Synopsis

The Second Edition of Doing Business in Emerging Markets has been completely revised and updated to reflect the challenges and opportunities facing businesses in emerging markets, in the wake of the financial crisis. Filled with international case studies and packed with real-life examples from across the world, this text covers all the key topics on an Emerging Markets course in an engaging and accessible way. Examining pre-entry as well as post-entry issues and strategies, this text shows how the emerging market context challenges traditional international business theories. Globalization is widely discussed as are topics such as Csr, regulation, finance and communication.

Review

′This book is the ultimate companion for everyone interested in how to do business in emerging markets. With half of the globe′s population living there, emerging economies contribute more to the world GDP than advanced nations and grow at a much faster pace. Having shaped and witnessed Turkey′s transformation from import substitution to a liberal, export-oriented economy myself, I am fully conscious of the enormous potential as markets, traders, producers and even investors. Still, foreign companies actively engaging in emerging markets have to be aware of the political, legal, cultural and economic risks which their investments might entail. The attentive reader of this book will, however be perfectly prepared for a most profitable step into the future of growth′ -

′A very timely book for students and managers related to business opportunities and risks inherent in emerging markets. Written by some of the foremost experts in international business, it is a comprehensive, practical and highly readable book′ -

′The book is an excellent overview...[it] serves to remind us that understanding business on a global level involves factors which are hugely important, including "political stability, efficient institutions and good governance"′ Author: Roger Bell
