Nor do NEMs serve to as a Vehicle for Global Expansion
Attraction as local partners – does not travel
Local partners goal at time of agreement – vehicle to global expansion:
Creating Competitive Advantage via NEMs• Airtel outsourcing model:
o IT operations, Customer care – IBMo Running the network – Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens
• Cost saving:o No fixed costs; no excess capacity cost; no maintenance costs
• Call rates, cents/minute, 2009:o Airtel: 0.2; US operators: ~20 cents
• Revenues/user (per month):o Airtel: $6; Verizon: $51
• Operating margins: o Airtel: 40% = > US companieso The 'minutes factory' model - low cost/high volumes
• Sunil Mittal: ‘Flying on the Wings of Others’.
‘Flying on the Wings of Others’ – only in India?

The ‘Africa Effect?’
‘Bharti Airtel [2014] Fourth-Quarter Net Profit - Almost Halves, Missed Forecast. …[this is] in part due to high interest costs on the debt it took to buy ZAIN.’
NEMs as a Vehicle for Global Expansion: Developed/Emerging Market TNCs
Fast food◦ US companies - % franchised globally 85-100%◦ Developing country companies – Jollibee overseas expansion – mostly via
acquisitions/shared ownership (j.v.)
Hotels ◦ US companies - ditto◦ Developing country companies - hotels Indian Hotels (Taj Palaces), Obroi,
Shangri La◦ Taj global expansion - mostly acquisitions.
Where Should we go From Here?
Some Suggestive Thoughts Why NEMs by emerging market TNCs limited?
◦ Lesser specialization; excellence in generic skills [Apple/Samsung; Dell/Lenovo]◦ history of institutional void◦ Resistant to change, to economic development [Legend Holdings, est. 1984]
What will it take to encourage NEMs by emerging market TNCs?◦ Acquisition of new skills and talent◦ Change corporate culture!
◦ From efficiently implementing ideas designed elsewhere to innovation◦ Internal/external resistance
◦ Convince shareholders◦ [inevitable?] Loss of customers - do not want to do business with a competitor.
A Role for Governments?The Policy Agenda Home country branding Capital – investment with long time span IPR protection – encourage investment in innovation
More – when patterns better uderstood.
Nation [Place] Branding: Marketing Theory Meets Nation States
Change country image – deliberate government efforts◦ ‘Cool Brittania’ ◦ Taiwan ‘reputation management’ ◦ ‘Invest in remarkable Indonesia’
Challenge: brand already exists re-branding! change perceptions◦ Martin Spurling, CEO of HSBC in Turkey: ‘I had no idea how big Istanbul was until I
was appointed here. I was shocked. In terms of its location, history, culture, human potential and hospitality, Istanbul's a great candidate to be an international finance center. We have to explain it to the world a little better.’
Companies as ambassadors for nation – firms [+governments?]◦ India IT companies.

Distinctive Policy Concerns of NEMs
Go under the radar of policy makers◦ US Specific NEMs Laws: Franchise laws require registration and franchisors need to make certain
disclosures to prospective franchisees (balances the bargaining power)◦ Partly addresses this concern◦ US only country to have this legislation?
Leave no trail poor record of actual activity policymakers in the dark
Where this creates most pain:
Anti-trust authorities - can generate too much market power
Restrictions foreign ownership – may harm all the reasons that bring about these restrictions
Limited ability to affect mutual [equal?] gains of investment – investors/host countries.
The Trade-offs of NEMs for TNCs (Firms)ADVANTAGES
Speed◦ Access to partner assets
Core competency focus
Overcome liabilities of foreignness
Create political capital.
DISADVANTAGES
Vulnerability – weak legal protection in case of legal disputes of any kind policy implications
IPR appropriation – most IPR violations in EM – by outsources
Developing a (legal) competitor.
