EMERGING MARKETS
What is an emerging market?

–
–
Emerging markets are nations with social or business activity
in the process of rapid GROW and INDURSTRALIZATION.
Currently, there are 28 emerging markets in the world, with the
economies of CHINA and INDIA considered to be by far the two
largest.
The ASEAN–China Free Trade Area, launched on January 1,
2010, is the largest regional emerging market in the world.
An emerging market economy (EME) is defined as an
economy with low to middle per capita income.
• Such countries constitute approximately 80% of the global
population, and represent about 20% of the world's
economies. The term was coined in 1981 by the World Bank.
One key characteristic of the EME is an increase in both local
and foreign investment (portfolio and direct). A growth in
investment in a country often indicates that the country has
been able to build confidence in the local economy

moment of public embarrassment.

unpleasant news.

respect that.

experience as offensive include:
– belching and spitting on the street,
– smoking cigarettes indiscriminately,
– staring at foreigners,
– laughing at mishaps.
Ignore that!
CHINA – during meeting
•
•
•
•
Only leaders speak.
Foreigners introduce ideas, Chinese react.
Nodding is NOT agreeing.
Find a good interpreter and use him well:
– Pause frequently
– Avoid slang and colloquialism
– Make sure he understands technical terms
– But always talk to host, not interpreter
– Always restate what was agreed on
CHINA – saying NO
Chinese dont say NO
• When negotiating with Chinese:
– “inconvenient”
– “under consideration” or
– “being discussed”.
= in reality means NO
CHINA – giving gifts
• There are many reasons why Chinese give
gifts (ask for favor) and you can even refuse
a gift.
• When you are visiting Chinese, always give
gifts.
• Chinese may make several refusal gestures.
• Never wrap gifts in white.
• Give gifts with both hands.
• What would be a good gift? Something
traditional, and BIG.
