{PDF} Winning in Emerging Markets: a Road Map for Strategy And WINNING IN EMERGING MARKETS: A ROAD MAP FOR STRATEGY AND EXECUTION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Krishna G. Palepu, Tarun Khanna | 272 pages | 18 May 2010 | Harvard Business Review Press | 9781422166956 | English | Boston, MA, United States [PDF] Winning in Emerging Markets: A Road Map for Strategy and Execution | Semantic Scholar A transformation requires a catalyst. For many technology organizations, the cloud has been this catalyst, freeing up resources and talent to tinker, create, and test products and providing better scalability, agility, and security without a significant capital outlay. Technology leaders estimate that they will spend 44 percent of their technology budgets on cloud and Software as a Service SaaS solutions in three years. Fresh talent can often infuse organizations with the new skills and thinking required to reimagine technology. However, moderation is advisable: Current talent has invaluable business context, history, experience, and relationships that can be leveraged to build trust and credibility. When a wave of external hires is tasked with executing rapid transformation while learning the ropes of a new job, costly mistakes can happen. A mix of internal and external talent is often the right answer; increasingly, companies are looking across the talent continuum for creative ways of accessing talent and skills. Changes in senior leadership typically have an exponentially larger impact than new entry- or mid-level hires. One CIO who hired three new external direct reports out of a total of seven found that the new leaders helped encourage existing staff to be less resistant to change. Nothing is sacred. Complex projects such as ERP implementations can take years to complete, outlasting multiple management changes. One CIO who inherited such a project decided to terminate it, even though the effort was already 18 months in the making. Costs were skyrocketing, and he was confident that that the remaining project expense would be better spent on a business application that could dramatically increase operational efficiencies. Tackle technical debt. Many organizations have taken on technical debt due to inefficient code, systems, or processes—usually caused by resource and time constraints during initial project deployment. Technical debt can lead to complex, fickle, and rigid technology environments; a buildup of technical debt can extend project deadlines, increase costs, and become an obstacle of long-term agility and growth. Reducing technical debt can be a daunting and expensive task that can take years, a luxury that most CIOs lack. Have a clear, consistent narrative. Change initiatives typically require enormous amounts of communication and change management, including a clear narrative and messaging, jointly created by the technology and business functions, which describes the purpose and objectives of the reimagining technology initiative. Many organizations change the name of the IT function to suggest that the traditional IT function no longer exists and that the new function is operating under new mandates, operating model, and rules of engagement. Create a consortium or ecosystem. Cocreation does not usually occur in a vacuum. Businesses have access to an abundance of technologies and talent via ecosystems of internal and external business partners that can accelerate cocreation and share technical and financial risks and rewards. Joining or creating a consortium or a less formal partner ecosystem can provide access to a pool of resources that can benefit all participants. Redraw the map. The proposed change in the technology operating model typically requires business and technology functions to come together to realign important boundary conditions: culture, leadership, talent, and incentives. Collectively, these should be realigned to match the unified business—technology strategy. Accountability breeds responsibility. If the business and technology functions are to jointly cocreate solutions and products, every team member is accountable for the success of the product. Roles, responsibilities, and accountabilities should clearly be identified up front and performance consistently measured against accountabilities and outcomes. Identifying and measuring cultural and behavioral goals and rewarding progress can help ensure accountability and deliver business outcomes.

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. 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 troubled, then business cannot be conducted and firms cannot make any money. If the market has 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 covers a wide range of markets, including not just India and China, but also Brazil and Turkey. The shortcoming of a book like this is that once you get the idea of 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.

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.

Corporate Governance Convergence: Lessons from the Indian Experience Afra Afsharipour* Abstract: Over the past two decades, corporate governance reforms have emerged as a centralfocus of corporatelaw in countries across the development spectrum. Various legal scholars studying these reform efforts have engaged in a vigorous debate about whether globalization will lead to convergence of corporategovernance laws toward one model of governance: namely the Anglo- American, dispersed shareholder model, or whether existing national characteristicswill thwart convergence. Despite rapid economic growth and reforms in developing countries such as India, the legal literature discussing this debateprimarily focuses on developed economies. This Article examines recent corporategovernance reforms in India as a case study for evaluating the competing claims on global convergence of corporate governance standards currently polarizing the field of corporate law. This Article seeks to make a fresh contribution to the convergence debate by examining the implications of India 's corporate governance reform efforts. It contends that the Indian experience demonstrates that traditional theories predicting convergence, or a lack thereof fail to fully capture the trajectory of actual corporate governance reforms.

