WHAT IS AN INCLUSIVE BUSINESS? WHY SHOULD LARGE COMPANIES CHANGE THEIR BUSINESS MODEL TO BECOME MORE INCLUSIVE? WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES TO INCLUSIVITY?
NIKE
Nike experienced hyper competition and falling demand, causing significant pressure to increase margins through cost savings As a result, Nike decided to sub-contract product manufacturing to secondary manufacturers in emerging markets such as Cambodia and Vietnam Benefits to Nike included cost savings due to reduced wages, as well as reduced capital expenditures Low-income workers receive employment, and small businesses get integrated into a global supply chain, resulting in higher quality and standards
NESTLE
25% of Nestles global revenues depend on coffee exports from Vietnam; investing in capacitating coffee farmers is imperative to secure a steady and robust supply of beans Nestle directly purchases coffee beans from farmers; additionally, to increase farmer retention, Nestle provides important technical training and assistance to promote sustainable agriculture Nestle was able to expand its supplier base, and secured the supply of high quality beans Benefits to the farmers included higher yields, better prices, and increased access to training and finance
Now with the clean water project, we benefit from clean qualified water. We are so happy; we can use it directly for cooking and drinking. There are two fountains, one for cooking and drinking and another one for cleaning. Beneficiary villager in Dao Xa Village
The facts on the ground suggest there are still enormous problems with these supply chains and factories ... what is Nike doing to change the picture and give workers more rights?. Michael Posner, Human Rights First
Nestles plans, [of] improving post-harvesting techniques like drying, are a good step in promoting economic stability. If these are addressed successfully, then the investment could be very positive for Vietnamese coffee producers. Pablo Dubois, International Coffee Organization

Can we buy directly from local BoP suppliers? Can we help increase vendor capacity by investing in training? Can we provide/facilitate access to finance to vendors?
Are there non-traditional actors that can help in raising awareness generation and marketing efforts (E.g. government, civil sector, NGOs, etc.)?
How do we use technology to provide better aftersales support to the BoP? Can we work with BoP entrepreneurs to help with aftersales support and consumer feedback?

How can we optimize energy usage? How can we build employee capacity by investing in training and professional development? How can we customize benefits to suit low income employees?
How can we minimize any negative impact on the environment? How do we provide access to information to our logistics partners to help them become more efficient? Are there local networks that we can tap into and develop for transportation and distribution? Can we reorganise the business to enable work with small orders/inventory sizes?
How do we make products more affordable? How do we provide financing to BoP consumers who cannot afford high up front payments? How do I ensure effective tailoring of products to suit the BoP needs?

Why should large companies change their business model to become more inclusive?
11
BECAUSE being inclusive means working with approximately 57% (~3.9B people) of the worlds population that otherwise remains poorly engaged

15
BECAUSE engaging the BoP can spark innovation that not only overcomes emerging market barriers
SELECTED EXAMPLES OF INNOVATION AT THE BOP
PRODUCTS
Problem: Electricity is expensive for BoP Supply of electricity is unreliable for majority of the BoP population Innovation: Products and appliances that are not dependent on grid connectivity to operate Products and appliances that emphasize energy efficiency, and entail minimal running costs Examples include low-voltage tablets (Aakash), LED lights (Nokero 200), and refrigerators (Godrejs Chotu kool)
SERVICES
Problem: Up front ability to pay is low Access to financial services is limited or non-existent Innovation: Pay-per-use models that prioritize increased access over asset ownership. E.g. Sarvajal for drinking water, Ecotact for sanitation Mobile money platforms that use local networks and mobile technology to provide basic banking services (deposits, withdrawals, loan payments, transfers, etc.) to under-covered BoP. E.g. Safaricoms mPesa in Kenya
16
BUT ALSO drives development of products with significant potential in richer markets
SELECTED EXAMPLES OF REVERSE INNOVATION
GE Medical Systems developed an affordable, portable EKG machine specifically for rural India to overcome infrastructure and access challenges
Grameen Bank pioneered the concept of providing group-based micro-loans to low-income households in rural Bangladesh
The machine costs $2,500, compared to $10,000 for standard machines in developed markets
The new product has now been successfully marketed in developed markets
The group-lending model for small loans was replicated in urban America by Grameen America, in 2008
Grameen America has reached 12,500 families and disbursed over USD 60m in micro-loans

