Article Review: Strategies That Fit Emerging Markets
According to Khanna and Krishna, multinational corporations acknowledge that globalization is one of the most critical challenges in business because it has become increasingly more stringent to pinpoint appropriate internationalization (63). It is harder to invest in developing countries because of the absence of specialized intermediaries contract-enforcing laws in emerging markets (Khanna and Krishna 63). Additionally, institutional voids and the absence of soft infrastructure in emerging markets hampers the execution of globalization strategies. Therefore, discussing the five context framework and three strategic choices that multi-national

However, executives have to analyze how open a country is and not rely on the economic classification. For example, according to Khanna and Krishna, many businesses consider India a more closed state in comparison to China because the Indian authorities give international corporations a lukewarm reception (67). However, people can travel in and out of India more freely, and the Indians are more open to ideas from the Western world. A country’s openness to multinational corporations leads to growth in financial intermediaries.
Although developing nations have opened their economies to international corporations, these companies still find it hard to access reliable information about customers, especially low-income earners (Khanna and Krishna 67). Multinational firms risk starting subsidiaries in developing countries due to the absence of useful data about consumer trends. The lack of sophisticated market research firms and advertising agencies in developing countries make it impossible for multinational corporations to find databases with consumption patterns, which would allow them to formulate favorable marketing

Before adapting any approaches, the corporation must determine if the advantages of venturing into the new market outweigh the costs it will incur. The corporation has to choose if it will adapt its business model to developing countries while keeping its primary value propositions constant. It can also change the contexts of its business model or avoid the emerging market altogether.
If a company chooses to adapt to the emerging market, it must fill the voids in the product markets (Khanna and Krishna 73). For example, Dell manufactures a wide variety of computers that are configured to the customers' requests. In the United States, Dell sells most of its products on the Internet. One of the benefits of this model is that the company did not have high levels of inventory, which is why it produced units when they were ordered. However, this strategy did not work in China because the Chinese citizens did not buy computers
Today we live in a glоbal econоmy in which the time taken for peоple to mоve between continents has been significantly rеduced and in which Internet and other connections make instant connections possible. So to be succеssful these days, even small businesses must plan their marketing strategies to attract cоnsumer interest outside of their local markets. Although there are risks involved, there also are plenty of аdvantages to expanding a business worldwide. If you don’t offer a product on the world market, a competitor probably will. Some types of businesses are more аppropriate than others for global market expаnsion.
Market All countries have a very different lifestyle. Having a global strategy does not mean that a company should serve the entire globe. Critical choices include deciding where to spend resources and where to hang back. The usual approach is to start by picking regions and then countries within them. Market data might be more readily available in situations where the firm is grouping markets according to existing structures and frameworks.

Transparency International (2016) has ranked the nation #8 in the world in its Corruption Perception Index, showcasing a low amount of corruption. Furthermore, the country is ‘the most globalised’ in the world, with a score of 92.84 in the KOF Globalisation index (ETH Zurich, 2017). This signals a high degree of political openness to global economic, social and political integration. Likewise, The Heritage Foundation states that “Openness to global trade and investment is well established, and the overall regulatory environment remains transparent and efficient.” (Index of Economic Freedom, 2017).
In order to be succeed on international market, it’s very important point to define the international strategy. If to define the international strategy: an international strategy is when a company hires a strategy through which its goods and services are sold out of its local market. Enlarging into international markets allows potential opportunities to companies. Let’s see the IKEA’s international strategy in the following Figure 1. IKEA has expanded from a small, family-owned home furniture corporation into a global retailer within 385 stores in 48 countries, during its 72-year history.
The 1960s and 1970s were decades of political turmoil in Latin American countries , in a political and diplomatic climate strongly influenced by the dynamics of the Cold War. This formed the background for the work of the writers of the Latin American Boom, and defined the context in which their sometimes radical ideas had to operate The Latin American Boom was a literary movement that not only impacted literature but impacted politics throughout Latin America gateway to modern Latin American Literature that created an international profile and left be-hind a worldwide reputation with these talented and rebellious novelists freely expressing their political views within their writings it was only a matter of time before change began. Although
The external business environment consists of a set of external factors, such as economic factors, social factors, political and legal factors, demographic factors, technical factors amongst others, which are not controllable in nature and affects the business decisions of a firm. The external environment includes opportunities and threats which can impact on the marketing strategy of Huawei. As mentioned, marketers cannot control the factors of the external environment. However, they should try to understand the changes in the external environment and assess the impact of those changes on the target market. In fact, a proper understanding of these factors helps organizations to identify potential business opportunities and threats in the international market (Baines et al., 2011).

In 1974, Delhaize took its first step of internationalization by entering the US market. He progressively acquired market shares in US and continued its internationalization process by entering Southeastern Europe in the early 1990s, and the Indonesian market in 1997. In this section we will try to understand the pressures that pushed Delhaize to internationalize. George Yip provides a framework to analyze the “globalization drivers” that are most likely to influence a company’s decisions to expend its business internationally. The four drivers of internationalization that he identified are: market drivers, cost drivers, government drivers and competitive drivers.
Definition of emerging market In terms of investors emerging markets are used to describe developing countries, in which investment would be expected to achieve higher returns but it would be ac-companied by a higher risk. Emerging markets are between developed markets. “Even index providers cannot agree on precisely what constitutes an emerging mar-ket. MSCI, the US company that introduced the benchmark MSCI Emerging Market index in 1988, defines an emerging market in terms of the number of quoted compa-nies of a certain size and “free float” (the proportion of shares available for ordinary investors to buy), plus a market’s openness to foreign ownership and capital.
POLITICAL Political factors can often give a big impact on the business of a company. Often this factor is not in the hand of the organization. Several aspects of government policies can make a huge difference. However, all firls are required to follow the law. It is the responsibility of the organization to find how upcoming legislations can affect their activities.
(Apple computer,inc 2003) Porter 's single diamond framework holds that a multinational enterprise builds on a home base to achieve international competitiveness. (Alan M. Rugman 1993) this Porter’s Diamond Model established by
What is normally suggested is that if a firm is producing, manufacturing or reselling goods that they usually export since it is the easiest and least risky method. The risk that occurs if this type of strategy is used is that the firm depends on the company that will be exporting to and their customers in order for their product to be known. Yet other strategies include a joint-venture, licensing and franchising, foreign direct investment, and strategic alliances which even though they have more risk than just exporting they are more likely to be used than full ownership. These strategies give the firm the opportunity to still have some control, at different levels, of how the product will be managed in the foreign country. An example of this is Kia Motors direct investment in Slovakia in 2004 or Volkswagen’s joint-venture with Skoda for a period of time in 1991.

Growing customer expectations result in shorter life cycle of products and this means that companies should make their processes more and more flexible adopting modularity and product platforms in order to overcome competitors. Companies who fail to meet dynamic customer needs are doomed to fail. To illustrate this we can consider Tata Motors that designed a car selling at $2500 having identified the need for cheap vehicles and introduced market-pull innovation. Though having some negative feedbacks on its security it is affordable for many families in India.
