What is Strategy Execution in Emerging Economies?
Strategy Execution in Emerging Economies examines organizational challenges and success factors in implementing business strategies amid volatility in developing markets during COVID-19 disruptions.
This subtopic analyzes cultural, institutional, and resource influences on strategy implementation in emerging regions like Latin America and Peru. Studies highlight digitalization, leadership, and knowledge management as key execution levers post-COVID. Over 10 papers from 2018-2024 address these dynamics, with citation leaders including Espinosa Zárate et al. (2023, 18 citations) and Maldonado Valero (2018, 18 citations).
Why It Matters
Firms in emerging economies use these insights to adapt strategies amid COVID-19 instability, enabling sustainable growth in underrepresented markets. Espinosa Zárate et al. (2023) show digitalization aids vulnerable Latin American populations, while Pérez Arrau (2022) reveals knowledge management gaps in Chile's public-private sectors. Rivera and Nogaró (2020) demonstrate social marketing for digital transformation supports at-risk women, informing policy for economic recovery.
Key Research Challenges
Institutional Volatility
Emerging markets face unstable regulations and infrastructure, complicating strategy rollout during crises like COVID-19. Choccata Cruz et al. (2024) analyze rural Peruvian policies, noting intercultural gaps hinder execution. This leads to inconsistent outcomes across regions.
Resource Constraints
Limited access to technology and skills hampers execution in remote or vulnerable areas. Vargas-Cuentas et al. (2023) evaluate student research programs in Peru, highlighting capacity-building needs. Gutiérrez Vargas et al. (2023) find poor waste management perceptions reflect broader logistical deficits.
Leadership Adaptation
Traditional leadership fails to address post-COVID cultural shifts in emerging contexts. Maldonado Valero (2018) assesses visionary leadership in Ecuadorian education, while Martínez and Egoavil Vera (2024) promote experiential learning for transformational styles in Peruvian highlands. Scaling these remains difficult.
