TRANSCRIPT
An Anthropologist’s Eye for the Tech Guy:
Emerging Market Opportunities in a Post-BRIC World
Dawn Nafus
Dividing it between mature and emerging markets is no longer helpful
Problem
The world changes
Tradition radars for where to look for partners and markets lead to missed opportunities
Emerging?
Really?

We need an paradigm shift in how we think about technology adoption

Technology Metabolism Index (TMI)
An ethnographic and statistical model that tells us which countries have out performed the average rate of global technology diffusion, given each country’s economic productivity.
Where is adoption higher than we could expect based on income levels alone?
What contributes to it?

TMI for Mobile Phones, High Income Countries
TMI for Mobile Phones, 28 Largest Middle/Low Income Countries
• Nation-state as a meaningful unit– Strong sense of ‘we’ as the agent of change– External competition important
(e.g., Russia for Estonia; Japan for S Korea)
• Normative ethos– New products perceived as ‘normal’ before they
become ubiquitous
• Social and Physical Network density– Both nonlinearly harder to build in larger places
• Active and agile states – Not necessarily democratic or transparent– Technology as part of “clean slate” making after
radical social change
Ubiquity with obvious “need” in Estonia. Here WiFi access is provided in a beach parking lot.
High scoring countries (both rich and poor) share cultural factors that make them rapid tech adopters:
• TMI helps us identify non-traditional markets by what they have, not by what they lack• High scorers show how culture shapes ecosystems and public policy environments,
not just individual buying decisions
From “Basic Needs” to Social Systems

TMI identifies diversity in adoption paths TECHNOLOGY METABOLISM INDEX E-READINESS (IBM/World Bank)
Differentiated adoption paths: some factors impact different technology adoption differently
‘Basket of goods’ approach: Measures all countries against a single end state of development
Correlated FDI and heavy international trade with low relative rates of adoption
Assumes FDI, heavy international trade is an enabler
Shows social, cultural and infrastructural factors that enable adoption at a national level
Shows readiness for placing factories and other high-infrastructure activities
Identifies capacity to build infrastructure, even in adverse economic conditions
Measures current state of infrastructure
Enables examination of longer term cultural values and institutional systems that make it possible to adopt rapidly
Rankings tied to economic fluctuations
