description This article examines the history of one of Russia’s largest cement companies, the Joint-Stock Company of United Portland Cement Plants “Zhelezo-Cement” and “Volsky D. B. Zeyfert”, focusing on its establishment and operations. The research aims to determine the level of institutional (formal and informal) alignment among stakeholders and its impact on the company’s production, financial, and managerial performance on the eve of and during World War I. The study analyzes the extent to which the company’s economic performance reflected its managerial and financial development strategies. It explores the mechanisms employed to reconcile the preferences of various stakeholders (shareholders, board members, creditors, business partners) in shaping the development of the plants in St. Petersburg and Volsk. Nikolai Kozlovsky’s individual contributions to the management of cement production are assessed in terms of his capacity to influence the efficiency of interregional business operations within a context of evolving individual and group interests within the joint-stock company. The article concludes that innovative changes in the company’s operations were largely a result of Kozlovsky’s long-term leadership.
