Emerging Market Ecosystem  


The emerging market is an ecosystem of the new, the underdeveloped, the under-marketed, and the under-commercialized. This is where experimental markets and emerging innovations give birth to the market-systems which will disrupt and replace current sustained market systems. The focus of this ecosystem is the location and activation of new market capacity.


Emerging Market Players:

  • Emerging entrepreneurs, businesses, products, markets, technologies, value networks (Creators/Innovators)
  • Consumers of experimental and emerging product (Activators/Early Adopters)

Emerging Market Principles:

  1. Locate dormant market potential
  2. Create and validate new market capacity
  3. Find sustaining basis and dimensions of competition, and market operating principles to commercialize new market capacity.

Emerging Market-System Attributes:

  • Small, fast, flexible, responsive
  • Connected to other emergent systems and value networks
  • Unconnected, or loosely connected to Sustained Market and Governing Market Ecosystems
