what is the emerging world
The emerging world consists of countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East that have seen steady economic growth, but have the potential of holistic transformation through innovating, cultivating and creating new stewardship businesses.
The emerging world goes beyond the business context of economics in developing countries. It is the center of the world's population, the center of poverty and the center of world religions.
