Multinationals have a tendency to default to their usual practices, like building large, future-proofed plants. It's time for them to rethink their business model in emerging markets.
In order to emerge stronger, companies must ensure that their response to COVID-19 is not just immediate, but also transformational.
To survive the crisis, brands need to shore up their supply chain, adjust to shifting sales channels, and reset their promotional calendars.
Digital is still anyone’s game. Organizations that think big, take a holistic view, and move nimbly will find competitive advantage.
Market conditions are favorable for M&A. Expect a lot of deals, and expect most to destroy value—until companies learn how to turn the tide and create value.
BCG offers a single methodology with which to manage the entire customer journey, from prepurchase to consumption, rooted in a deep understanding of consumer demand.
Despite the declining advantages of scale, global giants can compete against their smaller, nimbler rivals. But they need a new playbook.
Contrary to popular belief, consumers are not enigmatic. Asking the right questions can help you pinpoint the real drivers of consumer choice.
For the third consecutive year, BCG and IRI ranked more than 400 public and private manufacturers of consumer packaged goods on the basis of their growth performance.
