Abstract

The paper presents an analytical review of modern sources on the issues of determining, classifying and evaluating a region’s intellectual capital. The study identified the most common approaches to intellectual capital assessment, which need to be adjusted taking into account the specificity of the statistical reporting of the Russian Federation, and also because of the need for detailing certain types of intellectual capital. The authors proposed their own approach to assessing a region’s intellectual capital using a system of indicators based on the calculation of the integral indicator tested on the example of the Russian Federation’s regions. The authors have compiled a map of the intensity of the intellectual capital of the Russian Federation’s regions, which is the basis for their comparison by the magnitude of the studied indicator, as well as benchmarking of the key areas of its development for outsider regions.

Abstract

The article analyzes the impact of foreign investment on the competitiveness of Russian companies. Capital mobility is growing rapidly in the 21st century owing to the processes in the world economy, such as globalization, internationalization, and also due to the established single market of goods and services. The enhancement in the competitiveness of companies becomes an essential requirement of the world market. Unfortunately, it is often impossible for many companies to reach a technological progress and increase the efficiency of corporate social responsibility using only its own funding without attracting a foreign capital. Based on the analysis, conclusions are reached and practical recommendations are offered.

Keywords: competitiveness, net outflows, FDI (foreign direct investment), portfolio investment, and volatility
