Advancing the discussion about emerging markets themse Already cited by the Financial Times, Forbes. Advancing the discussion about emerging markets themselves and how organizations can best leverage the potential of these regions, Tarun Khanna and Krishna Palepu — both well respected thinkers on the subject — argue there is more to sizing up these markets than just evaluating data points related to size, population, and growth potential. Khanna and Palepu say the primary exploitable characteristic of an emerging market are such voids, and though they create challenges, they also provide major opportunity both for multinationals and local contenders.

Great toolkits but a little boring at times Some really valuable toolkits for navigating emerging markets. My only criticism is it gets quite boring at times, often reading like a textbook. Jul 23, Ferdinand Sia rated it it was amazing. Winning in Emerging Markets offers valuable insights into private sector development in emerging markets. Professors Krishna G. Palepu and Tarun Khanna did a fantastic job articulating the institutional voids in such markets and how businesses can overcome them to be successful. Sep 08, Marks54 rated it really liked it. This is a book about how firms competing in emerging markets succeed. It is written by two Harvard Business School stars, so you know right away that it will have a unifying framework of some sort, which is then applied to a variety of firms and circumstances. Envisage it as an outline for a semester or quarter class at HBS, which you could supplement by purchasing additional articles or case studies about the specific firms discussed. As these books go, this is a good one and fairly enjoyable. I This is a book about how firms competing in emerging markets succeed. It is particularly noteworthy for two reasons -- the framework employed and the particular variety of firms discussed. The framework focuses on "institutional voids". What are those? Those are the different ways in which emerging markets are different from developed or "emerged", I guess markets. Developed markets are what we have in the US and Europe and Japan, more or less. The economic assumption is that to do well, firms need to be in competitive enough markets, but that if the market is structurally Winning in Emerging Markets: A Road Map for Strategy and Execution, then business cannot be conducted and firms cannot make any money. If the market Winning in Emerging Markets: A Road Map for Strategy and Execution a completely bad structure, then it does not make sense to be there Somalia, for example. However, if the market is only missing some of the factors that make Western markets workable, then the firm can take steps to adjust. The "institutional voids" are what different emerging markets are missing. The book proceeds by providing examples of how specific companies Microsoft to steps to adjust for shortcomings of specific markets China and by successfully adjusting became profitable. The other strength of the book is that it does not just focus on western firms, but also includes firms that are developing out of emerging markets to compete globally -- Tata Industries, for example, or Ayala -- a firm from the Phillipines. The book also Winning in Emerging Markets: A Road Map for Strategy and Execution a wide range of markets, including not just India and China, but also Brazil and Winning in Emerging Markets: A Road Map for Strategy and Execution. The shortcoming of a book like this is that once you get the idea Winning in Emerging Markets: A Road Map for Strategy and Execution the framework, you can see where the country examples are going without too much trouble -- so if you already know something about the markets, the insight-per-page value is used up fairly quickly. There are insights to get, however, and this book is far superior to typical trade approaches to winning in world markets, competing in India, or China, or Russia, or Brazil. The book is easy to read by adds value over straight description or a travel log. Those who wish to adventure further can but cases directly from the hbs publishing website and download them for additional info. Jun 04, Liam rated it it was amazing. Ideally, every economy would provide a range of institutions to facilitate the functioning of markets, but developing countries fall short in a number of ways. These institutional voids mak a market 'emerging' and are a prime source of higher transaction costs and operating challenges in these markets. Apr 18, David rated it it was amazing. A fantastic piece of work for anyone interested in trade and value networks. May 11, Ginger rated it really liked it. I had to read this for a board meeting.

About the Winning in Emerging Markets: A Road Map for Strategy and Execution : - The best way to select emerging markets to exploit is to evaluate their size or growth potential, right? Not according to Tarun Khanna and Krishna Palepu. In Winning in Emerging Markets, these leading scholars on the subject present a decidedly different framework for making this crucial choice. The authors argue that the primary exploitable characteristic of emerging markets is the lack of institutions credit card systems, intellectual property adjudication, data research firms that facilitate efficient business operations. While such institutional voidspresent challenges, they also provide major opportunities for multinationals and local contenders. Khanna and Palepu provide a playbook for assessing emerging markets potential and for crafting strategies for succeeding in those markets. They explain how to: Spot institutional voids in developing economies, including in product, labour, and capital markets, as well as social and political systems Identify opportunities to fill those voids, for example, by building or improving market institutions yourself Exploit those opportunities through a rigorous five-phase process, including studying the market over time and acquiring new capabilities Packed with vivid examples and practical toolkits, Winning in Emerging Markets is a crucial resource for any company seeking to define and execute business strategy in developing economies.

