The Handbook of Business Practices and Growth in Emerging Markets consists of a collection of specially commissioned chapters that describe the current business environment, organizational culture, consumer behavior, financial investment climate, and examples of best prevailing practices in emerging markets. It covers all the major functional areas of business ? marketing, strategy, operations and finance ? in all continents. The focus of each chapter is on the identification of different business issues in different emerging markets (including Asia, Africa and South America) and on the implementation of a proposed set of recommendations, using both qualitative and quantitative techniques to assist in decision-making and in improving organizational efficiency and effectiveness. Readers will also appreciate the multidimensional view of financial and non-financial performance measurement of businesses.Specifically, the goal of this research-based handbook is to provide a comprehensive guide for business students and managers by discussing a range of issues from the diverse emerging markets and enabling them to develop a strategic mindset for a market-oriented culture. Given the changing business dynamics, government policies and demands in industries, this handbook is both timely and topical.

This handbook surveys the social aspects of consumer behavior, offering latest data and original research on current consumer needs as well as identifying emerging areas of research. This accessible volume (which can be read without advanced training in the field) starts with current concepts of risk tolerance, consumer socialization, and financial well-being, and moves on to salient data on specific settings and populations such as high school students and the older consumer.

With the growing recognition that customers are market-based assets, research on linking consumer mindset metrics to consumer behavior and market value has been gaining significance. Advocates of perceptual metrics argue that company actions move customers closer to buying decisions and that tracking and interpreting mindset metrics provide early evaluation signals of actual consumer purchase behavior and capital market valuation. This book deals with the impact of mindset metrics on consumer behavior and capital market valuation. The author develops a market share attraction model, which models the link between primary consumer mindset metrics and customer acquisition as well as customer repeat purchase behavior. As an empirical illustration, the proposed model is applied to the US automobile industry. Furthermore, using representative large-scale surveys of US and European consumers, the author investigates the association between perceptual brand measures and the capital markets' expectation of risk-adjusted future cash flows. The research findings indicate that perceptual metrics are important predictors of customer acquisition, customer retention and the market value of a firm. Hence, the results reported in this book help managers to quantify the return on intangible investments and offer a better understanding of the impact of mindset metrics on consumer buying behavior and market value.
