Do state-owned banks #statebanks 🏦 behave like #neoclassicalbanks? If not, how and why? Steven Nafziger Williams College on Strategizing on the riverbank: State-owned enterprises, paradoxes, and the success of Sberbank 👉 https://lnkd.in/gaPyW7Mi by 🎓 👥 Christopher Hartwell & Vladimir Korovkin   "Hartwell and Korovkin's penetrating analysis of the strategic history of Russia's Sberbank lifts the lid on the ways such a bank can survive and even thrive amidst varied and often conflicting, even paradoxical, internal and external pressures. This fascinating and deeply researched study sheds light on just how financial institutions have functioned in the globalizing post-Soviet space, amidst an increasingly authoritarian regime. As such, business historians, economists, and management scholars will find much to learn in Hartwell and Korovkin's account of managerial roads taken and not taken by this market-oriented but deeply state-connected Russian bank over the last few decades." #paradoxtheory #Sberbank #stateownedenterprises #institutions #financialsector #finhis #bizhis Abstract Prior to February 2022, Sberbank was the largest bank operating in Russia and one of the top 20 banks globally. This paper asks how it achieved this position despite facing intertwined strategic and operational paradoxes at the heart of the firm. In particular, Sberbank faced the unenviable position of simultaneously providing an outlet for Russian savings and powering Russia’s development as an agent of the state while also aspiring to be an innovative and full-service financial institution. Exploring how Sberbank coped with these paradoxes in the post-Soviet era, we show how management followed a package of various tactics, including delaying, ignoring, or manipulating directives. In this manner, space was created for management-inspired change, but success was only achieved when tactics were appropriate for the external environment. This reality shows how important context and time are in adopting a strategy for dealing with paradoxes.
