Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital Panel: "Business Opportunities in Emerging Markets"
These days, opportunities abound across the globe, no more so than in emerging markets, such as South America, Eastern Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia and Africa. Entrepreneurs are taking advantage of the same. Entrepreneurs investing in emerging markets buy inputs in the product, labour, and capital markets and sell their outputs in the products (raw materials and finished goods) or services market. When choosing strategies, therefore, the entrepreneurs try to figure out how the product, labour, and capital markets work—and don't work—in their target countries. This helps them understand the differences between home markets and those in developing countries. In addition, each country's social and political milieu—as well as the manner in which it has opened up to the outside world—shapes those markets, and entrepreneurs consider those factors as well while taking a decision.
