- Abstract
- This article analyses cooperation between Russia and South Africa in the sphere of information technology. Advantages and challenges of doing business in South Africa are evaluated. For this purpose successful example of Kaspersky Lab, which is rapidly growing on the African continent, is considered. “Kaspersky” does not only sell its products, but also advises businesses and government agencies of various African countries. South African companies are also interested in the Russian IT-sector, investing into development of such web services as “VKontakte” and “Mail.ru Group”. Materials for this article were obtained during field research in South Africa and in discussions with Russian and South African diplomats, representatives of the academic community and businessmen. Information about «Kaspersky» in Africa was obtained by interviewing the head of South African branch.
