In the past 15 years, emerging markets (EM) have come to represent the largest share of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and made gains in economic development and political influence; in turn, their companies have taken on a new level of importance in driving innovation, local development and global competition. The aim of this book is to cover the diverse types of innovation in emerging markets. We adopt a broad definition that includes not only technology and Research & Development (R&D) but also business model innovation, knowledge transfers (reverse innovation), and new organizational and production processes (frugal innovation).
