Today’s technology business managers are finding there are limited growth opportunities in saturated mature markets. To ensure short-term revenues and long-term growth, IT and telecommunications managers must be familiar with emerging markets like China, India, Brazil and Russia and the consumers in those markets. But what are emerging markets and how are they different than more-familiar developed economies? Who are these new consumers and how can technology companies design products and services that meet their distinct needs and preferences? The presentation will provide data and insights to aid business managers in their understanding of these new markets such as:

  • The definition of emerging markets and the characteristics that differentiate those markets.
  • The characteristics of the “average” emerging market consumer .
  • The implications of these characteristics on technology adoption and market dynamics.
