While e-marketing has emerged as an aid in allowing businesses to reach a broader audience, evolutions in computer science and technology have made its comprehension a bit more complex. E-Marketing in Developed and Developing Countries: Emerging Practices aims to create a deeper understanding of the policies and practices that are involved in a successful e-marketing environment. This publication highlights the strategies and applications currently being used in both developed and developing countries; proving to be beneficial for entrepreneurs, policy makers, researchers, and students wishing to expand their comprehensive knowledge in this field.

Markets are increasingly seen as vehicles to solve problems in developing countries. For example, improvements in market performance make potentially important contributions to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Access of smallholders to well-functioning markets is increasingly expected to contribute to poverty alleviation and improvement of both food security and environmental sustainability. This book presents the views of leading experts on where we stand and where we are heading in the field of markets, marketing and developing countries. Twenty essays in this book describe the role of marketing in achieving development goals, the track record of past market policies, the current functioning of value chains, the roles that market institutions play to facilitate market access for smallholders, as well as the potential to add value to farm produce through certification schemes, new technologies or innovation systems. The book is published in honour of the retirement of Aad van Tilburg, one of the pioneers in the field of marketing in developing countries. Early on in his career Van Tilburg recognised that improvements in the functioning of markets and marketing can be key to economic development with special reference to the livelihood of small producers and other market actors in developing countries.

This volume offers an excellent understanding of international marketing theory and practice within a constantly-changing and increasingly-complex global environment, with greater emphasis on developing countries. Designed for academics, researchers, students, practitioners, and policy-makers in the fields of international marketing, international business, and international trade, the book provides in-depth knowledge and understanding of contemporary theories and their applications in international marketing functions and practices. It exposes the readers to the global environmental forces that impact on international marketing involvement and the basic marketing strategies suitable for international marketing. As such, it will enable the reader to develop skills for effective planning, organization, execution, and control of international marketing operations. While a great deal of effort has been spent on meaningfully integrating the theoretical foundations and actual business practices, various concepts are supported by compelling exhibits, industry-specific examples, and illustrations from developing countries. The questions at the end of each chapter are designed to test the readers’ understanding and application of what they have learned in actual situations.

Markets in Third World countries are growing rapidly and in the next several decades will offer tremendous business opportunities. Firms aspiring to be a part of this growth must establish their presence in these markets today or lose the opportunity forever. Market Evolution in Developing Countries illustrates how these markets are likely to evolve as mass markets along the lines of advanced nations and examines conditions that affect this evolution. The author develops a model of market evolution based on a general overview of all evolving markets which is then applied and thoroughly discussed with reference to India, a burgeoning market of some 200 million people. Through a conceptual framework of market evolution, this groundbreaking book describes how markets at various stages of development offer different opportunities and thus require different strategies for success. Author Jain outlines strategic moves that American businesses may make to capitalize on such opportunities. He also covers information on policy initiatives developing countries themselves can take to help in the smooth evolution of their markets and specific steps leaders of these countries may take to enable greater growth in their markets. While Market Evolution in Developing Countries uses India as a case study, the strategies for doing business successfully there are equally relevant and easily adaptable for use in other developing countries. Some of the many topics addressed include India’s government and politics, corporate environment, international competitiveness, and changing market behavior, as well as U.S. direct investment in India, Indo-U.S. business relations, and political-legal differences between the U.S. and India. This informative guide also contains a brief historical overview of India, a profile of a middle-class Indian family, and a handy section of cultural tips and other advice for business persons traveling to India to help them cope with business negotiations there. In a readable style, this book provides comprehensive information for all business professionals interested in the vast opportunities available in many Third World countries. Market Evolution in Developing Countries is ideal for international business executives and consultants who wish to review opportunities in these countries and learn how to take advantage of them effectively. It is a basic resource on economic opportunities in developing countries.
