| Omschrijving | The course is practitioner oriented and provides a nuanced perspective on doing business in low income, high growth countries (emerging markets) such as Brazil, Russia, India and China. Primary emphasis is on, 1) Recognizing the uniqueness and challenges of the context characterizing the business environment in these economies such as rapidly evolving business environment, underdeveloped infrastructure, bottom of the pyramid consumers, and 2) How the context then shapes the nature and behavior of firms. From an academic perspective, the course emphasis is on recognizing and evaluating the assumptions and limitations of popular theories and frameworks, originally developed and applied in the context of developed economies. The course employs real business case studies to assess the relevance of theory in the context of emerging markets and to gain second-hand experience of the thought processes of top managers and CEOs grappling with business related challenges. |
