MANAGEMENT RESEARCH NEWS
Call for Papers: Special issue on "Strategy in Emerging Markets"
Guest Editor: Prof Rajesh K Pillania, Management Development Institute, India.
Relevancy and Importance of the Topic
The role and significance of emerging markets in the global economy is continuously increasing. The term ‘emerging market’ was originally coined by IFC to describe a fairly narrow list of middle-to-higher income economies among the developing countries, with stock markets in which foreigners could buy securities. The term’s meaning has since been expanded to include more or less all developing countries. With a high growth rate and still significant untapped potential, emerging markets are the growth engines of the world economy. These markets offer enormous opportunities to both individuals and organizations. At the same time these environments also provide numerous challenges. How to face those challenges and successfully serve the markets requires substantial strategic thought, guidance and implementation. Contributions are invited on various aspects of strategy in emerging markets.
