[edit] Emerging market business
This article is difficult-to-judge case because it may seem OnTopic. It seems relevant or useful at first glance, but I think the intent behind it is basically to pitch for consultancy services. Had the author included the content in Emerging markets, I would have more faith in the sources cited, such as the consultant's own research. I propose delete on the grounds that this is thinly disguised spam, namely source soliciting. --Gavin Collins 09:35, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, quite strongly. Reads like an essay; uncertain what it's trying to be about. The prose seems deliberately vague and gushy. Parts of it would read like a how-to manual but for the fact that the counsel given is so vague as to be wholly uninformative. (Companies that hope to improve or maintain their global market position must have a strong presence in developing economies. However, the products, services and skills used to achieve market leadership in mature markets do not automatically transfer to emerging market economies. When creating an expansion strategy, companies must consider many important differences between mature and emerging markets.) Prose this full of empty abstractions gives me a headache. Agree with the nominator that this bears all the hallmarks of consultancy crypto-spam. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:45, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- Transwiki to Wikiversity, per the tag on the article. This is clearly an essay and thus beyond the scope of Wikipedia, but seems to go deeper than pure original thought, so it may work well as a learning material. - Zeibura S. Kathau (Info | Talk) 16:24, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete, my apologies to Vital Wave Consulting, but this really looks like a spam fork of emerging markets, which the author previously tried to spam. --Abu-Fool Danyal ibn Amir al-Makhiri 19:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
