COMPANY GROWTH THROUGH NETWORKS: CONTRIBUTING TO THE ECONOMIC WELL-BEING OF THE NATION
Theories of economic well-being clearly show that increased production of goods and services in a national economy leads to higher economic standards of this nation. New factors and mechanisms of economic growth have appeared that provide new opportunities for faster economic growth in emerging countries. The key morphological feature is network-based business organization which contributes to economic growth. The open-ended nature of the network structure facilitates its expansion. It is a new mechanism encouraging growth at various levels of the economic system (micro, macro, meso and mega levels) both in actual and virtual environments through internalization and externalization. Multiplier effects and exponential growth of companies take place in a network. The theory of synergetics provides some explanations in regard to both avalanche-type growth and avalanche-type decline. The Russian company CyberPlat is an example of exponential growth. This company is an electronic non-banking receiver of micro payments from the population using a unique payment infrastructure that covers almost the entire territory of the Russian Federation. It has given a new impulse to the development of mobile communications in Russia and abroad (Kazakhstan).
