Emerging Global Challengers
Where will the next Google or Microsoft come from? Chances are that these new global multinationals will hail from India or China. A new Boston Consulting Group study seeks to identify some of these hard-charging emerging companies. Overall, the Boston Consulting Group 100 Global Challengers (BCG 100) hail from fourteen countries. China (41 firms), followed by India (20 firms), host the larger numbers of BCG 100 firms. These firms come from a diverse mix of sectors; no one industry dominates. While the firms operate in different markets, they are all pursuing an aggressive globalization strategy by actively competing in foreign markets. Most of these companies have realized that they cannot continue to grow through their home markets alone. Continued prosperity requires that they also succeed in the global marketplace.
