Emerging Markets: How They Will Change the World.
The rise of countries such as China, India, Brazil, Poland, South Korea, Mexico, Russia and South Africa is fraught with both opportunity and risk. These emerging economies will fuel global trade and investment, presenting companies and investors with growing markets and supplying an increasing amount of productive talent. They present enormous challenges to the U.S. in terms of everything from cheaper labor to human rights. In recent years, moreover, these emerging market economies have begun to spawn their own multinational corporations—a development that is drastically changing the global corporate map and weakening the dominance of U.S. corporations.
A former political and trade advisor and investment banker, Garten discusses the rising global competition and how companies should react and adjust, stimulating dialog about new trends with an eye toward politics. With real-world experience transcending any single discipline, he focuses on the intersection of the economy and business, policy and politics. He will customize his presentation to your organization and provide real-time, real-world examples of how to plan for, and in, the future.
