The spatial segmentation of the Russian marketof territorial strategic consulting (TSC)

The localization of organizations providing services in the development of socio-economic strategies of federal and municipal entities of Russia is analyzed and reflected in the schematic maps. The 2016-2018 period is studied based on data from the official public procurement website, and the 1997-2018 period based on data from the register of companies involved in strategic research (StratPlan.ru portal). Three groups of organizations - all-Russian («omnivores»), zonal, and local are identified in terms of their territorial and market behavior mechanisms. Taking into account past experience, including that not reflected on the public procurement website, all-Russian companies are set apart from those active on the territorial and strategic consulting services market in 2016-2018. The latter include NRU HSE, RANEPA, CJSC ICSER «Leontief Centre», LLC Scientific developments, LLC Development and Prudence, ENKO, State Institution Center of Advanced Economic Researches at the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan», LLC «AV», LLC «Financial and organizational consulting», Fund CSR «North-West». Most of Russian suppliers, i.e., those ready to work and already working in many regions and cities have head offices in Moscow, but there are also organizations based in St. Petersburg, Kazan, and Tyumen. Zonal suppliers, i.e., working on the territory of one or two adjacent federal districts, and local suppliers, whose activities are limited to one federal entity, primarily work in the region of their location. Localization is determined by long-term cooperation with the authorities and well-grounded local knowledge.
