Rating of Siberian Business Activity in the National Market
In Russia they still lack regional statistics on business
activity and markets situation. There are no official
information, and experts turn to indirect data on market
relations development. One of the sources of information is
unusual by international standard, yet extremely active
nationwide computer network of commercial data - RELCOM. Because of lagging of
communication means behind, spreading of commercial information
over the computer net turned out to be the most simple and
efficient way to the open market. A special behavioral
stereotype has been formed: a majority of businessmen active in
CIS wide market daily duplicate their commercial projects over
the net. As a result, a full communication flow runs along the
net (141,320 projects in the I quarter of 1995). The data have
their regional features and are not bad in describing local
business activity. As for the access to the computer net of
commercial information, please address to the RELCOM Co