  • Can India Overtake China? Foreign Policy
    CCaann IInnddiiaa OOvveerrttaakkee CChhiinnaa?? What’s the fastest route to economic development? Welcome foreign direct investment (FDI), says China, and most policy experts agree. But a comparison with long-time laggard India suggests that FDI is not the only path to pros- perity. Indeed, India’s homegrown entrepreneurs may give it a long-term advantage over a China hamstrung by inefficient banks and capital markets. By Yasheng Huang and Tarun Khanna AP WIDEWORLD 74 Foreign Policy That is because China’s export-led manufactur- ing boom is largely a creation of foreign direct investment (fdi), which effectively serves as a sub- stitute for domestic entrepreneurship. During the last 20 years, the Chinese economy has taken off, but few local firms have followed, leaving the country’s private sector with no world-class companies to rival the big multinationals. India has not attracted anywhere near the amount of fdi that China has. In part, this disparity reflects the confidence international investors have in China’s prospects and their skepticism about India’s commit- ment to free-market reforms. But the fdi gap is also a tale of two diasporas. China has a large and wealthy diaspora that has long been eager to help the moth- erland, and its money has been warmly received. By contrast, the Indian diaspora was, at least until recent- ly, resented for its success and much less willing to invest back home. New Delhi took a dim view of Indians who had gone abroad, and of foreign invest- ment generally, and instead provided a more nurtur- ing environment for domestic entrepreneurs.

  • 374 Networks of Power and Influence Board Interlocks in India 1995-2007
    WORKING PAPER NO: 374 Networks of Power and Influence Board Interlocks in India 1995-2007 – An Empirical Investigation S. Chandrashekar Professor Corporate Strategy and Policy Indian Institute of Management Bangalore Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore – 5600 76 Ph: 080-2699 3041 [email protected] K. Muralidharan Duisenberg School of Finance Netherlands [email protected] Year of Publication-September 2012 Networks of Power & Influence Board Interlocks in India 1995-2007 – An Empirical Investigation Abstract The Board interlock networks for 166 Indian companies have been studied for the period 1995 to 2007. The most well connected companies and the most well connected directors have been identified from this data set. The Indian network has also been compared with the networks of other countries for which similar data is available. Apart from studying the trends in the evolution and the dynamics of change in this network, the continuity of relationships between companies during this period has been a special focus of our study. This reveals that 45 percent of all companies in our sample set have remained continuously connected for more than ten years indicating a very stable core network. Family, caste and to some extent geography seem to be the important factors that determine this inner core network. The education and background of the Directors of the inner core network have also been compared with those of the Board interlock network for 2007. Based on our empirical findings and a survey of the Board Interlock literature a research agenda is suggested. This not only tries to address the specific issues that could be studied using Board interlock data but also covers the larger issues of institutions for corporate governance in the Indian context.

  • Design Or Serendipity? : the Rise of India Software Industry Tarun
    Design or Serendipity? : The Rise of India Software Industry Tarun Khanna and Krishna Palepu Harvard Business School June 16, 2003 Preliminary and Incomplete Design or Serendipity? : The Rise of India Software Industry 1. Introduction This paper the historical forces associated with the rise of the software industry, the crown jewel of post-independent Indian economy. After India attained its independence in 1947, the government led by the then Prime Minister Jawarhalal Nehru, and influenced by the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, adopted a socialistic economic model. The intent of the economic model was to restrict the influence of domestic private industry which was primarily controlled by family owned business groups, and foreign multinational corporations. State owned enterprises and banks were seen as the engines of economic growth and development. There is little dispute among economists and contemporary observers of India that in the subsequent half a century, India’s economic performance has been relatively poor. However, a stunning exception to this general characterization of the Indian economy is the dramatic rise of the Indian software industry in the past two decades. During this period, it rose from nothing to a vibrant industry with several globally competitive firms with a global customer and investor base. Today, India has become the destination of the world’s major software companies as a potential location for a significant portion of their own operations. In this paper, we seek to understand why the software industry has been able to grow and thrive in India while the rest of the economy has been languishing. Our analysis examines the role of specialized intermediaries in furthering the growth of the Indian software industry.

  • The Global Initiative in 2018
    OCTOBER 1, 2018 The Global Initiative in 2018 In January 2011, a few months after becoming the tenth dean of Harvard Business School, Nitin Nohria outlined in a letter to the community five strategic priorities—what would become known as the "five Is"—for the School. They reflected input and feedback he had gleaned through hundreds of conversations with alumni, faculty, staff, students, and other friends of HBS. In addition to innovation, intellectual ambition, inclusion, and integration, Nohria outlined in the letter his thoughts about internationalization: Our strategy is to leverage Harvard Business School's scale and size not by greatly expanding our physical footprint, but by expanding our larger intellectual footprint.... Our plan is to prudently develop the regional centers my predecessors were so perspicacious in starting, so as to facilitate the research and teaching activities that will enable us to form important relationships and develop and test new ideas across the globe. Ultimately, we'll bring that knowledge back to HBS, and we'll seek to provide an experience for our students and participants that is unmatched in its global breadth of analysis and understanding. Fast forward almost eight years later, and Nohria and colleague Lynn Paine, Senior Associate Dean for International Development,1 were preparing for the October meeting of the Global Advisory Boards and Global Leadership Council. With the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Asia-Pacific Research Center (APRC) just a few months away, it seemed an opportune moment to take stock and examine which aspects of the School's global strategy were working well and which were not.
