Retailing is changing extremely rapidly in the emerging economies, both as a driver of social and economic change, and a consequence of economic development and the rise of consumer societies. Changes that took many decades in Europe or North America are happening at a much greater speed in emerging markets, while regulations continue to be hotly contested in these markets, raising questions about appropriate business strategies for both globalising firms and local contenders. While much has been written about retail in emerging markets, the focus has been primarily on the nature of entry strategies for Western retail companies. This book seeks to capture the impact of both internal and external regulations on retail development and strategy in emerging markets. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the development of retailing in a wide range of emerging economies, and seeks to capture the interplay between both retail policy and retail strategy and the theoretical implications of this on retail development as a whole. This book will be of interest to academics, researchers and advanced students with an interest in retail development in emerging markets, international business/strategy and international marketing.

This report aims to highlight the current strengths of the institutional disaster risk reduction (DRR) system for agriculture in Uzbekistan as well as indicate existing gaps and capacity needs to further enhance it. A comprehensive assessment is conducted, which includes a general overview of the country’s agricultural sector and outlines the most frequent natural hazards that are impacting the sector. It is followed by an analysis of the existing legal, policy and institutional structure and discusses various components of the system, including the functioning of early warning systems, assessments of disaster risks, post-disaster needs assessments, including damages and losses assessments and the availability of agricultural insurance for farmers. It concludes by providing recommendations for capacity building interventions to strengthen the current system to reduce the adverse impacts of natural hazards, in particular, floods, landslides and droughts, and climate change on agriculture in Uzbekistan.

This book sets out to examine the question: Are there alternatives to US models of corporate governance for global players? Based on well-grounded concepts of distinct national and regional corporate cultures, created by different patterns of communication, negotiation and organisation, 20 corporate histories -- 10 from Asia and 10 from Europe -- are reviewed. Among these global players -- operating in different sectors, like aviation, telecommunications, electronics, household appliances, steel, automotives, food & beverages, confectionery, retailing, finance, advertising, and branding -- the persistence of national corporate cultures clearly emerges. Corporate globalisation will never become uniform. Companies that ignore the strength of national ways of doing and organising their business will do so at their peril. Most strikingly this happens during cross-cultural mergers, which almost inevitably will fail if done in a centralist fashion. Only those companies that are aware and respect the persistent strength of the different national traditions of production, trading and marketing will succeed.
