“…The modernisation agenda is unwrapping on the background of the systemic challenges in the field of science and technology. Still, previous research showed systematic shortfalls in comparison to more developed countries (Gstraunthaler and Proskuryakova, 2012). Several research papers into Russia's national innovation system and notoriously low levels of investment activity revealed the inadequate collaboration between actors within the innovation chain as the main deficiency (e.g.…”

Digitalisation in machinery-building is expected to enhance productivity and drive the digital transformation of other industries. The extant literature sparsely describes pathways of different sectors in digitalisation, considering the heterogeneous characteristics of firms and sectors. Emerging economies with important state participation represent a particular interest in this area of research. To this end, a multiple case study method was used to describe a set of determinants revealed from the literature on Russian technological development and innovation in manufacturing. Two different patterns were identified. The first one was typical for large leading firms with state participation, which have a global market presence and a substantial level of interoperability, currently turning into a service business model. Private firms that follow the second pattern focus on physical and digital infrastructure upgrading targeted at particular issues to secure connectivity across departments. The state participation does not have a decisive role in digitalisation decisions; however, it affects the participation of companies in national digital initiatives. This study is a preliminary analysis of the determinants associated with corporate digitalisation from the sectoral perspective. Since both national and corporate strategies are ongoing, it seems premature to make generalised conclusions. Instead, the paper provides useful insights for management and policy that refer to digital technology uptake by machinery-building industries.

“…Not all resource rich countries develop with problems with notable exceptions as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, and Sweden (Gstraunthaler & Proskuryakova, 2012). These countries are all well developed, which certainly influences the outcome.…”

“…In the economic market place, there is currently a rush to globalization. The process of globalization "leads to a strong cooperation of all countries in the rapid development of global markets of capital, natural, and human resources" (Gstraunthaler & Proskuryakova, 2012). Globalization formalizes trading arrangements that integrate markets and encourages foreign direct investments (FDI) in host countries (Collins & Nissan, 2016).…”

“…Among the factors companies use to evaluate investments in host countries, an overall risk assessment is important as is the level of investments made by local entrepreneurs (Lautier, 2012). Supply and demand factors influence on the country participants and the country participants also influence increases in investments and the resultant increases in production (Gstraunthaler & Proskuryakova, 2012). However, research on the Dutch disease "shows that natural resources abundance rarely stimulates domestic investment", at least not by itself (Lautier, 2012).…”

“…The study also includes discussions on the development of natural resource (Gelb, 1988;Davis, 1995;Van der Veen, 2004;Ghazvinian, 2007;Gstraunthaler & Proskuryakova, 2012;Ross, 2012;Mahama & Gakpe, 2015;Siakwah, 2017), as well as the need for robust institutions as a foundation for economic success (Davis, 1995;Collier, 2008;Sgard, 2008;Bensidoun, Lemoine & Unal 2009;Muahamat & Gakpe, 2015;Collins & Nissan, 2016;Siakwah, 2017). There are also discussions on investments and globalization as well as personal remittances received in the host countries (Sachs & Warner, 1995;Amuedo-Dorantes & Pozo, 2004;Kapur, 2004;Collier, 2008;Acosta, Lartey & Mandelman, 2009;DeKorne, 2011;Serino & Kim, 2011;Gstraunthaler & Proskuryakova, 2012;Lautier, 2012;Benmamoun & Lehnert, 2013;Makhlouf & Mughal, 2013).

Do Sub-Saharan Countries in Africa Have the Dutch Disease?

The Sub-Saharan countries in Africa are evaluated to determine if conditions exists to cause some to develop the Dutch disease. Two groups are assembled from the study population: those with natural resources rents under 8% of GDP, and those over. Both groups show tendencies for higher resources rents than the baseline World readings. Both groups also experience decreases in both the agriculture and manufacturing sectors during the study period. In addition, both groups see increases in personal remittances received by the host countries. All of these are ingredients which signal potential Dutch disease. In addition to the two group comparisons, individual country assessments are conducted which identify 13 of the 49 countries, or 26.5%, as having conditions which would support the Dutch disease diagnosis. Measurements for the study are taken from the World Bank databank website and categorized into two sections, economic configuration and money flows, for further focus. The study includes discussions on natural resources development, globalization, institutions, the Dutch disease, remittances, and investments.
