The crux of this book is to advance a structural framework for thinking about the nature and extent of differences
between emerging markets and mature markets on the one hand, and among emerging markets on the other. That is,
the so-called BRIC economies—Brazil, Russia, India, and China—differ from the United States, the United
Kingdom, and Japan on the one hand, but they also differ from each other quite extensively. We specify how. In
particular, we articulate a framework to calibrate the differences in soft and hard institutional infrastructure—we
refer to the absence in emerging markets of things we take for granted in our backyard in Boston as institutional
voids—that permeate emerging markets, and then offer solutions for dealing with these.
Tarun Khanna is the Jorge Paulo Lemann Professor at Harvard Business School and the author of Billions
of Entrepreneurs: How China and India Are Reshaping Their Future and Yours (Harvard Business School
Press, 2008).
Krishna G. Palepu is the Ross Graham Walker Professor of Business Administration and Senior Associate
Dean for International Development at Harvard Business School.
“The scope of this book’s research is broad and deep, the authors’ thinking is deliberate and well tested, and the result is
a compelling must-read for any leader who is seeking sustainable growth in dynamic emerging markets.”
—Muhtar Kent, Chairman and CEO, The Coca-Cola Company
“Learning to compete in emerging markets is one of the greatest challenges facing global businesses today. In this book,
Tarun Khanna and Krishna Palepu show leaders how to navigate the different operating conditions in these markets and
how to take advantage of the tremendous growth opportunities they offer in the twenty-first century.”
—Dominic Barton, Worldwide Managing Director, McKinsey & Company
“Emerging markets have piqued the interest of many business scholars. Much has been written about them, but this book
is unique in that it proposes an actionable framework for assessing the challenges and opportunities associated with the
institutional voids in such markets.”
—N. R. Narayana Murthy, founder and Chairman, Infosys
“Where others have failed, Khanna and Palepu have succeeded in providing an elegant framework for executives to iden-
tify and benefit from the unique attributes and vast opportunities of the ‘emerging markets’—their expert ability to pro-
vide structure to so many unstructured issues makes this a compelling read for any executive seeking to operate on a
global basis and capitalize upon the almost limitless potential in the emerging markets in the twenty-first century.”
—Steven Denning, Chairman, General Atlantic
“Treating emerging markets as nothing but underdeveloped economies ignores the innovation and opportunities within
these markets. This book will enhance the understanding of emerging markets and their potential.”
—Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, former Deputy President, South Africa
“Khanna and Palepu lucidly explain the roles that entrepreneurs and the government can play in helping countries
‘emerge’ and contribute to regional and world well-being. Filled with real-life examples with which the authors have per-
sonal experience, this is a valuable read for leaders of all persuasions and geographies.”
—Süleyman Demirel, former President of Turkey
“In this important book, Khanna and Palepu suggest a fundamentally new approach to strategy in emerging markets; they
first define the structure of these markets and then break new ground by suggesting ways to exploit the institutional voids
in that structure. This is a powerful approach for practitioners.”
—Victor Fung, Chairman, Li & Fung
“Khanna and Palepu’s groundbreaking work on what differentiates emerging markets gives businesses a new way to look
at opportunities and risks. Their book is a must-read for executives and board directors whose enterprises operate in
Latin America and other dynamic regions, as well as the policymakers working with these leaders.”
—Luis Alberto Moreno, President, Inter-American Development Bank
“Khanna and Palepu offer toolkits to explain how entrepreneurs in emerging markets can not only catch up with the
developed world, but also learn from each other—from Chile to China, India to Indonesia—and contribute to a new
world order.”
—Andrónico Luksic Craig, Director and Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, Banco de Chile, and Vice-
Chairman, Quinenco
“I am often asked about doing business in emerging markets such as China and Vietnam. My recommendation for practi-
tioners would be to read this book—so that they can easily understand the basic structural issues involved in formulating
strategies for these markets.”
—Margie Yang, Chairman and CEO, The Esquel Group
