Business strategies and practices in developing economies

Abstract:

Strategic business principles apply worldwide; however, practices will vary and often be influenced by the level of economic development found in a specific location. Interpersonal business practices will vary across locations and need to be aligned with the specific cultural environment in which a firm operates. Choice of operational business practices is often influenced by the technological environment and need for efficiencies, and thus is more likely to be able to be used across geographical and industrial boundaries with relatively little need for adaptation.
