This article analyzes the competitive advantage of German renewable energy firms in Russia. Based on Porter's diamond model of competitiveness, we examine the demand for renewable energy in Russia and German firms' ability to meet this demand. While the overall demand for renewable energy in Russia is still low, the study reveals formidable opportunities in the fields of biomass, solar and wind energy. Our findings are meant to address managers in the renewable energy industry and to aid policy makers in environmental support and action.

This paper investigates which criteria influence a company's entry mode choice for its after-sales service in a foreign country. With a focus on the decision between integrative and cooperative entry modes, an empirical study of 80 foreign entry mode decisions by German manufacturing companies identified determinants of particular importance for after-sales service. Country-specific variables exert a dominant influence on entry mode choice. Country risk, fluctuations in demand, and the availability of suitable service partners increase the probability of choosing a cooperative entry mode. Cultural distance from the host country leads to integrative modes. As transaction-specific variables, a difficult service quality evaluation is shown to increase the likelihood of establishing wholly-...

This paper examines the relationship between the psychic distance of decision makers in SMEs from specific foreign markets and their interest in cooperation with companies from those countries. Based on a review of the literature and a qualitative empirical study among entrepreneurs in the Saxon-Czech border area, the paper identifies the central explanatory variables of psychic distance, thus contributing to a theoretically-based conceptualization of this construct. Previous conceptualizations of psychic distance are extended and specified. This reveals the necessity for a wider inclusion of perceived differences in the political and legal situations, the mind-set as well as the historical development.
