The concept of system management as a methodology of enterprise management on the basis
of representation of the internal structure of the enterprise in the form of a population of economic,
social, organizational and technological and other systems is developed. Intra-production systems
on the basis of a typology of systems that distinguishes between object (organizational), project
(innovative), process and environmental systems are integrated. It is shown that this approach
integrates well-known concepts of organizational management, project management, institution
management and business process management. Using the managerial theories of I. Adizes and
P. Drucker, as well as the theory of production functions with constant elasticities of substitution of
factors by H. Uzawa, a criterion for the effectiveness of system management of an enterprise is being
constructed.

The article reveals the foundations of the concept of state antimonopoly regulation, it defines the
state’s failure in regulation. Based on the results of analysis of amendments introduced in the Law
on Protection of Competition, failures in state antimonopoly regulation were investigated. Using the
scenario approach in the analysis of the competitive environment, in cases of prohibited concerted
actions, it was proved it is necessary to determine the threshold values of the Herfindahl-Hirschman
concentration index, and do not take a share because their minimum size which was defined in
the Law on Protection of Competition does not speak of potential opportunities of economic entities
to restrict competition in the commodity market. Using the statistical method, it is proved that
the introduced criterion, requiring determination of the size of the revenues of economic entities
when establishing a dominant position, has lowered the quality of antimonopoly regulation, as many
organizations previously subject to antimonopoly control are excluded from regional commodity
markets. Conclusions about the failures in antimonopoly regulation and the shift in the balance of
interests between the state, business entities and consumers are also confirmed in the article by the
analysis of the dynamics of the number of initiated cases on violation of the antimonopoly legislation.
According to the results of the research, it is determined on which side the balance of interests
lies today in the model of antimonopoly regulation, the directions of further improvement of antimonopoly
regulation are revealed, and the characteristic of its modern phase is given.

This research develops an approach to analysis of market power effects after domestic Russian
mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and tests potential success factors for increasing market power
after M&A. The sample is based on the Mergermarket database and includes 171 domestic Russian
deals closed between January 2006 and September 2015.
This paper makes two primary contributions to the literature. First, this paper is related to the
recent research that investigates M&A in emerging markets. Our paper is unique in that we study
domestic Russian M&A based on long-term firm accounting data. This approach captures private
companies and small deals that make up the majority of the Russian M&A market. The second contribution
is the evaluation of market power effects after M&A both for the entire Russian M&A market
and for the separate industries.
The analysis shows that domestic Russian deals do not lead to significant increase in market
power. Only 49% of the deals are successful and, on average, they lead to 2,6% increase in EBIT
margin. The most successful industry is wholesale and retail where 68% of the deals are successful.
This article may be useful for company management to estimate value of prospective M&A deals
and for academic researchers interested in analysis of emerging markets M&As.
