Students building businesses at the Bottom of the Pyramid
A US MBA Program has as its centerpiece a practicum where student teams build businesses at the Bottom of the Pyramid. They view those at the Bottom of the Pyramid as customers and partners, rather than charity cases, and build businesses to meet their needs and solve environmental problems. Students work on these ventures for all 18 months of the program, including 8-10 weeks abroad during the summer semester. Many of these student ventures continue after graduation.
