'Sarah Dixon has produced a fascinating look at the internal workings of four major Russian oil companies during the decade following their privatization in the mid-1990s. Dixon has utilized her in-depth knowledge of Russia and her business experience in its thriving oil industry to gain access to Russia's powerful business titans. Her insights and careful observations have resulted in a masterful analysis of organisational transformation during Russia's radical institutional upheaval. The book is a valuable contribution to resource-based theory by explaining linkages between organisational learning, dynamic capabilities, and implementation of organisational transformation. Practitioners will also benefit from the rich case studies offering insight into constraints and enablers of organisational transformation.' - Sheila M. Puffer, Northeastern University, Boston, US

'The author of this volume provides an insider view of the story due to her involvement with the [Russian oil] industry over a long period and her access to information from key players of the industry... the book is a welcome addition, especially for its sound story line. Anyone interested in the transformation of the Russian oil industry will find it a valuable work. It will also inspire researchers to analyse organisational transformation of other types of industries, especially electricity and gas in many countries around the world that have undergone radical changes in the past.' -- Subhes C.
