We must execute investment strategies that break down the wall between investments that are supposed to do well and those thought to do good.

Business Linkages: Enabling Access to Markets at the Base of the Pyramid
07/22/2009
IFC, International Business Leaders Forum, and the CSR Initiative at the Harvard Kennedy School

The Business Linkages roundtable dialogues, held in partnership with the
International Business Leaders Forum and the CSR Initiative at the Harvard
Kennedy School, explore business models that incorporate those at the BOP as consumers, producers, and entrepreneurs, with special emphasis on producers and entrepreneurs. This emphasis was particularly pronounced in Jaipur, with the effects of the financial crisis making themselves felt throughout the economic pyramid around the world. Now, more than ever, we must find sustainable ways of reducing vulnerability and expanding opportunity for all.