AND FINALLY, BECAUSE for many large multinational companies, being inclusive is not a choice, its simply good business
The worlds leading companies expect emerging markets to generate approximately 70% of global economic growth over the next few years1 companies that seek to effectively include underserved populations in these countries in their business models will benefit the most
LICENSE TO
OPERATE
Protests and instability in the market hurts business; by taking substantive voluntary steps to invest in the local environment and community companies can reduce reputational risks and persuade governments and the wider public to allow business operations without interference or obstruction
COST SAVINGS
Inclusive business practices help build relationships and trust within the local community; this provides the company with access to local pools of labor that are otherwise hard to find and work with, enabling the company to save costs in the long run
EMPLOYEE
RETENTION
The pool of qualified talent in developing markets is shallow there is strong demand and weak supply of capable and skilled employees; losing talent is bad for business as recruiting (to refill existing positions) and re-training are expensive
Businesses that adopt inclusive practices enhance their reputation and credibility within the community, and inspire loyalty within their workforce, thereby increasing retention

Companies face two important sets of challenges when trying to engage with the BoP
EXTERNAL CHALLENGES External factors including inadequate infrastructure and transportation, dispersed consumers, poor access to information, products and finance, and lack of market information affect business growth and scale.
INTERNAL CHALLENGES Developing an inclusive business can challenge the existing operations, capacities and processes within a business. This may lead to internal tension and opposition to change.
21
There are five critical market-based challenges that limit business growth and scale
CHALLENGE Limited purchasing power, no financial access IMPLICATIONS FOR BUSINESSES
EXTERNAL
Even inexpensive products and services may be unaffordable for the average BoP consumer BoP businesses find it difficult to increase capacity or achieve scale (including as suppliers to other businesses) Consumer willingness to pay suffers as they there is limited access to product information, including availability, quality, usability, prices, etc Suppliers, distributors and retailers may lack the knowledge and skills to deliver quality products and services, consistently, and cost effectively Standard distribution models are very costly and ineffective in reaching BoP populations
Hard to reach
Procurement is inefficient, with presence of several intermediaries Procurement is unreliable given poor infrastructure and limited capacity of SMEs
Businesses know very little about poor peoplewhat they prefer, what they can afford, and what products and capabilities they have to offer as employees, producers and entrepreneurs
22
Innovative inclusive business models have tried to address market barriers (1/2)
CHALLENGES BUSINESS MODELS
Purchase finance
EXTERNAL
DESCRIPTION
Focus on lowering transaction costs of consumer finance and provide micro-loans to individuals/groups for smallticket purchases Implement alternate payment models in which customers pay for each use of the product, instead of owning it Sell product in smaller unit sizes and lower prices
EXAMPLES
Pay-per-use
Incorporate B2B financing within IB models that engage the BoP as suppliers, including trade finance, partnering with commercial banks, etc. Partner/co-invest with government bodies, donors, local bodies to implement awareness and education campaigns Invest in technical training / professional development to fill staffing needs Disaggregate operations into discrete tasks that can be performed by low or un-skilled BoP populations
MEKONG BAMBOO
De-skilling
23
Innovative inclusive business models have tried to address market barriers (2/2)
CHALLENGES BUSINESS MODELS DESCRIPTION EXAMPLES
EXTERNAL
Micro-entrepreneur/ Increase points-of-sale in hard-to-reach areas by hiring and micro-franchise developing the BoP as micro-level entrepreneurs and franchisees Hard to reach Partnerships Build linkages with SMEs, rural NGOs and other businesses etc. that are local to the target market, to leverage proven networks and systems and reach BoP consumers
Direct purchase
Purchase directly from BoP producers, and develop their capacity through training and investment Purchase from cooperatives or other apex organizations of BoP producers, and collaborate with them to improve / increase production capacity Purchase from intermediaries that aggregate supply from BoP producers
BoP-owned cooperative
Third-party aggregator
Various
Emphasize establishing linkages and relationships with local individuals and organizations in the business model, in order to gain context and key market information.

