We have all heard about the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) and how they are influencing the world economy. How can a company enter those and other emerging countries, whether to sell in, buy from or invest? Most importantly, once set up, how can a company engage the local staff to make the project successful? I studied this issue over a year ago and prepared a presentation on it. Have a look. As you can see, I consider women talent in those countries very under-utilized. They might be the secret to project success.

There is so much incivility today that the way to argue issues and achieve something has weakened. Therefore, I studied, applied and presented some concepts on how to argue. I hope this presentation is helpful to you.
Every week for the past several months I have been uploading presentations on my international business travels covering some of the over 70 countries I've been to. This is the final presentation in this series and the worst of all the trips. In spite of this tragedy, I continue to enjoy traveling globally. Have a look at the events in this presentation. If you'd like to know more about the hijacking, have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c72aZ5UxbxA&t=3s
As so much technology comes from Europe, the total economy is so huge and each country has its own characteristics, I have traveled extensively there both on sales training projects and developing distributors in each country. This presentation is quite long, so pick the countries you are interested in and just have a look at them. Hopefully you'll find something interesting in them.
I have traveled to many cities in the United States, but over the past 15 years I have found some cities particularly impressive. From Nashville and its music to San Antonio and it river walk, I found some real adventures. Here are six cities I very much liked going to on business trips.
Here is my experience working in Australia and New Zealand. Those two countries have interesting contrasts and similarities to Japan. They have a wealth of natural resources, but Japan does not. They both have low populations for their land sizes, but Japan has a huge population. Japan and New Zealand have similarities in that they both have wonderful natural hot springs, are island nations and are very mountainous. Have a look.
Working in & Traveling to Southern South AmericaRon McFarland
If you think about it, the southern part of South America is the farthest place on earth from Japan, where I live. Therefore, if you travel there you much achieve as much as possible/trip. I usually made 1-month business trips there. It is an important region of the world though with Brazil in particular being a major global country. I have worked in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile. I loved them all. Have a look at my travels there.
During my sales training days, I traveled to the northern part of South America several times, only one time to Colombia though. Those countries are very dependent on the production and export of crude oil, particularly Venezuela (95% of exports). We hear in the news of all the problems of civil war and the drug trade regarding Colombia, but actually I think it is the most industrialized among Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. Also, Colombia has a good educational system and is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. I've enjoyed my travels there. Have a look.
Last week, I mentioned traveling in Central America. Although very close, the Caribean is very different. They countries are mostly tourism based, but there are very important raw materials in the region. Also, they have a mixture of some countries having a British colony history and others having a Spanish colony history. Mostly, it is a region to relax and have fun it. Here are my travels to Jamaica, the Dominian Republic, Puerto Rico, Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago.
Here are my travels to Central America. Each (Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama) are different. They all have a charm about them. I mainly gave light-duty truck sales seminars in that region. I hope you enjoy the tour.
About six months ago, I mentioned the importance of globalization to the world's economy. But, how does a company form a business strategy in the current environment? Have a look at the attached. Toward the end of the presentation are specific strategies to take. I hope it generates some business ideas to explore.
Over the years, I've worked in the Canary Islands, Malta, Cyprus and Israel. The Canary Islands was the stopping point of Columbus on his way to discover America. It is part of Spain today and is a tourist destination for Europeans. Malta too is a tourist spot. Interestingly, it has its own language (Maltese) and culture. Cyprus is divided between Greek Cyprus and Turkey. It too is mainly at tourism economy. Israel is the holy land with all the Western religions represented there. All are wonderful places. I worked there mainly giving seminars on pick-up truck and RWD vehicle selling. I hope you enjoy the slides.
West Africa is a region rich in natural resources from oil, to diamonds, to gold and a wide range of agricultural products. Unfortunately, it has a reputation for being the center of the slave trade in the 1600's to 1800's. The region is both English and French speaking. I traveled through that region many time, mostly to Ghana which is English speaking. Here are some slides of my vehicle training work in that region.
East Africa is where us humans originally came from. It is also where coffee was first discovered. I also has a wealth of natural resources. When I traveled through there, I found it the game park center of the world. I loved my business trips there not only for the beautiful animals and scenery but the people and cultures there as well. Have a look.
Between the 1990's and early 2000, I traveled and working in Northern Africa. I felt that that region was more like the Middle East than Africa though. I'd been to Morocco several times, one time to Tunisia and many times to Egypt. It is a region rich in natural resources which it is why it is so important for industrialized countries. Have a look at these slide to give you a feeling for the region. The region has politically greatly than when I was there though. I found wonderful people there.
Ron took his first trip abroad in 1972, traveling from Israel to Europe. He visited several major cities, including a city known for classical music, German-speaking cities where he used English, and a French wine region. The trip ended with a visit to Waterloo, where Napoleon was defeated, before returning from his first journey through Israel and Europe.

3. 3The market within these countries
Emerging market population by annual income
In emerging markets there is a great
percentage of the wealth at the top, but
most of the market demand and growth is
not here.
This middle group (2.6 billion people, as of
2005) has discretionary income and spend
on education, health, energy, transportation
and personal care.
This is where great demand growth will be
in the years ahead.
4 billion people live on less than US$2/day
in emerging markets. There is growing
demand here, but most products and
services usually needs supported with
NGO, foundation or government assistance.
4. 4Studying the market
1. Exhibitions: Present current product at exhibitions in the industry.
2. Customer visits: Visit target users with samples and ask what they
like and dislike and what price is appropriate.
3. Current products on market: Study what similar products are
available in the market now and at what price.
4. Surveys: Do one-on-one surveys to find out what people want.
5. Target group discussions: Prepare a prototype and conduct 20-
person meetings to get opinions on how it can be improved.

