Biography
Hanna Shevtsova is an academic economist specialised in industrial and innovation development. She completed her PhD in Economics in 1997 and subsequently earned a second doctoral degree after a further thesis defence in 2016. She has held both teaching and research positions at the Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University and at the Institute of Industrial Economics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. In 2023–2024, she pursued her research as a visiting researcher at the Department of Economic History at Uppsala University.
Shevtsova’s research covers a wide range of industrial modernisation concepts at the micro, sectoral and regional levels, including smart industry, digitalisation, innovation ecosystems and cluster technologies. She is especially interested in the sustainable, innovative development of the chemical manufacturing industry and its associated value chains.
Her publications include the monograph Synergetic Management of Enterprises (in Ukrainian), which presents the author’s concept of organised synergy in economic systems, as well as research articles in the journals Economy of Industry, Sustainability and the European Journal of Sustainable Development.
Research Project
Russian Multi-Layered Strategies for Gaining Control over Industrial Assets in Pre-2022-Invasion Ukraine
Shevtsova’s new research focus is related to rethinking the history of industrial transformation in Ukraine prior to the 2022 invasion. At SCAS, she will work on a project that explores Russia’s multi-layered, non-military strategies for a creeping seizure of Ukrainian industrial assets between 1991 and 2021. Using a historical institutional analysis and empirical evidence from the chemical industry, the study provides new insights into the causes and methods by which Russian businesses and their proxies gained control over Ukrainian industrial companies.
