Creating lasting value from the market in which your company is embedded can be quite the challenge as the environment and the business setup in developing countries is different from your home market. Investing in the improvement of the societal conditions and engaging and collaborating with local institutional actors can be a strategic approach when operating in foreign developing country markets. Significant challenges include poverty in society, poor infrastructure, inefficient national health systems, low levels of education, high levels of corruption and environmental stress.
