Interview with Miguel Angel Gardetti on Bottom of the Pyramid

November 2008- By Dr. Nagendra V Chowdary

The BOP is not one homogenous market; in fact, it is not a market at all. The BOP is a demographic classification. As a result of this misunderstanding, initial corporate efforts to serve the BOP have relied on the same market development approaches, tools, and managerial frameworks used to serve real consumers in real markets. Consequently, most first-generation corporation BOP ventures have failed to deliver any profits, much less a fortune.