Overcoming Institutional Voids: A Reputation-Based View of Long Run Survival Cheng Gao Harvard Business School Tiona Zuzul London Business School Geoffrey Jones Harvard Business School Tarun Khanna Harvard Business School Abstract Emerging markets are characterized by underdeveloped institutions and frequent environmental shifts. Yet they also contain many firms that have survived over generations. How are firms in weak institutional environments able to persist over time? Motivated by 69 interviews with leaders of emerging market firms with histories spanning generations, we combine induction and deduction to propose reputation as a meta-resource that allows firms to activate their conventional resources. We conceptualize reputation as consisting of prominence, perceived quality, and resilience, and develop a process model that illustrates the mechanisms that allow reputation to facilitate survival in ways that persist over time. Building on research in strategy and business history, we thus shed light on an underappreciated strategic construct (reputation) in an under-theorized setting (emerging markets) over an unusual period (the historical long run).

  • 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.

    Draft, please do not circulate CROWDSOURCING LONG-RUN MEMORIES OF INVOLUNTARY MIGRATORY DISPLACEMENT: A MIXED METHODS ANALYSIS OF THE 1947 PARTITION OF BRITISH INDIA Tarun Khanna (a,b,c), Karim Lakhani (a,b,c), Shubhangi Bhadada (b), Ruihan Wang (c), Michael Menietti (c), Tiara Bhatacharya (b)1 This version: January 29, 2020 ABSTRACT We investigate, using mixed methods, the long-run memories of the aftermath of forced displacement resulting from the 1947 Partition of British India, the largest involuntary migration in recorded human history. The data, in the form of oral narratives of survivors, were collected via a modified form of respondent-driven sampling more than seventy years after the “shock” to the preceding structures of British India. The data are also unique in their focus on disadvantaged populations, featuring voices that are usually left out of ‘history,’ and because they are collected across all three contemporary nations (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan). The latter feature has eluded prior work, given South Asia’s political tensions, itself the result of Partition. In contrast to prior analyses of Partition, mostly qualitative by historians, we attempt diverse forms of quantification to reconfirm some conventional wisdom, and to uncover other correlations that might shed light on the institutional underpinnings of the affected societies. For example, our finding that migrants into Pakistan generally view Partition less negatively than migrants into India, despite the former’s greater subsequent economic losses, suggests the privileging of narrative and the politics of identity over material well-being. Lower socio-economic status groups suffer more than those that were relatively well-off.

  • Business Groups in Emerging Markets: Paragons Or Parasites?
    Review of Economics and Institutions Review of ISSN 2038-1379 DOI 10.5202/rei.v6i1.174 ECONOMICS and INSTITUTIONS Vol. 6 – No. 1, Winter-Spring 2015 – Article 2 www.rei.unipg.it Business Groups in Emerging Markets: Paragons or Parasites? Tarun Khanna Yishay Yafeh Harvard Business School Jerusalem School of Business Administration Abstract: Diversified business groups, consisting of legally independent firms operating across diverse industries, are ubiquitous in emerging markets. Groups around the world share certain attributes but also vary substantially in structure, ownership, and other dimensions. This paper proposes a business group taxonomy, which is used to formu- late hypotheses and present evidence about the reasons for the formation, prevalence, and evolution of groups in different environments. In interpreting the evidence, the authors pay particular attention to two aspects neglected in much of the literature: the circumstances under which groups emerge and the historical evidence on some of the questions addressed by recent studies. They argue that business groups are responses to different economic conditions and that, from a welfare standpoint, they can some- times be “paragons” and, at other times, “parasites.” The authors conclude with an agenda for future research.
