https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2024-3-1442

Abstract

Aim. To identify the common and specific features of the evolution of the organizational structure in the management of civil aircraft production in modern Russia and the Soviet Union, and to analyze its dynamics.

Methodology. Within the framework of historical, institutional and neo-institutional approaches, both formal and informal institutions of sectoral management are described; cases demonstrating the influence on the development, adoption and implementation of managerial decisions of the head of state, the leadership subsystem, representatives of influence groups, including the corporate sector, are considered.

Results. Specific mechanisms of industry management are described (special situational meetings, an unregulated mechanism for attracting engineers to direct management of the industry, etc.). It is concluded that there are significant differences in the organizational structure of management of the civil aviation industry in the Soviet Union and modern Russia, both at the level of the institutional framework of industry management and the executive staff of managers, and at the level of informal institutions.

Research implications. The theoretical and practical significance of this study lies in the identification of institutions and practices in industry management that were successful in the Soviet era, which may be relevant for adoption in current geopolitical and social and economic circumstances.
