Keynote address
S.Schwartz  (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
"Cultural value orientations: nature and implications of national differences"

 

Shalom Schwartz is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the Hebrew ‎‎University in Jerusalem. He is immediate past president of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology and a fellow of the American Psychological Association. He has published books and articles in social psychology, cross-cultural psychology, political psychology, sociology, education, law, and economics. The State of Israel recently awarded him its most prestigious civilian prize for his career research in psychology.
Schwartz's theory of a near-universal structure of relations of conflict and congruence among basic human values has been validated in research in over 75 countries. He examines how individuals' values influence attitudes and behavior, (e.g., cooperation/competition, attitudes to immigrants, religiosity, leadership, political choice, adopting innovations, social involvement). He also studies relations of values to self-constructs (e.g., subjective well-being, identification, personality, interpersonal problems). In addition, he studies value development and socialization in the family.
His work on culture specifies and validates seven value orientations which he uses to map the distinctive cultures of 74 nations around the world and to identify 8 world cultural regions. This research examines reciprocal influences of the cultural value orientations of nations on social structural variables (e.g., socioeconomic level, democracy, market systems, family size), historical sources of cultural differences, relations of culture to social policy, and cultural influences on individual behavior within societies (e.g., managers' decision-making, corporate governance, corruption).

• The main enemy of competition is the cartel. Have the new antimonopoly laws provided better possibilities for fighting the cartels?
• In November 2007 the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) was made responsible for competitive policy on the electric power market. Will the new antimonopoly law help to ensure the competitiveness of the electric power market?
• Although there have been difficulties, the liberalisation of pricing in regulated markets is continuing. The possibility of competition has arose, but so has the possibility of its limitation. What is the role of FAS, when most lawsuits against Gazprom have been lost?

• The development of competition is the task of not only FAS. The actions of other authorities are also important. Do the actions taken by Russian executive bodies hinder or promote competition?
