Typesetting is input in Word and set in a serif typeface (Times Roman) at a font size of 12 points. The main text needs to be formatted according to the following rules: justified width; left and right indents equal to zero; no hanging indentations; zero interval before the paragraph and 6 point interval after the paragraph; line-to-line spacing equal to one.

Enumerations should be written as marked or enumerated lists. Each position goes on a separate line.

Marked lists should be done with  dashes in the left. For example:

– segment of the market;
– firm’s size;
– competition level.


Enumerated lists should be given without brackets.

  1. Segment of the market.
  2. Firm’s size.
  3. Competition level.

Formatting footnotes and references: Follow the same rules as above, except: the heading lines should have hanging indentations of 0,4 points. The references should be given in the text directly after the patch demanding the reference. The footnotes should be designed as follows:

[Smith-Doerr, Powell 2005; Uzzi 1999].
[Development Program… 2008].

Square brackets are not used for other purposes in the text. In case of a reference to a foreign author it is necessary to give in the text transcription of the Russian name, but her writing Latin – in parentheses. For example: "Уци (Brian Uzzi) утверждает, что ...". In references to works written by more than three authors, use "и др." or «et al.» at the first mention.

References go at the end of the text with the full bibliographic description of all the sources used. List only those sources which were used in the text. The list goes in alphabetical order.
