The rise of emerging economies is bringing significant changes in the marketing practice. The traditional notion of extending products and services designed for advanced economies is no longer as successful in emerging markets. This is primarily because of affordability and accessibility. Moreover, most consumption in emerging markets is unbranded products and services, and unorganized competition.
Course 3 of 4 in the The 4 A's of Marketing with Jagdish Sheth Specialization.

Skills You Will Gain

Understand how to manage sociopolitical influences
Develop your own distribution system
Understand how to overcome infrastructure limitations
Understand how to convert non-branding to branded consumption
Understand the importance of unorganized competition
