The Explainer: Creating New Products for Emerging Markets 16 Jul 2019 --- Engineer a reverse innovation. When a company investigates a new product opportunity, it is important to define the problem, and the requirements that will dictate a viable solution, independently from the company’s existing lines of similar products or preconceived ideas of what a solution should entail. This is especially true when businesses are considering entering emerging markets or aim to realize opportunities to create high-performance, high-value products and services that appeal to consumers in poor and rich countries alike. --------------------------------------------------------------------- At Harvard Business Review, we believe in management.
