Abstract: Russia's market transformation has presented opportunities and challenges for business cooperation. Success in US-Russian business ventures requires understanding of cultural similarities and differences between partners. This study signifies a mixed signal in applications of Western style management to Russian business. On the one hand, significant differences remain between US and Russian managers in such functions as planning and organising. On the other hand, a convergence effect is noticeable in the behaviour-oriented managerial function of leadership. While the monolithic organisational structure is not easy to dismantle, behavioural aspects popular in US management are relatively easy to adopt for Russian managers.
