俄国新企业的缺乏令人惊异。旨在提高俄国竞争力的改革应该从消除新竞争者进入时所面临的管理和制度障碍着手。俄国的许多工业企业都经历了所有权的变化,但相对来说只有少数企业进行了有竞争力的结构调整。Broadman用调查和其它数据表明,由于严重的纵向一体化、地理分隔和买卖双方在某些市场的集中,俄国的大部分工业企业不受激烈竞争的影响。 另外,管理约束保护了现有企业不受与外国和本国新进入者竞争的影响。 Broadman概述了俄国后私有化方案的改革议程,其中强调了调整反竞争结构和减少准入障碍。他建议的改革议程广泛呼吁加强俄国新生的、建立在规章制度基础上的竞争政策框架,以减少自处权、增加透明度并改善责任形象。
