Which managerial style do the Russians come closest to? The old straight line hierarchy of the business model upto the 1980s or the empowered group decision making of modern day America? I still prefer the direct line, with groups giving advice, but that's just the old military in me.

I wish I knew what managerial style the Russians follow. I've been working face-to-face with them for over 10 years now and I still don't have a clue about their actual management style. All I do know is that if you are lucky enough to get a meeting with a manager who can make his own decisions you're very lucky.
