Business Strategy by Firms Based in Developing Countries

Catalog description

Focuses on strategies firms in emerging markets are adopting to compete at home and abroad. Emerging market economies have a growing commercial infrastructure of legal institutions, capital and labor markets, external supply chains, and physical infrastructure. These economies -- the BRICS countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa as well as rapidly growing countries throughout Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East - are now among the most dynamic economies in the world. Strategies in these economies reflect traditional business strategy, but also incorporate important elements from the distinct conditions of the emerging markets in general and of their home countries in particular. This course is for Daytime MBA and Accelerated Daytime MBA students.
