The rise of global champions is neither a universal nor a random phenomenon. It is not universal in the sense that not every aspiring or large Indian company will be able to grow into a significant global competitor. At the same time, it is not random either in that one can systematically lay out the factors that will distinguish a firm that becomes a global leader from one that tries to but fails. The authors present here a conceptual discussion of the factors that enable new players to emerge on the global stage and to challenge the established positions of incumbents.

Abstract


The rise of global champions is neither a universal nor a random phenomenon. It is not universal in the sense that not every aspiring or large Indian company will be able to grow into a significant global competitor. At the same time, it is not random either in that one can systematically lay out the factors that will distinguish a firm that becomes a global leader from one that tries to but fails. The authors present here a conceptual discussion of the factors that enable new players to emerge on the global stage and to challenge the established positions of incumbents.
