Abstract

The paper attempts to clarify Russia’s possibilities to enter the advanced manufacturing markets (Industry 4.0) through participation in global value chains (GVCs). We analyze transformations in GVCs, generated by the renewal of global business strategies (transition from mass offshoring to smart-sourcing, manufacturing servitization, strengthening of GVCs’ resilience and their digitalization), and how Russia corresponds to them in its accumulated but not yet realized comparative advantages (in the field of science and education, development of digital sectors, transportation of goods between Europe and Asia, etc.). We conclude that in the 2020s, Russia has an objective chance to advance to new export markets by entering into both traditional and new service niches of sophisticated industrial GVCs. But to realize this chance, Russia needs a serious adjustment of its structural policy upon considering not only technological, but also institutional and behavioral shifts in the distributed production.

通过提高其在分布式生产中的地位，俄罗斯进入工业4.0市场的机会

本文试图阐明俄罗斯通过参与全球价值链(GVCs)进入先进制造业市场(工业4.0)的可能性。我们分析了全球商业战略更新(从大规模离岸外包向智能外包过渡、制造业服务化、加强全球价值链的弹性和数字化)所带来的全球价值链转型，以及俄罗斯如何在其积累但尚未实现的比较优势(在科学和教育领域、数字部门的发展、欧亚之间的货物运输等领域)中与之相适应。我们的结论是，在本世纪20年代，俄罗斯有客观的机会通过进入传统的和复杂的工业全球价值链的新的服务利基来进入新的出口市场。但为了实现这一机会，俄罗斯需要认真调整其结构性政策，不仅要考虑技术上的转变，还要考虑分布式生产中的制度和行为转变。

期刊介绍： Key Journal''s objectives: bring together economists of different schools of thought across the Russian Federation; strengthen ties between Academy institutes, educational establishments and economic research centers; improve the quality of Russian economic research and education; integrate economic science and education; speed up the integration of Russian economic science in the global mainstream of economic research. The Journal publishes both theoretical and empirical articles, devoted to all aspects of economic science, which are of interest for wide range of specialists. It welcomes high-quality interdisciplinary projects and economic studies employing methodologies from other sciences such as physics, psychology, political science, etc. Special attention is paid to analyses of processes occurring in the Russian economy. Decisions about publishing of articles are based on a double-blind review process. Exceptions are short notes in the section "Hot Topic", which is usually formed by special invitations and after considerations of the Editorial Board. The only criterion to publish is the quality of the work (original approach, significance and substance of findings, clear presentation style). No decision to publish or reject an article will be influenced by the author belonging to whatever public movement or putting forward ideas advocated by whatever political movement. The Journal comes out four times a year, each issue consisting of 12 to 15 press sheets. Now it is published only in Russian. The English translations of the Journal issues are posted on the Journal website as open access resources.
