Technical efficiency<br />
Global innovation and change processes<br />
are increasingly being shaped by emerging<br />
markets. Some Western managers see<br />
these countries simply as exciting new<br />
markets. But as they develop, so will<br />
competition and the pressure to innovate.<br />
The global R&D map is changing<br />
dramatically. New centers of innovation<br />
are emerging. China and India, for<br />
example, already export more R&D services<br />
to the EU than they import from it. The<br />
new competitors are particularly strong<br />
in a new category of products developed<br />
specifically for the lower and middle<br />
market segments and priced accordingly.<br />
This segment, with its simple innovations,<br />
is one of the fastest growing in many<br />
markets and industries. In the latest<br />
publication in our GLOBAL TOPICS<br />
series, we analyze this process and show<br />
how firms can best profit from the<br />
transformation. http://rbsc.eu/PPXR7S<br />
| Mastering product<br />
complexity |<br />
Product complexity has increased dramatically. Almost<br />
all industries have to respond to consumers' wishes for<br />
differentiation. The number of different products has more than<br />
doubled in the last 15 years, while product lifecycles have shrunk<br />
by around 25%. Managing complexity has become a key<br />
success factor as fi rms are forced to cut their production and<br />
distribution costs. Our study presents four different approaches<br />
and shows the savings that can be achieved.<br />
