ARTICLES

Articles from Harvard Business Review and other renowned journals provide up-to-the-minute ideas from the best business thinkers.

New Articles

Adequacy Versus Equivalency: Financial Data Protection and the U.S.-EU DivideThis article maintains that transatlantic data sharing will ultimately have to accommodate privacy cultures in both the United States and the European Union. Firms must be prepared to cope with demands on their data by establishing government relations offices, standardizing information systems, enhancing education for compliance officers, and improving business school curricula. Business Horizons #BH575

Diaspora MarketingFew corporations from emerging markets have succeeded in establishing brands in the West. But some emerging giants, such as the Indian bank ICICI and the maker of the Mexican beer Tecate, have adopted a savvy, inexpensive approach to establishing themselves abroad: targeting the emigrants who have left their homelands. Harvard Business Review #R1310H

Going Abroad in Search of Higher Productivity at HomeResearch on cross-border acquisitions shows that, contrary to conventional wisdom, they don’t hamper domestic operations—they add to their efficiency and productivity. By acquiring foreign companies, firms gain a great deal of knowledge through exposure to new market ecosystems, R&D capabilities, functional skills, organizational processes, and managerial practices. Harvard Business Review #F1406B

How Emerging Giants Can Take on the WorldCompanies in developing countries are often so focused on chasing growth that they fail to invest in improving their innovation, operations, and brand management. These firms are then caught off guard when growth slows or competition intensifies. Using examples like BYD, Chery, Great Wall, and Haier, this article explores this phenomenon and explains how emerging-market companies can develop enterprise capabilities from the very beginning. Harvard Business Review #R1312J

Lessons Learned from Brazilian Multinationals’ Internationalization StrategiesThis article offers lessons for companies seeking foreign expansion. Focusing on the international trajectories of 4 Brazilian multinationals, this study analyzes their strategies and managerial processes during and after the recent economic crisis. Business Horizons #BH543

Navigating the Cultural MinefieldThis article introduces a tool called the Culture Map, which comprises 8 scales representing the management behaviors where cultural gaps are most common. By comparing the position of one nationality relative to another on each scale, managers can decode how culture influences day-to-day collaboration. Harvard Business Review #R1405K

The New, Improved “Keiretsu”Toyota provides a compelling example of how Japanese “keiretsu,” which lost luster during the cost-cutting of the 1990s, is being revived and reinvented. This article examines the evolution of keiretsu at Toyota and explores the lessons for companies seeking to improve their supplier relationships for lasting gain. Harvard Business Review #R1309J

The New Rules of GlobalizationTo factor globalization’s new risks into strategy, executives must consider various approaches: striking alliances with local players, looking for new ways to add value abroad, entering multiple sectors—or not going global at all. Harvard Business Review #R1401J

Opportunity Knocks: Designing for the Emerging Chinese Middle ClassThe middle class in China will rise from just over 10 percent of the population in 2009 to over 70 percent by 2030. In his work at IDEO, the author has been studying the changing identity of this consumer group. He argues that businesses that continually develop their understanding of this group will be ready to adapt to the evolving needs of one of the largest new markets in history. Rotman School of Management #ROT233

Reading Global Clients’ SignalsMany global executives rely on customer satisfaction surveys such as the Net Promoter Score to gauge the health of their client relationships. But such methods are limited in their ability to provide frequent, detailed, and cost-effective evaluations. This article proposes a different assessment method, one based on the analysis of email communication patterns between customers and vendors in geographically distributed environments. MIT Sloan Management Review #SMR478

Right Up the Middle: How Israeli Firms Go GlobalSmall and midsize companies that want to expand abroad often face a daunting task: finding the sweet spot between multinationals and the smaller players in the foreign markets. The stories of Israeli companies Netafim, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, and Amdocs illustrate tactics for successfully seizing the middle ground. Harvard Business Review #R1405J

Seven Reasons Why Africa’s Time Is NowAfrica’s economy is growing faster than the economies of all other continents, with about a third of its countries seeing annual GDP growth of more than 6%. These surprising facts help explain what is making this diverse and complex continent boom. Harvard Business Review #F1310Z

Shattering the Myths About U.S. Trade PolicyMany Americans blame free trade for their nation’s economic slide, but the authors’ research shows that free trade has been assigned a villainous role that far exceeds its real impact. This article explains some of the myths surrounding this issue, and advocates for a more active U.S. trade policy that emphasizes exports, bilateral cooperation, and plurilateral agreements with WTO members. Harvard Business Review #R1203Q

Why Conglomerates Thrive (Outside the U.S.)Conglomerates are flourishing in emerging markets. The authors, who studied Indian business groups for 5 years, believe that the key to these organizations’ success is their structure. Unlike corporate divisions, a group’s affiliate companies are legally independent, which allows them to raise capital, set strategies, and create incentives more effectively. Harvard Business Review #R1312H

Popular Articles

Cracking the Next Growth Market: Africa Africa is the third fastest-growing economic region in the world, but political instability and poverty have made it an unattractive market to develop. Citing a McKinsey study, the authors argue that despite the challenges, companies can no longer afford to ignore Africa. Harvard Business Review #R1105J

Global Business Speaks English Using the Japanese firm Rakuten as an example, this article outlines guidelines for proper English language implementation. Also see the related case “Language and Globalization: ‘Englishnization’ at Rakuten” (#412002). Harvard Business Review #R1205H

Is the Bottom of the Pyramid Really for You?Despite significant markets and hype, few multinational firms have built sizable businesses serving consumers or producers that survive on just a few dollars a day. The reasons, the authors suggest, are the difficulties of getting prices low enough to attract consumers and managing distributed low-income producers. Harvard Business Review #R1103J

KFC’s Radical Approach to ChinaThis article examines why Kentucky Fried Chicken in China has been able to succeed in a market that is notoriously challenging for Western fast-food chains. This article offers guidance on how much of an existing business model to keep when entering emerging markets. Harvard Business Review #R1111K

Lost in Translation The authors of this article contend that any business with global aspirations must take cultural differences seriously, especially those that deal with failure. Drawing on an ongoing 30-year global survey, they describe how some companies reconcile cultural differences to create a powerful platform for innovation. Harvard Business Review #W1104A

Making It OverseasMany talented executives fail in overseas assignments. What success abroad truly hinges on is something called a global mind-set—a mind-set that allows executives to cope with unfamiliar cultures and influence stakeholders who are unlike them. Harvard Business Review #R1004L

Managing Multicultural TeamsTo overcome problems stemming from cultural differences, the most successful teams and managers use 1 of 4 methods of indirect intervention: adaption, structural intervention, managerial intervention, or exit. Harvard Business Review #R0611D

Play It Safe at Home, or Take Risk Abroad? (HBR Case Study and Commentary)A major U.S. rent-to-own company continues to grow in the recession. The CEO of the company must decide whether to tap into underserved foreign markets despite a mixed international track record or to explore untapped potential in the U.S. market.
