Abstract

With over three billion people currently living below the poverty line, finding better ways to lift people out of poverty is a concern of scholars from a range of disciplines. Within Management Studies, the focus is on developing market-based solutions to poverty alleviation through Bottom/Base-of-the-Pyramid (BoP) initiatives. To date, these have enjoyed limited success, sometimes even exacerbating the problems they attempt to solve. As a result, there is a growing academic and practitioner push for a third iteration—BoP 3.0—that moves closer to a sustainable development model of poverty alleviation. Through a grounded theory study of 21 Philippines-based organizations implementing poverty alleviation initiatives at the community level, this paper seeks to add to the existing suite of tools and guidance in the BoP field. It does so by questioning how these organizations approach the development and implementation of market-based approaches to poverty alleviation. Our results suggest that these organizations adopt a more community-centric approach, focusing on the creation of a self-reliant community before all else. We find this to be the result of a deeper understanding of the drivers of poverty in the communities they work with. Through the extrapolation of key themes and issues in our data, we propose a new conceptual model for building BoP 3.0 initiatives. This model consists of three intertwined theoretical dimensions: understanding issues as matters of concern; identifying limitations; and navigating time. These elements are linked by three active phases that allowed the organizations to move from one dimension to the next: sensemaking; entrainment; and investment.

Shah, Anup. “Poverty Facts and Stats – Global Issues.” http://www.globalissues.org/article/26/poverty-facts-and-stats. Accessed on 21 February 2017.

The new propositions for changes to the BoP approach have been labeled several ways, including as impact BoP enterprises (London 2016), BoP 3.0 (Cañeque and Hart 2015), and BoP 4.0 (Gupta and Khilji 2013). We incorporate these ideas as BoP 3.0 to maintain the nomenclature used for the BoP to date. Further, BoP 3.0 is by far the most followed and accepted name (e.g., Cañeque and Hart 2015; Cieslik 2016; Mason et al. 2017; Yurdakul et al. 2017).

World Bank (2015). http://povertydata.worldbank.org/poverty/home/ (accessed 21 February, 2017).

While the evolving BoP 3.0 approach overlaps to some extent with social entrepreneurship, in the sense that both represent a market-based approach to solving poverty, it remains different in its focus. Rather than being an additional revenue stream for NGOs or relying partially on grants and donations and other forms of support from non-market actors, as many social enterprises do (Cañeque and Hart 2015; Cieslik 2016; Dasgupta and Hart 2015), BoP 3.0 is instead more focused on the development of inclusive and self-reliant businesses that have the potential to grow.
