520 This book presents many innovative approaches to reducing
poverty through business commitment involvement, and
leadership. Some of these approaches may look promising
now at their current level of success but will turn out to
be limited in their scalability or in their ability to
sustain themselves and endure over time. However, all of
them offer fruitful grounds for inquiry and learning. It
is our intention that sharing the learning from these
projects and initiatives from around the world will be
useful to others committed to assisting the poor in
escaping from poverty - especially by bringing the poor
into productive business activities. It is also our
intention that these experiences stimulate ideas for new
directions that build upon and go beyond the rich variety
of projects and successes described by the authors in this
book. The book supports C K. Prahalad's work made
available in a number of ways including his very
influential book The Fortune at the Bottom ofthe Pyramid:
Eradicating Poverty through Profits (Wharton, 2004).
Prahalad's work has called attention to creative ways to
think about the question ofpoverty and how it might be
reduced and eventually eliminated. He suggests ways.
ofthinking and acting that break many ofthe traditional
rigidities that occur in how we think about markets and
business practices. Although one theme ofPrahalad's work
relates to the benefits of marketing to the poor by
supplying products better fitting the needs of low income
individuals and groups, his work also emphasizes ways in
which the poor can produce innovatively conceived and
designed products for themselves and for others. This
emphasis on enabling the poor to become productive is also
presented forcefhuly in Craig and Peter Wilson' s, Make
Poverty Business: Increase Profits and Reduce Risks by
Engaging with the Poor Greenleaf 2006. Like Drucker, they
see the real challenge to be helping the poor find work
that is productive and sustainable. One of their
contributions is their emphasis on the importance of
creating access to credit and insurance as an important
part of enabling people to achieve productive livelihoods.