5. 5Uncover unmet needs
1. User observation: Study how the product is used now and
learn what users are trying to achieve.
2. Application search: Look for alternatives for your type of
product that consumers may buy. Investigate a wide range
of substitutes, not just what your competitors make.
3. Watch for compensating behavior. Discover what jobs
people are not performing well. Find better, less expensive,
faster or easier methods. Look for modifications by users.
4. Search for explanations. Uncover the root causes of
customers’ behavior by asking what people are trying to
accomplish with the goods and services they use.

1. Market research companies: In most emerging markets there are few quality market
research companies. Therefore, a foreign multinational must conduct its own studies
to find the target customer and offer what is needed.
2. Employee recruiting agencies: In most emerging markets there are few quality
executive search companies. Therefore, a foreign multinational must use its own
internal staff initially, then slowly develop and train local staff.
3. Business legal system and business agreement laws: Legal systems and business
laws can be unreliable and not enforced like in advanced nations.
4. Distribution system and transportation services: Distribution and transportation could
be a concern and different than a more advanced country.
5. Credit and payment systems: The local payment methods may be very different and
complicated. They might have to be improved on where possible.
6. Supplier quality and availability: Quite often the required suppliers and materials are
not available, or they are but do not reach the quality standard needed.
7. Local skills & trade school reliability: Technical skills required might not be available
or technical schools that offer those skills are not available.
8. Advertising, customer communications: Can the user read? How can a company
create awareness within the emerging market?
7. 7Key Emerging Market Strategies
1. Create customized offerings: Considering the company’s expertise and
strengths, notice how products are used in the market and modify current
company products to better serve the local situation.
2. Develop business models to overcome obstacles: Through data
gathering and small pilot runs, find out in detail what the obstacles are to
succeed. Learn what can be done to overcome them and if it is worth
the effort.
3. Deploy cutting-edge technologies: By using available, standardized
advanced technology, create jobs that need little training, experience
and skills (simple deskilled processes). Also, improve both speed and
quality of communication.
4. Tap low-cost labor: Study the cost of purchasing, installing and
maintaining advanced equipment, and compare that cost to local labor
cost. The hiring, training and supervising of local people could be much
less costly, and it can build a highly skilled organization for the future.
5. Build scale quickly: After success in one region, to avoid quick copying
by competition, a company should find trusted partners nationwide and
cover the whole country quickly.
6. Develop local management talent: Local management talent is always
a key to success. Developing local management is vital for growth.

After 15 years, McDonald’s took 80% of the fast-food Russian market.
McDonald’s in the US: McDonald’s outsources most of the supply chain operations
in the US and wanted to find suppliers for Russia in the same way.
Russian local suppliers: There were no qualified local suppliers no matter how hard
they looked.
Current European suppliers: McDonald’s approached all their current European
suppliers to see if they would be interested in Russia. None were interested.
McDonald’s decides to set up its own supply operation:
1. They set up a joint venture with a local partner, the Moscow City Administration,
to identify farmers and bakers.
2. Imported cattle from Holland and potatoes from America.
3. Hired agricultural specialists from Canada to improve farm management
practices to develop local sources.
4. Advanced Russian farmers money for seeds and equipment.
5. Invested in an operation to produce beef, bread products, potatoes, and dairy
products and purchased to specification ketchup, mustard and Big Mac sauce.
6. Set up a fleet of trucks for supply distribution.
7. Set up a financing program with all outside suppliers.
8. Brought in expatriate managers to train all Russian managers on McDonald’s
standards, quality and operating system.

9. 9Capitalizing on women talent
Finding talented people in emerging markets is always a problem.
But, there is a large population of energetic, ambitious, skilled
women in these markets that are very underused.
Foreign companies coming into these markets are finding ways to
recruit, train, retain and support them, so they can improve their life
style and contribute to their community and organization.
To be successful, there are family, transportation and commute
issues that must be addressed.
Universities are a good place to find this female talent.
Helping women build support networks has helped to retain key
women staff.
Offering coaching support has also been a good method of making
women employees become professional.

Hidden risks in
emerging markets
Balance profits with political influence
Most companies involved in international business protect their investments against currency
movement, price changes and other risks with legal contracts, insurance and trade financial
contracted agreements.
These approaches offer little against local government policy risks.
Government expropriation: One policy risk is outward and direct government seizing of foreign
assets. This has disappeared in most countries in recent years, as countries will lose their foreign
investment attractiveness.
Hidden risks: There are hidden risks (laws, procedures, operating and investment requirements)
that must be managed though. Here is how to reduce political risk.
1. Goodwill: When a country experiences problems, that is the best time for a foreign company to
show that it is there to help.
2. Impression creation: Prepare to convince the people and government of the country that wealth
can be created working together.
3. Finding concerns of all stakeholders: Identify all people influenced by the foreign investment.
What are their major worries? Conducting knowledge-transfer and training helps. Support to
develop libraries, schools, computer labs and housing for the poor have proven to be good
investments. Promote that your company is a great country asset regarding their concerns.
4. Study local attitudes: To learn local attitudes, direct consulting and informal chats with
employees, local business partners and supply chain affiliates are ideal. Also, consulting with
professional experts in various fields could be helpful. Other sophisticated risk scenario
computer software analysis could also be helpful.
