After decades of poor economic performance, emerging markets are now the most dynamic markets in the world despite their volatility. All players in the business world are trying to seize this business growth opportunity. Defining a strategy to take advantage of the multiple yet complex opportunities offered by these markets is a major challenge to many companies.

This event will look at key emerging markets and their characteristics with the focus on Asian countries. In addition, challenges faced by transition and emerging-market economies will be addressed.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the main differences and similarities that characterize emerging economies.
  • Analyze the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging economies.
  • Examine how low-cost innovations take place in emerging markets.
  • Assessing the risk encountered by firms operating in emerging countries.
