This study explores the potential for expanding direct marketing in emerging markets by analyzing the economic capacity, infrastructure, and propensity to give in various countries. The research focuses on identifying new or neglected markets for fundraising programs and determining if individuals ready to support private philanthropy share common values.

DM in Emerging Markets: Why not? • Brazil, China, Indonesia, South Korea and Russia will account for more than half of all global growth by 2025 (Sommerville, 2011). • New wealth and new middle class • Fund raising: Some countries are in a position to give back • Few companies are stupid, but many behaved stupidly in China (The Economist, 1999) • Lack of marketing infrastructure • Macroeconomic data but not no product/market info. • Imperialist approach
Emerging Market Research:Economics • Macro-economic Indicators • Overall Market Opportunity Index (Cavusgil, 1997) • Comparing GDPs at PPP (Arnold & Quelch (1998) • Q = (P+NP) X (DevGDP – AdjGDP)
Emerging Market Research:Sociology/Culture • CAGE (Ghemawat & Mallick, 2003): Cultural, Administrative, Geographic, Economic distances • Value Survey Module (Hofstede, 2001): Cultural distances: Power, uncertainty avoidance, individualism/collectivism, masculinity/feminity, time orientation • GLOBE (House et al., 2004): Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness • WVS (Inglehart & Welzel, 2005)
Emerging Market Research:Issues with Cultural Values • Measuring values or preferences? (Maseland & van Hoorn, 2009) • Some abstract constructs difficult to measure • Values should correlate with practices: negative correlations between VSM and GLOBE • WVS: 84 countries (80% of population), 250 variables, constantly updated, data at individual level, N = 270,000
Emerging Market Research:Marketing • Product-market subset • Business Model Success factors (Arnold, 2003) Example: Based on Mary Kay business model, Chinese women were far more motivated than Japanese to become « beauty consultants » and pocket extra income.
DM and Fundraising • “Generosity” index (e.g. CAF) • ODA & global private philanthropy (Hudson Institute) • Cultural clusters (Johns Hopkins’ NPS, 2004) • European Vs Anglo-Saxon countries
DM and Fundraising:Donor Profiles • Compassionate conservative philanthropy (Brooks, 2006) • They are politically to the right; • They have strong family values; • They value personal entrepreneurship; • They are skeptical about governments’ intervention into economic life (and into income redistribution); • They are regular churchgoers (irrelevant of denomination).
Research Methodology:Objectives and Assumptions • Identify new or neglected potential markets for DM fundraising programs • Capacity to give (Economic Analysis) • DM Infrastructure to give (Documentary Analysis) • Propensity to give (Predictive Modeling) • Research proposition: • Individuals ready to support private philanthropy share some common values
Research Methodology:Setting • Empirical research: • Christian NGO raising funds in 25 countries • Exploring some 130 new markets for DM expansion • Successful DM Fundraising Markets: Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, the UK, the U.S.

Discussion:Fund Raising Markets • Weberian Capitalism (Weber, 1904) • Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (Weber, 1904) • Private philanthropy • PE SC MWC IR (Lesnoff, 1981) • Secularization of PE (Carroll, 2009) • Asian Drama: An Inquiry into the Poverty of Nations (Myrdal, 1968): Hindu fatalism, Confucian hierarchy, Buddhist indifference material gains • Confucian capitalism (Fukuyama, 1995; Lew, Choy & Wang, 2011)
Conclusions, Limitations and Future Research • Contribution to methodology • Importance of cultural values and predictive validity • Multi-attribute and structured approach as decision support models • Caveat: • Western business model • Modeling and human judgment • Nonprofits’ core values and compromises
