Russian organized crime constitutes a direct threat to the national security interests of the United States by fostering instability in a nuclear-armed power. Left unchecked, Russia is in jeopardy of becoming a criminal syndicalist state under the control of corrupt government bureaucrats, politicians, quasi-businessmen, and criminals. These are the conclusions of the CSIS Russian Organized Crime Task Force, as reported in a new CSIS Panel Report. Composed of senior-level U.S. government representatives and private-sector experts, the task force assesses the breadth and depth of Russian organized crime and corruption, addresses current U.S. policy, and makes recommendations on how best to confront these challenges. 
The report is divided into five chapters, which in turn, 
 outline the impact of Russian organized crime in both Russia and the United States; provide an in-depth overview of the varied structures and characteristics of organized crime groups in Russia; analyze trends relating to the modus operandi and the increasingly sophisticated capabilities and transnational reach of Russian organized crime; assess the relevance of Russian organized crime for U.S. foreign policy and foreign investment; present a plan for action and a number of specific recommendations to prevent, deter, combat, and mitigate the threat of Russian organized crime; 
In addition, appendices identify significant Russian organized crime incidents and examine some of the historical roots of the organized crime phenomenon in Russia.

Disruptive Procurement is a radical new approach to creating value and innovation by challenging the status quo in the entire product and service line. It requires going far beyond conventional desktop procurement to understand the value the company brings to its customers as well as the value that suppliers bring to the company. 
By combining knowledge of these two dimensions, companies become far more flexible and they move closer to disrupting the environment in ways that create value. To move toward Disruptive Procurement, companies need a holistic view and a complete new set of capabilities for staff in marketing, sales, R&D, manufacturing, innovation, and, of course, procurement. This will only happen if procurement is fully backed by the Chief Executive Officer and companies embrace digital tools that will help make procurement slimmer and smarter.\nFrom the Back Cover\nDisruptive Procurement is a radical new approach to creating value and innovation by challenging the status quo in the entire product and service line.
