Russian companies suffer the most not from competitors but from workers and state officials, who robbed average Russian company on $3 millions for last 2 years.
According to investigations of PricewaterhouseCoopers, for last 2 years 49% of Russian companies were exposed to economic crimes. 62% of them said that the highest damage is caused by workers of company who use their position in personal interest - such as putting half of money for work "in pocket".
The second place - 54% - is bribe-taking of state officials. 35% of managers called appropriation of holdings as main problem. Corporative robbery also is popular abroad. But unlike Russian companies, which suffer from intrigues of top-managers, European companies - from intrigues of middle and low workers. Losses of Russian companies are 3 times higher than world indexes.
