Arctic corporation: choosing approaches to create new theory
In the first part of the article (see ECO № 1/2021), the main provisions of the theory of Arctic resource TNCs were formulated, their radical differences from TNCs operating in the manufacturing industry and services were analyzed. However, there are no less serious differences between Arctic corporations relative to each other, largely determined by the specifics of natural assets and the challenges that this specifics and location pose to companies. In addition, in recent years, there has been a trend towards hybridization of mining and processing companies in the Arctic due to the placement of the processing stage at the place of resource extraction and the transition of companies of different specializations to a platform model of organizing business processes.

This makes it necessary to enhance the role of the state in establishing general rules of conduct for public and private resource corporations in the Arctic.
