Inclusive and Innovative Businesses and Sustainability

Companies can most notably develop inclusive business ventures, that is, sustainable business solutions that expand access to goods, services, and livelihood opportunities for low-income communities in commercially viable ways. This spurs economic growth and encourages entrepreneurship. This book implores us to address sustainability from the lens of emerging economies and the role that innovation can play in this context. This book highlights the concept of inclusive business in the current global context, provides a few examples of its application in practice, highlights the foundations for its success, and briefly presents an interactive tool, the “Inclusive Business Challenge”.
