    Each year we are buying more planes from Brazil’s Embraer, refrigerators from China’s Haier appliance maker, smart cell phones from Taiwan’s HTC, and gas from Russia’s Gazprom. How have these relative unknowns come so far in the world markets so fast? What are they doing right that their Western competitors are doing wrong, and how can Western companies face the intensifying challenges and survive?

    With his in depth, inside knowledge of these emerging powerhouses, based on thirty years of working, traveling and investing in emerging markets and extraordinary access to the leading companies, van Agtmael trains his experienced analyst’s eye on twenty five of the top emerging giants, taking readers into the executive suites and labs where they are outmaneuvering their Western rivals. Profiling these major players, such as Korean’s Samsung Electronics, China’s computer maker Lenovo, Brazil’s iron ore giant CVRD, and India’s Infosys, he divulges their strategies for growth, and also analyses how their rise to dominance will change our lives.
