Position 1: How are emerging market companies forging ahead of the competition? Emerging markets have low worldwide costs, appealing products, modern facilities, and ambitious leaders going for them.

Position 2: Emerging markets are generating a wave of disruptive product and process innovations that are helping established companies and a new generation of entrepreneurs to achieve new price-performance levels for a range of globally traded goods and services.

Position 3: Western companies should not have to adapt old business models and build distinctive capabilities in the low-income segments of emerging economies. There is no such thing as the Bottom of the Pyramid.

Position 4: "Disruptive innovation" is only applicable to describe trends in the rapidly changing worlds of telecoms and pharmaceuticals. Digital and photocopying technologies are examples of disruptive innovations in emerging economies.
