Rules Of The Game

The fragility of the global economy has been evidenced extensively over the past few years. The rapidity at which change can impact worldwide economies has invigorated a major concern in emerging economies. That concern is one of how to play the game when the rules of the game are changing and not completely known. The intent of this research agenda is to fuse early ideas in emerging markets with more recent research from a wide variety of scholars so as to develop a 21st century research agenda for emerging economies. This research agenda offers 20 broad research questions within the emerging economies context, with a major focus on challenges, institutional voids, and growth strategies.

The World

Most marketing, and particularly marketing communications concepts and approaches, have been developed and codified in western economies. Academicians and professionals have then tried to export those concepts to emerging markets, often with little success. In this paper, we argue many of those concepts are not applicable or relevant for the emerging economies around the world. Yet, due to the constrained and controlled nature of academic publishing, little new information has been developed or distributed on the differences and needs of scholars and professionals in emerging economies. This paper suggests a new marketing communications research agenda for emerging economies based on four specific areas: (1) consumers and consumer behaviors, (2) brands and branding, (3) communication content and context and (4) emerging communication delivery systems. The authors encourage editors of academic journals to recognize the need and be more open to emerging economy research and papers.

This chapter sets the stage for this Handbook by defining the research field of managing in emerging markets. It first discusses the features that normally distinguish emerging economies from the advanced economies of the Triad, including both economic and institutional aspects of development. Second, the chapter reviews alternative definitions of the term in use in scholarly research, and thus the pivotal question: When should a country be considered “emerging”? Third, it presents data on key economic trends that have to led to emerging economies becoming key players in international business, both as a host to inward traders and investors and, more recently, as a source of indigenous businesses that make their mark internationally. The chapter also provides an overview of each chapter in this Handbook within the broader research agenda on managing in emerging markets.

Entrepreneurship In Emerging Markets

ABSTRACT Working for multinational companies (MNCs) is often viewed as a privilege for host country nationals (HCNs) in emerging economies. This raises the question: Why do HCNs leave their jobs to pursue the hardship of establishing their own business? This article addresses this question by adopting a phenomenon-based approach to study 12 professional service firms in Vietnam. We explore why HCNs initially become entrepreneurs and identify how they make this transition. We reveal several idiosyncratic motivations and identify four types of migration pathways: MNC returnee, committed hybrid, transitional hybrid, and direct spin-off. Our findings address the shortcomings of the existing HCNs literature that centers on MNCs’ view and employee entrepreneurship literature that overlooks the context of emerging markets. We find evidence that institutional voids often promote, rather than suppress, entrepreneurship in emerging markets. Importantly, by taking a local perspective, our findings help MNCs increase their awareness that in the fast-growing market of Vietnam, a brain drain might occur as a result of HCNs becoming entrepreneurs.

Shahid Javed Burki’s Changing Perceptions and Altered Realities: Emerging Economies in the 1990s is a collection of his essays and speeches on a variety of economic issues relevant to developing countries. These range from the trend towards open regionalism in the Latin American and Caribbean region (LAC) to the challenges of integrating into the global economy faced by small states. Three points in particular are of great help in understanding the nature of the problems faced by emerging economies over the past decade. First, there exist great differences within the developing world and, by extension, in the ranks of the poor. Second, the complexity of the situation demands that domestic institutions in developing countries be made stronger and more efficient. And third, market-based policies, though far from perfect, represent the best available set of solutions to the many problems faced by the developing world.

ObjectiveTo obtain feedback and seek future directions for an ISDS initiativeto establish and update research questions in Informatics, Analytics,Communications, and Systems Research with the greatest perceivedimpact for improving surveillance practice.IntroductionOver the past fifteen years, syndromic surveillance (SyS) hasevolved from a set ofad hocmethods used mostly in post-disastersettings, then expanded with broad support and development becauseof bioterrorism concerns, and subsequently evolved to a maturetechnology that runs continuously to detect and monitor a widerange of health issues. Continued enhancements needed to meetthe challenges of novel health threats with increasingly complexinformation sources will require technical advances focused onday-to-day public health needs.Since its formation in 2005, the International Society for DiseaseSurveillance (ISDS) has sought to clarify and coordinate globalpriorities in surveillance research. As part of a practitioner-driveninitiative to identify current research priorities in SyS, ISDS polledits members about capabilities needed by SyS practitioners that couldbe improved as a result of research efforts. A taskforce of the ISDSResearch Committee, consisting of national and global subject matterexperts (SMEs) in SyS and ISDS professional staff, carried out theproject. This panel will discuss the results and the preferred means todetermine and communicate priorities in the future.

Institutional Challenges

The purpose of this paper was to investigate and analyze the negative impact of emerging economies&rsquo; institutional challenges on western multinational corporations (MNCs) operating there. The content analysis methodology was used. The paper reveals that emerging markets&rsquo; institutional voids affect western MNCs in terms of cost of doing business, strategy development and overall competitiveness. The conclusions derived from the analysis is that despite emerging economies investment opportunities, rapid economic and demand growth, their competitive landscape can negatively impact western MNCs ability to succeed in these markets. This is due to imprudent policies and inadequate governance structures implemented by emerging market policymakers. The article begins with a brief introductory background of emerging economies. This is followed by objectives of the paper, research method, and the theoretical underpinnings for the motivations of western MNCs to pursue overseas markets in emerging economies. It then provides an analysis of the role and significance of emerging economies in the global economy. This is followed by a critical review of MNCs strategies in emerging markets, and effects of emerging market institutional challenges on MNCs. Then, the implications for MNCs competitiveness in emerging markets are examined. Finally, recommendations for success for both prospective and current MNCs doing business in emerging economies are explored.

The Impact

A major application of potentiometric dyes has been the multisite optical recording of electrical activity in excitable systems. After being championed by L.B. Cohen and his colleagues for the past 20 years, the impact of this technology is rapidly being felt and is spreading to an increasing number of neuroscience laboratories. A second class of experiments involves using dyes to image membrane potential distributions in single cells by digital imaging microscopy - a major focus of this lab. These studies usually do not require the temporal resolution of multisite optical recording, being primarily focussed on slow cell biological processes, and therefore can achieve much higher spatial resolution. We have developed 2 methods for quantitative imaging of membrane potential. One method uses dual wavelength imaging of membrane-staining dyes and the other uses quantitative 3D imaging of a fluorescent lipophilic cation; the dyes used in each case were synthesized for this purpose in this laboratory.
