8 Diaspora Marketing Few corporations from emerging markets have succeeded in establishing brands in the West. But some emerging giants, such as the Indian bank ICICI and the maker of the Mexican beer Tecate, have adopted a savvy, inexpensive approach to establishing themselves abroad: targeting the emigrants who have left their homelands. Harvard Business Review #R1310H Going Abroad in Search of Higher Productivity at Home Research on cross-border acquisitions shows that, contrary to conventional wisdom, they don t hamper domestic operations they add to their efficiency and productivity.

Harvard Business Review #F1406B How Emerging Giants Can Take on the World Companies in developing countries are often so focused on chasing growth that they fail to invest in improving their innovation, operations, and brand management.

9 Reading Global Clients Signals Many global executives rely on customer satisfaction surveys such as the Net Promoter Score to gauge the health of their client relationships.

These surprising facts help explain what is making this diverse and complex continent boom. Harvard Business Review #F1310Z Shattering the Myths About U.S. Trade Policy Many Americans blame free trade for their nation s economic slide, but the authors research shows that free trade has been assigned a villainous role that far exceeds its real impact.

Harvard Business Review #R1203Q Why Conglomerates Thrive (Outside the U.S.) Conglomerates are flourishing in emerging markets. The authors, who studied Indian business groups for 5 years, believe that the key to these organizations success is their structure. Unlike corporate divisions, a group s affiliate companies are legally independent, which allows them to raise capital, set strategies, and create incentives more effectively. Harvard Business Review #R1312H Popular Articles Cracking the Next Growth Market: Africa Africa is the third fastest-growing economic region in the world, but political instability and poverty have made it an unattractive market to develop. Citing a McKinsey study, the authors argue that despite the challenges, companies can no longer afford to ignore Africa.

Despite significant markets and hype, few multinational firms have built sizable businesses serving consumers or producers that survive on just a few dollars a day. The reasons, the authors suggest, are the difficulties of getting prices low enough to attract consumers and managing distributed low-income producers.

Drawing on an ongoing 30-year global survey, they describe how some companies reconcile cultural differences to create a powerful platform for innovation. Harvard Business Review #W1104A Making It Overseas Many talented executives fail in overseas assignments. What success abroad truly hinges on is something called a global mind-set a mind-set that allows executives to cope with unfamiliar cultures and influence stakeholders who are unlike them.
