WHAT
"Conducting Strategy Research on/in Emerging Markets" PDW
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this PDW is to facilitate a more sophisticated "operational" grasp of key issues surrounding strategic management research on/in Emerging markets (EMs). It is widely believed that these markets possess idiosyncrasies that hinder traditional (i.e., Western-style) academic research, thus obstructing a more systematic study of, what undoubtedly is, a momentous economic phenomenon. Thus, there is a need for strategy researchers to better familiarize themselves with various tensions that must be resolved, preferably before embarking upon a study of EMs. Such awareness would help researchers evaluate tradeoffs as well as make informed choices about the relevance of research questions asked and the feasibility of approaches required to satisfactorily address these questions. The proposed PDW attempts to be a forum to pursue these objectives.
