商品簡介
For well over 4 billion people – approximately 60% of all humanity – annual income is less than $1,500. The term “Base of the Pyramid” was first coined by Stuart L. Hart and C.K. Prahalad in 2002 and has become synonymous with both the method by which we can more effectively address poverty and the opportunity that exists in a multi-trillion-dollar market. A whole new lexicon has emerged to describe this phenomenon, including new buzzwords and catch phrases like “inclusive business”, “opportunities for the majority”, “sustainable livelihoods”, “pro-poor business” and “social business” and thousands of new businesses, institutions and investment funds have been set up.
In this ground-breaking new book, Stuart L. Hart and Fernando Casado Cañeque have worked with members of the BoP Global Network to shake the tree, look objectively at what has happened since 2002, highlight why earlier applications of BoP haven’t worked and propose new objectives and ways of working to formulate more sustainable solutions.
"Base of the Pyramid 3.0 is a must-read for anyone that wants to understand the evolution, challenges and opportunities of BoP."
