Russian culture academician Alexander Zapesotsky, wrote on Mamedov's monograph on Cultural Management:[citation needed]
- "In the scientific sense the monograph appears to me a substantial body of universal cultural knowledge. Due to the original cultural approach to managerial problems, a new form of systematization and description of management processes, a culturologist`s judgment of history, theory and practice of state management in Eastern and Western cultures, your book gains a special academic and practical value. The unique method elaborated by you, called “Cultural Pyramid”, is of particular academic and practical value. It serves to the purpose of continuous improvement to the studies of management and allows generating innovative models of efficient management at various levels."
