HBS Creating Emerging Markets

Co-directed by Professors Geoffrey Jones and Tarun Khanna, the HBS Creating Emerging Markets project provides a unique research and teaching resource on business leadership in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East over recent decades. At its core are more than 170 interviews by Harvard faculty with high impact leaders in business and social enterprise. These interviews, with men and women of diverse backgrounds, address pivotal moments of transition in their regions. They contain compelling insights on entrepreneurship, innovation, family business, and the globalization of firms and brands. Emphasizing ways that businesses can create value for their societies, the project provides a unique resource for research and teaching. From the beginning, it was envisaged as a public goods project, designed to be available to scholars and educators worldwide.
