Today in class we discussed the concept, "Bottom of the Pyramid," which refers to the 4 billion people in the world living off of $2/day or less, typically in developing countries. However, the pyramid concepts actually implies a hierarchy, which is a mentality we want to avoid. Another pyramid is Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. In this class we will be looking at products and or services that address the bottom of this pyramid, to move people up the latter to self-actualization. This is not to imply however, that this should lead to how people in the US and "developed" countries lead their lives with their rate of consumption, as I discuss here.
Least Developed Countries (LDCs) were chosen from around the globe for students to research. Stay tuned to read their findings on their blogs.
