This panel of prominent scholars will shed light on how political risk, lack of developed infrastructure, weak institutions, and frequently changing environments shape collaborative strategies in emerging economies. The scholars will also provide their views on how firms can leverage idiosyncrasies in local environments to create advantages in their collaborative arrangements.
