From the CEO OF EMIS



It is sometimes overlooked that it is not only companies in developed markets that are affected by changing fortunes in emerging markets. Developing market companies also have to look elsewhere when domestic growth slows or stalls.

A case in point is Lenovo, the Chinese electronics company. As the Chinese economy has slowed and demand in the smartphone market in particular has suffered, Lenovo is looking at other emerging markets to fill the gap. Interviewed recently at the World Economic Forum, Lenovo’s CEO pointed at India, Middle East and Africa as engines of growth for his business and expressed continued optimism that such markets offer real opportunities.

Here are some articles recently published on EMIS that look at where companies in emerging markets are looking for growth.


Best wishes,
Guy Dunn
Chief Executive Officer
