Though rapidly transforming economies, so-called Emerging Markets (EMs), have captured the attention of western businesses. Yet managers are often under informed and hold some misperceptions as to their nature and attractiveness. What do we know about potential business partners? What should we know about EM consumers and their expectations? How large is middle class in each EM, and how can we measure it? How do various countries stack up in terms of the evolution of middle class? What do we know about the new entrepreneurial class in EMs? What are the arguments for city-based vs. country based marketing? These and related issues make up a promising research avenue for scholars of international business. In this conversation, Professor Cavusgil will highlight meritorious research topics and offer suggestions for future investigations.
Location: Washington, D.C.
