Abstract: This paper represents results of the research devoted to investigation of the influence of various types of organizational changes on Russian new ventures' performance. In order to explore this topic and define relationship existing studies, covering influence of organizational changes on the performance and key characteristics of new ventures are analyzed. Hypotheses on the impact of technological and administrative changes such as the introduction of new management systems, new methods of responsibilities distribution among employees, changes in the management structure and outsourcing of non-core operations for the first time, on new ventures' performance are tested. The empirical study is based on 1129 Russian new ventures from the database Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS), collected in 2012. The findings are interesting and have implications for managers and researchers. This study reveals negative influence of technological changes. Second, positive influence of administrative changes on new ventures' performance was confirmed. Finally, it was concluded that manager’s experience influences positively on firm’s performance while conducting organizational changes, but to a certain value.
