Your Worldview 'Hopelessly Outdated' if You Still Think in Terms of Advanced, Emerging Economies
If there had been any doubt as to how quickly the global economic landscape - and the market perceptions of it - can change, it would have been erased by events during August and September 2015. Concerns about the Chinese economy and fretting over the next move by the U.S. Federal Reserve triggered massive global market volatility in stocks, commodity prices, and exchange rates. And that turmoil underscored a critical imperative: leaders of companies operating around the world need to move beyond old views and conventional wisdom as they set global strategies.

Few Brazilian Retailers Prepared to Tap Growing Consumer Demand in Country's Interior, Study Says
Through 2020, consumers in the interior regions of Brazil are expected to account for more than 45 percent of growth in the retail sector, or $60bn in new purchases. Yet few of the country's retailers are prepared to capitalize on this growth opportunity, largely because they've focused their efforts almost exclusively on Brazil's highly populated coastal cities, according to a report by The Boston Consulting Group and its Center for Consumer and Customer Insight entitled Capturing Retail Growth in Brazil's Rising Interior.
