Before <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> empirical study results in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> next secti<strong>on</strong> we will present <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> employed data and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

research scheme.<br />

4. Data and methodology<br />

The data for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> survey was provided by Russian Federal Agency <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Government Statistics (Rosstat)<br />

and its regi<strong>on</strong>al department (Permstat) as well as by SPARK-INTERFAX and FIRA Pro Russian<br />

databases based <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> companies’ annual statistical and financial reports. The data includes<br />

informati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> 401 small, medium and large companies from different industries, classified according<br />

to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> 3-digit OKVED codes (classificati<strong>on</strong> system <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> ec<strong>on</strong>omic activity) over 2005-2007 years. The<br />

dataset compiled by <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> authors reports <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> gross value-added (GVA) <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 23 sectors across <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> Perm<br />

regi<strong>on</strong> and includes <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> following informati<strong>on</strong>:<br />

Comm<strong>on</strong> indicators – form and structure <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> ownership, company age, industry and enterprise<br />

code.<br />

Ec<strong>on</strong>omic indicators – total revenue, costs, export, company pr<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>itability and unit labour costs.<br />

Specific indicators – total labour productivity, R&D expenditures.<br />

The representativeness study shows <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> sample equivalence to Perm regi<strong>on</strong> ec<strong>on</strong>omic structure at<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> sector level (with probability <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 0,683). This fact al<strong>on</strong>e provides motivati<strong>on</strong> for studying <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

intellectual capital for manufacturing industries <strong>on</strong>ly. It should be menti<strong>on</strong>ed that a preliminary<br />

segregati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> sample was made in this analysis to filter out those companies that did not fall into<br />

manufacturing sectors, leaving a total <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 101 companies, using which <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> study was carried out.<br />

Table 2 helped us to characterize <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> type <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a company that agreed to collaborate in our study. It<br />

presents several descriptive objectives <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> sample, where <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> median and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> standard deviati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> variables are detailed.<br />
