Purpose – Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – Globalization continues to have enormous consequences for business. One of the most intriguing thus far is the way that many firms defy humble origins to secure multinational status. Those that started life in an emerging market are a prime example of this transformation. Logic says that it should not really happen. After all, it is usually tough for any foreign company to crack an overseas market. Having to adjust to different regulations, cultural practices and business norms ensures that. There is often discrimination to overcome too. For emerging market multinationals (EMMs), such challenges are magnified to a considerable degree. If that is not enough, these companies are up against firms from advanced nations. That means competition boasting more resources, more knowledge, more international experience and a more recognized brand name. By definition, an EMM is a relatively new kid on the block in all these respects.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Any discussion about business or economic success will invariably see the notion of competitiveness raised by participants. The elusive nature of the concept ensures it has remained a source of considerable debate. Its significance is obviously not in doubt though. For long enough, a narrow view of competitiveness was the norm. An almost total emphasis on costs prevailed. The core premise of this perspective is that companies, industries and nations compete solely on the basis of price. Challenge from low-cost market entrants still prompts such reactions today. Advocates of this thinking argue that reducing wages and other costs is the most appropriate response. The difficulty in sustaining a competitive position based on costs alone aptly illustrates the limitations of such a focus. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.
