Thebo4omofthepyramidconcept
Improving the lives of the billions of people at the bottom of the economic pyramid is a noble endeavor.
It can also be a lucrative one.
C.K. Prahalad & A. Hammond
Claims of the BoP approach
The 4 billion people with a PPP below $2,000 have up to now been largely overlooked by MNCs. The BoP market offers 3 main advantages:
(1) Immense growth potentials (2) Reduced costs (3) Innovation
Criticism
Aneel Karnani (2007) criticizes the BoP and describes several deficiencies in Prahalad’s assumptions.
(1) Scalability is difficult (2) Cost-quality trade-offs (3) Exploitation

Lessonslearned
Bottom of the pyramid markets are complex.
Classical challenges (e.g. quality, incentives, conflict) reappear in unique contextual settings.
Finding the levers of poverty is key.
Joint ventures with NGOs can provide access to vital experiences in target markets.
