This book examines the specific challenges faced by emerging market multinationals as they seek to develop their international operations and proposes actionable solutions for them. The authors seamlessly combine academic analyses with a rich selection of real-world cases to provide a clear framework for understanding some of the barriers that prevent firms from emerging economies from succeeding abroad and show readers what actions can be taken to achieve sustained international growth. With clear, concise arguments and examples that bring the discussion to life, this insightful book will appeal to managers and students alike"-- Provided by publisher.

This has resulted in a plethora of publications that discuss how such companies can challenge established multinationals from advanced economies and the distinct sources of competitive advantage they develop to achieve this"-- Provided by publisher.
