Introduction:
Main emerging markets are China, India, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Russia, Brazil and South Korea while developed markets are of USA, Europe and Japan. Sometimes it is difficult to borrow innovation from developed countries, so the term “Reverse Innovation” was introduced. Reverse innovation is basically bottom up innovation, means it goes uphill from emerging markets of developing countries to developed markets of developed countries.it is adopted firstly in poor countries and then it makes its way to rich countries. Emerging markets are basically markets having features of developed markets but not fully developed, we say markets being developed is emerging market.(Ropert, 2016)
Emerging markets cover majority of world’s population and they are oriented toward consumers of more populated areas of the world like India, China & Middle Eastern countries United Arab Emirates, Russia and South American countries. Multinationals are getting benefits from these countries through there reverse innovations These reverse innovators are also experiencing a number of other positive developments in institutional reforms, infrastructure improvement, democracies, communication and information technologies and international business agreements (Khan, 2014).They also can introduce their reverse innovation in global & developed markets because multinational enterprisers have better idea of global markets and they can lift these innovations up. Sometimes reverse innovations are

Worldwide, approximately 1.3 billion people do not have access to affordable and efficient healthcare and out of those who have access, almost 170 million are forced to spend around 40 % of their income on medical treatment (Asante et al,2016).In low and middle income countries (LMICs), the major constraint to the access of healthcare is financial burden, where out-of-pocket payments (OPP) contribute to approximately 50 % of total health expenditure (WHO, 2010). As a result, in these countries there is high probability of many households being pushed into poverty due to high medical expenses (McIntyre,2006).The matter of concern in LMICS is that poor and disadvantaged groups of population do not have access to adequate quality of healthcare.For instance, according to WHO (2010) up to 20 % of women in rich population are more likely to have a birth attended by skilled health worker than a poor woman. Therefore, taking an action to address health inequities faced in these countries would save up to 700,000 women.

Looking ahead a few years, it is expected that the emerging markets economies will change the dynamics of the world economy, and of trade patterns and global finance, in profound ways.
On the other hand, countries known as the New World, have advanced in this industry breaking paradigms, using marketing strategies that allowed them to gain market share and to weaken its
Over the years the global economy has seen a rise in so called ‘emerging markets’. These are developing economies which have exceeded economic performance in respect to their developing counterparts. These economies are newly industrialized and are on their way to becoming developed economies but have not yet reached that status. The more common and likely heard developing economies consists of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) followed by Mexico, South Korea, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia. Developed nations (MEDC) include the westernised countries such as the U.S, the U.K and Japan. In 1999, Dr. Kvint published this definition: "Emerging market country is a society transitioning from a dictatorship to a free-market-oriented-economy, with increasing economic freedom, gradual integration with the Global Marketplace and with other members of the GEM (Global Emerging Market), an expanding middle class, improving standards of living, social stability and tolerance, as well as an increase in cooperation with multilateral institutions" This essay will locate the common characteristics that emerging markets share.
During the changing of world economy, it is increasingly common to hear the term ‘emerging markets’ and from news and report. In the mid-1980s, the term ‘emerging markets’ was created by the World Bank, and has significant influence on the global business world nowadays (Gwynne, Klak and Shaw 2003). To raise investor’s attention to those developing countries, there are numerous characteristics springing up which are given by researches and economists. However, some of those characteristics are contradictory and it is difficult to give a real definition. This essay discusses the main characteristics of ‘emerging markets’ as defined by the World Bank and economists.
In recent years,there has been a growing concern about the emerging markets,and it is kind of new economic markets in developing countries which likes mature markets but does not meet a criterion of it,and emerging markets is a relevant concept when it comes to the developed countries.While a variety of definitions of the term of emerging markets have been suggested,this essay will use the definition suggested by Arnold and Quelch(1998)who saw it as countries that satisfy two standards,first is a rapid pace of economics increasing,and second is government policies supporting economic liberalisation and the adoption of a free-market system.
Developing nations are filled with hope and aspirations of one day becoming a wealthy, dominating, and influential country. These nations can sometimes be unsafe, difficult to live in, and hard for workers to earn good compensation for their labor. On the other hand, living in a developed nation has many upsides. Developed nations are wealthy, which in turn have good infrastructure, labor and worker laws, and have less crime.
BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and CIVETS (Columbia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey, and South Africa) are all examples of some of the emerging markets in the world. BRICS are the world’s largest emerging markets and CIVETS are the second largest emerging markets in the world. Emerging markets are also known as; emerging economies or developing countries. An emerging market is a term used to describe a country that is still developing. It is not yet developed but it is neither underdeveloped, it is in between. These countries have some characteristics that would classify them as developed, but they also have characteristics that would classify them as underdeveloped (not to be confused with ‘undeveloped’).
Emerging Market Multinationals mainly emerged because domestic companies in developed countries saw a shift in growth pattern once they reached the peak of their economic curve. Growth slowed down and even became stagnant. This was primarily because the markets in the developed countries had already reached their optimum levels. On the other hand, this was the period of time when developing countries began to experience rapid economic growth. This prompted companies to look towards the potential and resources of these emerging markets as their source of salvation and develop
At the beginning of the 21st century, in the world there are more than 70,000 multinational corporations and 850,000 their branches. The parent companies are located mainly in the developed countries (50,200), the bigger number of branches are the share of developing countries (495,000). About a half of the world industrial production and over 73% of foreign trade are the share of multinational corporations. They control about 80% of patents and licenses for inventions, new technologies and know-how. Under control of multinational corporations, there are separate commodity markets: 90% of the world market of wheat, coffee, corn, forest products, tobacco, jute and iron ore, 85% — the market of copper and bauxites, 80% —
Copycat firms within emerging markets (such as Lenovo, Acer and Tata) can be considered learning firms. Copycats essentially learned how to conduct business from an already successful business model. Their ability to transform learning into a viable business has jettisoned them into positions of power within the world’s economies. Lenovo is currently the leader in PC sales worldwide. Although PC sales in the US continue to decline Lenovo’s ability to capture emerging markets such as China, allows them to continue their profitable growth (Gupta, 2012).
It is crucial to analyse the economy and specific markets due to the significant role it plays on individual businesses. Toyota is an organisation that aims produce excellent quality products and to be the “most respected and admired company.” They also encourage diversity as a part of their company culture and expect employees to abide by their code of ethics. In addition, they follow four core values; “customer first”, “respect for people”, “international focus” and “continuous improvement and innovation”.
