• A high degree of infrastructure and educational investment
• A progressive shift from agriculture and services
• An economy in which market mechanisms play an increasing
role
• Opening of their market to international trade and investment.

• Rural focus
• Products built to last
• Unskilled work process
• Adapt supply chains to local conditions
• Products designed for hostile environments
• Hybrid technology: combination of advanced and adaptation
• Find new price–performance relationships leading to quality at low prices
• Products, service functionalities and packaging reinvented for local conditions
• Promotion relies less on mass advertising and more on educational campaigns
using government programs and NGOs

The Strategic Logic of Emerging Countries Competitors
• Use their knowledge of local environment
• Use their “national” preference
• Use their low-labor cost
• Sometimes use their natural resource
On the Domestic Front On the International Front
• Dominate Bottom of the Pyramid
• Gain volume
• Progressively push their capabilities
upward
• Eventually compete head-on with
multinational players
• Export low cost products
• Buy ( copy??) technology

Chinese companies disrupt global competition through
COST INNOVATION:
using cost advantages in radically new ways to offer customers
around the world dramatically more for less
Start in China and overcome fragmentation
Export by looking for loose bricks in competitors’ defense

In most emerging countries the industrial, financial and trading
sectors are controlled by three groups of players:
• Government-owned enterprises
• The multinationals
• The domestic “business groups”
The domestic business groups exhibit typical characteristics:
• Highly diversified
• Personally controlled
• Most often controlled by families or ethnic groups

Why so Important in Emerging Countries?
Privileged Access to Scarce Resources;
Political power
Information
Financial
Business opportunities
Monopolies
Reputation attracts best talent
Benefit from Market imperfections
Simplified “business systems”
61. 61
In each of the businesses, limited competition (monopolies, oligopolies)
Innovation (products, processes) is purchased (licensing, joint venture)
Marketing is essentially a matter of sales and distribution:
Brands are sourced externally, products also....
The key managerial task is to run logistics and production efficiently
(Reduced complexity, no search for synergies)
Innovation Logistics/
Production

Why So Diversified?
62. 62
Progressively Changing…
Markets pressures: globalization, deregulation
Increased competition - both domestic and international
More complexity of management because of the need to develop
own R&D and marketing capabilities.
Increasing financial stakes due to the move towards capital intensive
activities
Overcapacities
Higher dependencies on foreign capital

Consequences ?
Since the early 2000s, a large number of Asian Entrepreneurial Conglomerates
have announced a series of moves under the generic name of :
RESTRUCTURING
• COST CUTTING: (wage cuts, bonus freezes, headcount reductions)
• DEBT RESTRUCTURING:( See 200% D/E ratio imposed in Korea)
• PORTFOLIO REDEFINITION: (Definition of Core Business,
concentration of similar activities in the same group, intergroup mergers )
•DIVESTMENT OF NON-CORE ACTIVITIES: (spinning off, or selling off)
•REORGANIZATION: ( flatter structures, decentralization of decision-making)
“ We’ve expanded too much. Now we need to focus only on businesses in
which we have a strong potential. It is impossible for us to maintain 100
different businesses under the current situation” - Samsung
