Emerging markets like Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and Turkey are experiencing rapid economic growth and modernization. They have characteristics like a young population, growing middle class, good education, lower labor costs, and natural resources. Multinational enterprises from these emerging markets are becoming global challengers that seek market share from developed countries. Examples discussed are Cemex from Mexico in the cement industry, Embraer from Brazil in regional aircraft manufacturing, and Tata Steel from India in the steel industry. They were able to initially leverage advantages like lower costs and government support to become international players.
