Description
Book SynopsisEmerging markets are big news. But after the financial crisis, what does the future really hold for them? And what does this future mean for global business? George Magnus, one of the world's most respected economic analysts, is your guide through the challenges and opportunities for emerging markets and those doing business in them.
Trade Review'...a useful corrective to some of the more breathless and overenthusiastic tracts on China's inevitable path to world domination.' (Management Today, Novemberm 2010). '... Magnus takes an epic sweep of the emerging economies- from China and India to Turkey and Eastern Europe.' (Wharf, November 2010). "...a considered view of the advances of China, India and other emerging economies ." (Financial Times, November 2010). ' Magnus's overarching argument is that China still lacks the organisations and institutions that accept ...the key to technological innovation.' (Reuters.com, November 2010). '...blow-by-blow account of the global scene today...his [Magnus's] crystal ball presents surprising conclusions.' (BMI Voyager, April 2011). '... worth reading'. (Survival, June 2011).
