies that choose to innovate, what stages of the innovation process are the most susceptible to corruption and whether corruption can sand or grease the wheel of innovations development. The research results show that corruption is among the main problems faced by innovative companies. It was found that corruption can influence all stages of the innovations implementation, however, the implementation phase is most affected. Interestingly, the most challenging finding is that none of the respondents see corruption as only a threat or an opportunity but somewhere in-between.
