  The objective of this paper is to explore the Russian interpretation of the concept of security and to question this interpretation. The first part of the essay provides a historical overview of the relationship between NATO and Russia. Although the relationship between NATO and Russia has never been friendly, it has not always been hostile. How did it become so? How did Russian security policy makers come to the conclusion that NATO posed a clear threat to Russia? What is behind Russia’s intransigent stance towards NATO? Is there even a solid basis for this attitude? What does this tell us about the Russian understanding of security? After an overview of the different concepts of security and an examination of the notion of strategic security culture, the second part of the paper attempts to answer these questions. It concludes that Russia’s strategic security culture has imperialist features and points out why, in the longer term, Russia will be the main victim of this.

  Maintaining competitiveness is one of the long-term strategic goals for companies. Beside
  tangible and intangible assets, the value of human capital is continuously growing, due to
  changes in the labour market. A loyal, highly skilled employee makes a significant contribution
  to organizational success through competencies, experience, and skills. The career management
  system of multinational companies became more attractive by the possibility of international
  assignments, which is a very complicated process requiring complex planning. This system is
  considered global for several reasons: its transnational nature, international experience gained
  by the employees and the achievable career on a global scale for the individual (as a part of a
  successful process).
  Creating a global career management system thus involves a number of HR functions.
  Emphasis should be placed on finding suitable employees, selecting, onboarding, mentoring, on
  methods and the evaluators in the performance appraisal process, providing feedback on a
  regular basis and in an appropriate manner, achieving and maintaining motivation, developing
  competencies and supporting the balance in mental health.
