Strategic priorities of development of tourism and exhibition and fair activities in Kuzbass

Tourism is undoubtedly considered to be a strategic industry, especially in the countries with unique natural, cultural and historical resources. However, not very long ago the function of tourism in Russia was more of social character than of economic one. At present tourism is the largest intersectoral complex with a significant multiplicative effect. In order to strategize the tourist industry according to Dr. Vladimir L. Kvint’s methodology it is necessary to evaluate global, national and regional tendencies and consistent patterns, to make analysis of opportunities and threats and to concentrate on the priority trends of development of tourism. To be implemented the trends must be provided with competitive advantages. Kuzbass possesses unrealized potential in the development of niche types of tourism which include snowmobile, off road and industrial tourism. In the conditions of the current financial crisis it is a significant competitive advantage of the region which will make it possible to develop both intraregional and interregional tourism in this direction. Exhibition and fair activity is the most important tool of communication, a mechanism of promotion of new technologies and goods into foreign and domestic markets and a powerful driver of economy. Strategic interests both of the state and its key industrial region Kuzbass can also be realized by organizing international industrial fairs. The objective of the article is to ground the expediency of strategic development and to determine the priority directions for the development of tourism and exhibition and fair activity for the region’s economy in the post-crisis conditions.

From black box to glocalised player? Corporate personality in the twenty-first century and the scope of law’s regulatory reach

This article seeks to investigate the evolving notion of corporate personality from the nineteenth century to the present and the scope for the regulatory effect of law thereon especially in terms of the ongoing management of the relationship between the economic and the social spheres. Utilising the work of the economic historian Karl Polanyi on the rise of the self-regulating market in the nineteenth century, it will suggest that the most appropriate image underlying the dominant legal conception of the company in the twentieth century was that of a black box by which the company was largely isolated from its broader social and political environment as a result of the complex interaction of legal and economic discourses surrounding the emergence of a distinct market-based economic sphere. In the light of the current financial crisis, and even more pertinently against the backdrop of the risk of potentially irreversible environmental degradation, many of the fundamentals of the market-based economic paradigm are presently being called into question. Accordingly, it will be argued, drawing upon Polanyi’s notion of the double movement read in the light of Ulrich Beck’s account of reflexive modernity, that the black box model of the company is increasingly perceived as inappropriate for the twenty-first century and that to attain greater institutional legitimacy there is pressure for the legal conception of corporate personality to be reconfigured as that of a glocalised player open to its environment. The article will conclude by examining the scope of law’s regulatory power to construct such a holistic corporate personality capable of commanding such institutional legitimacy, with particular reference to the significance of s. 172 Companies Act 2006.

The effects of metaphorical frames on attitudes: The Euro crisis as war or disease?

Previous research has identified the frames and metaphors used in the reporting on the Euro crisis. War and disease turned out to be the two most frequently used metaphorical frames. Since coverage of the current financial crisis may have a tangible effect on public opinion, research into the effects of metaphorical frames on attitudes is needed. By employing two survey experiments, a student sample (N = 259) and a nonstudent sample (N = 507), this article traces the effects of both metaphorical frames. Our results show that individuals take over the metaphorical frame elements in their evaluation of the Euro crisis. Participants in the war conditions significantly more often referred to war when answering the open questions. Alternatively, when the Euro crisis was framed as a disease, participants were more likely to use words and sentences containing disease frame elements.
