Abstract: A successful Russian entrepreneur was selected as a case study in order to find out if this person required any specific qualities different from those routinely attributed by academic literature to his counterpart in the West. Results reported here provide early evidence of great similarities in the typology of successful entrepreneurs in transition and market economies. Yet if the qualities required are ranged according to their importance there is a clear bias towards the ability to create or join networks and the advantage of sharing common values arising from the importance of personal contacts to obtain resources in Russia.
