Get used to impatient newcomers: Emerging market firms rush to take on the world

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

If there's just one thing a global recession can teach us it is that nations' economies are dependent on each other. Never before has the phrase “global village” been so true. Emerging market organizations have been making their presence felt and doing it in a way which can be quite startling for some traditionalists of the “western world”.

Practical implications

The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to digest format.
