From China to India to Nigeria, e-commerce is entering a golden era in countries that were long left out of the e-commerce gold rush experienced in the West. If the story of the first twenty years of e-commerce's growth was set in developed markets, the story of the next twenty years will be set in emerging ones. The rise of e-commerce in emerging markets is being driven by three major trends: widespread internet adoption, a rising middle class, and, most importantly, innovative new business models that serve the needs of local customers better than the models used by western e-commerce giants. Six Billion Shoppers takes readers on an exciting and colorful journey around the world to visit the next e-commerce mega markets and explore how a new e-commerce boom is opening opportunities for entrepreneurs and global brands alike. Traveling through Nigeria, China, India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, Porter Erisman addresses e-commerce across these new markets and what it means for western brands. He argues that e-commerce in developing countries is revolutionary and will play a much larger role in emerging markets than in the West. With e-commerce in emerging markets entering a rapid period of expansion, Six Billion Shoppers explains how to seize the massive opportunity created by emerging market consumers and provides practical advice on how to ride this new business trend.

A digital anthropologist examines the online lives of millions of people in China, India, Brazil, and across the Middle East—home to most of the world’s internet users—and discovers that what they are doing is not what we imagine. New-media pundits obsess over online privacy and security, cyberbullying, and revenge porn, but do these things really matter in most of the world? The Next Billion Users reveals that many assumptions about internet use in developing countries are wrong. After immersing herself in factory towns, slums, townships, and favelas, Payal Arora assesses real patterns of internet usage in India, China, South Africa, Brazil, and the Middle East. She finds Himalayan teens growing closer by sharing a single computer with common passwords and profiles. In China’s gaming factories, the line between work and leisure disappears. In Riyadh, a group of young women organizes a YouTube fashion show. Why do citizens of states with strict surveillance policies appear to care so little about their digital privacy? Why do Brazilians eschew geo-tagging on social media? What drives young Indians to friend “foreign” strangers on Facebook and give “missed calls” to people? The Next Billion Users answers these questions and many more. Through extensive fieldwork, Arora demonstrates that the global poor are far from virtuous utilitarians who mainly go online to study, find jobs, and obtain health information. She reveals habits of use bound to intrigue everyone from casual internet users to developers of global digital platforms to organizations seeking to reach the next billion internet users.

Following the success of their best-selling One Hour China Book, Peking University Professors Jonathan Woetzel and Jeffrey Towson are back to explain the rise of Chinese consumers.In this one hour "speed read", the authors argue:1) China is now the world's most complicated consumer market. The complexity of Chinese consumers is increasing exponentially with wealth.2) The importance of China's rising consumers is matched only by the brutality of the fight for them. The competition is brutal and there are far more corpses than winners. 3) The State still ultimately creates most of the winners.The authors explain all this through five short stories. They detail the successes and failures of Carlsberg, KFC, Christie's, the NBA and others in hyper-competition consumer China. Ultimately, this book is about how Chinese consumers are finally becoming wealthy and how Western companies are finally learning to live with communism. A few take-aways from the book:- Young Chinese are the big-spending, emotional Chinese consumers the entire world has been waiting for.- State-Owned Enterprises can compete and win in purely commercial industries.- Food scandals are good in the long-term for KFC and McDonalds.- Elderly Chinese are not the attractive demographic everyone thinks they are.- The NBA China doesn't need another Yao Ming. - You can win big if you get to Chinese consumers AND the government. State capitalism can be exceptionally profitable.- Western China, the country's big backyard, is the last great battleground for multinationals. And Carlsberg beer is the first clear winner.- Almost any Chinese consumer can act affluent some of the time. Something that is particularly confusing for Christie's and Sotheby's.- One consumer demographic everyone should care about is China's working moms.