Sarvajal uses a PAY-PER-USE model to provide low-income and rural communities access to safe and clean drinking water
WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? Rural access to clean drinking water is very poor, leading to a vast majority of all diseases in India; Sarvajal wanted to develop a low-cost, market-based solution to increase access.
HOW WAS IT SOLVED? Sarvajal used a franchisee-based model in which village-level entrepreneurs operated solar-powered water purifiers for community access to clean drinking water Community members used a pre-paid card to buy water from the entrepreneur; the card is re-chargeable via the mobile phone WHAT WERE THE OUTCOMES? Sarvajal supplies clean drinking water to more than 150 cities, towns and villages in India at Rs. 0.25 0.50 per liter Sarvajal has provided employment and income-generation opportunities to water entrepreneurs in Indian villages WHAT WAS LEARNT? Challenges of operating in rural environments can be overcome by innovatively and effectively incorporating technology into the business model, e.g. for cashless payment and re-charge, for aftersales servicing and quality monitoring, etc. Identifying high-capacity entrepreneurs/franchisees is difficult and can often make or break the business
25
WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? Guangshas construction workers were poorly trained, which led to a number of costly on-site accidents
HOW WAS IT SOLVED? Guangsha created free-tuition vocational schools at each construction site of more than 50,000 meters Semi-permanent day laborers are required to pass four training exams in order to get official Guangsha contracts Training certificates are only valid for one year and must be renewed annually or at the start of each project, whichever is sooner WHAT WERE THE OUTCOMES? In 2005, Guangsha had net profits of $19 million and an output value of $670.7 million 90% of students receive training certificate on their first attempt
WHAT WAS LEARNT? Providing training for BoP employees can reduce costs, mitigate risks, and improve employee retention Training programs for BoP employees often require large upfront investments (e.g. Guangsha invested $3.65 billion to start schools)
26
Nestle established a network of MICRO-DISTRIBUTOR FRANCHISEES to expand their reach among the urban poor in Brazil
WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? Nestl could not reach BoP consumers because its typical distribution model using a full truck would not work in favelas with narrow streets
HOW WAS IT SOLVED? Nestl identified a network of distributors and micro-distributors who would buy products and assemble assortments appropriate for distribution to micro-retailers in favelas Distributors also assembled pre-packaged kits for direct sales to families in their homes, using trusted direct sales agents from local communities WHAT WERE THE OUTCOMES? Nestl increased sales among BoP consumers in favelas Nestl created jobs by recruiting informal workers to become direct sales agents and micro-distributors WHAT WAS LEARNT? BoP can be effective distributor of products to hard to reach communities Hiring local staff (e.g. direct sales agents) with relationships of trust within the community can increase direct sales to BoP consumers
27
Intel partnered with the Government of Vietnam to SPREAD AWARENESS AND EFFECTIVELY MARKET its affordable laptops within target populations
WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? Intel wanted to increase penetration of its low-cost laptops within low-income households in Vietnam Poor awareness of IT and IT products among low-income households in Vietnam
HOW WAS IT SOLVED? Intel worked with the Vietnamese Government to increase awareness of information technology through programs on digital literacy, and by working directly with schools, hospitals and offices, and by targeting small businesses and farmers in rural areas
WHAT WERE THE OUTCOMES? Intel provided more than 100,000 affordable PCs to young Vietnamese people via a government program Increased technology access and IT awareness in more than 200 community centers Adoption of Intel provided laptops in schools, hostpitals and government offices WHAT WAS LEARNT? Working with the Govt can be an effective means of encouraging product adoption, while increasing awareness of potential benefits Working with the Govt can open new doors to working with local product/service providers, banks, etc .
28
Starbucks secured its supply of quality coffee beans in Latin America by PURCHASING DIRECTLY from smallholder farmers, and by investing in training
WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? Consumers demand coffee with various combinations of the following characteristics: high quality, sustainable production, fair trade, traceability, and improved social conditions in farming communities.
HOW WAS IT SOLVED? Starbucks created the C.A.F.E. practices, which guide farmers to produce higher-quality, environmentally friendly, sustainable coffee Conservation International and other agencies help farmers implement C.A.F.E. practices Starbucks commits to purchase coffee from farmers who have a sufficiently high C.A.F.E. score WHAT WERE THE OUTCOMES? By fiscal year 2007, Starbucks made 65% of its purchases from C.A.F.E. approved suppliers and hopes to increase that percentage to 80% by 2013 WHAT WAS LEARNT? Even without greater interaction, a commitment to purchase can serve as a powerful way to engage BoP suppliers Consumers in developed countries are increasingly interested in products that engage the BoP in sustainable ways
29
Companies face two important sets of challenges when trying to engage with the BoP
EXTERNAL CHALLENGES External factors including inadequate infrastructure and transportation, dispersed consumers, poor access to information, products and finance, and lack of market information affect business growth and scale.
INTERNAL CHALLENGES Developing an inclusive business can challenge the existing operations, capacities and processes within a business. This may lead to internal tension and opposition to change.

31
There are some critical questions companies should ask themselves before engaging with BoP markets
1 Leadership 2 Business opportunity
INTERNAL
Is the senior management fully invested in the inclusive business opportunity, including support for innovation and long-term view on profitability?
What are the core capabilities of the existing business that match to important BoP needs and gaps?
3
Resources and capacity 4
Can we partner with the right organizations/networks to gain market knowledge, access to supply chains and expertise, and to develop any additional skills, capacity necessary to operate the IB? Does the business plan incorporate a long-term view on profitability and include new performance metrics and incentive structures aligned to the IB?
Business case
5 Risk analysis and mitigation 6 Monitoring and evaluation
Source: Dalberg research
Are there any risks to the existing business (brand, reputation, product cannibalization) arising from the inclusive business opportunity?
What are the best and most transparent ways in which to collect and analyze data on the predefined financial and social performance metrics, so as to effectively capture and convey the broad range of IB impact?
