Topics of research and forecasts
35 years of Dr. Kvint's research and scholarly activity have been dedicated to the creation of theories on new regional economic development and strategy and emerging market countries. Among Dr. Kvint's achievements are:- Theory of Regionalization of Scientific-Technological Progress
- an evaluation of the role of the scientific-technical strategy in the regional economy
- the development of the methodology of strategic regional programs
- the Theory of the Global Emerging Market
- the system of business strategies in emerging market countries
- the development of economic strategic systems of production and distribution of ethanol and other bio-fuels.
While his strategic analysis and forecasts of events are not infrequently outspoken, controversial, and at times even criticized as outlandish or impossible [Forbes Global, January 24, 2000 p. 24], in hindsight, they have been remarkably accurate and insightful. Indeed, it becomes evident that his forecasts are soundly grounded in detailed analysis of fact.
One of his most accurate forecasts was published in 1989, proclaiming that “by 1992 there will be no country called the Soviet Union”. In fact, the Soviet Union disappeared in December 1991. Dr. Kvint’s cover story in the February 1990 issue of Forbes Magazine was called “Russia Should Quit the Soviet Union”, and received worldwide attention.
Among his other forecasts are:
