Emerging markets represent a vital source for the continued growth of most multinational corporations (MNCs). Consequently, these firms are investing heavily into emerging-market solutions, business models and partnerships. However, some of the most critical obstacles to successful revenue growth in emerging markets are internal to the MNCs. Providing specific examples from technology businesses, this presentation will focus on the causes, symptoms and potential solutions for overcoming these challenges. This presentation will address the following inhibitors:

  • Corporate incentive structures: short-term performance over longer-term business investment and execution.
  • Competing priorities between technological innovation and innovative business models.
  • Data sources and market analysis: misrepresentation of developing-country business opportunities.
