Entrepreneurial Solutions for Prosperity in BoP Markets

Strategies for Business and Economic Transformation

By: Eric Kacou

There has been immense worldwide excitement about the potential of Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) businesses to help impoverished societies escape poverty. Unfortunately, many BoP firms are locked in a "survival trap" that keeps them small, inefficient, and unprofitable. Now, Eric Kacou identifies breakthrough business models, operational techniques, and leadership approaches that can help BoP businesses grow rapidly, successfully, and profitably. Drawing from his immense on-the-ground experience in Africa’s most challenging business environments, Kacou shows how companies can overcome the Survival Trap mindset that breeds dependence, mistrust, and failure. Next, he takes readers inside the Rwandan metamorphosis: the economic miracle that CNN’s Fareed Zakaria calls Africa’s biggest success story. Kacou shows how to address the needs of all core stakeholders. He concludes with integrated recommendations for local entrepreneurs, global businesses, governments, and international organizations: guidance that can truly launch a "virtuous cycle" of prosperity creation. For all entrepreneurs, policymakers, NGO professionals, and leaders who want to make BoP businesses work.

Fly Africa

How Aviation Can Generate Prosperity Across the Continent

By: Eric Kacou,Hassan El-Houry

Africa is brimming with potential and enthusiasm. With foresight and commitment from industry leaders and support from governments, aviation could become one of the continent's great strengths. Yet today, Africa's aviation industry lags behind much of the world, the disparity visible in its run-down airports and its airlines. But this discrepancy is not inevitable.. In Fly Africa, Hassan El-Houry, a pioneer in the African aviation industry, and Eric Kacou, an African strategist and investor, explain how the continent reached its current state, examining the huge disparities between Africa's handful of hubs and its many underserved cities and countries. Then they map a route to transforming the continent's aviation, highlighting its existing champions and illustrating the effects aviation can have on other sectors. Aviation can provide a lifeline to revitalize national economies throughout Africa and contribute to development. This book-a must-read for anyone who believes in Africa-shows how it's possible.

Mort à Mud Lick

By: Eric Eyre

2005 : William « Bull » Preece, quarante-cinq ans, est découvert mort dans son mobile home rouillé d’une overdose à l’oxycodone, un opioïde puissant délivré sur ordonnance. Debbie Preece, sa sœur, se l’est juré : Bull ne sera pas un autre chiffre dans le bilan humain désastreux des Appalaches. Bébés nés dépendants, familles détruites... Le taux de décès par overdoses aux opioïdes a quadruplé en quelques années. 2013 : Eric Eyre travaille depuis quinze ans à la Charleston Gazette, dont la devise est « s’indigner sans relâche ». Il a reçu un coup de téléphone : des liens suspects existent entre le procureur général de l’État et l’industrie pharmaceutique. Comment sept cent quatre-vingt millions de comprimés d’oxycodone et d’hydrocodone ont-ils pu être déversés en Virginie-Occidentale sans que personne ne dise un mot ? Comment une pharmacie, celle où Bull se procurait ses comprimés, a-t-elle pu vendre plus de deux millions d’analgésiques, autrement dit d’antidouleurs, dans une ville qui ne compte que trois cent quatre-vingt-deux âmes ? Et si Bull avait été la victime, parmi tant d’autres, d’un vaste trafic, juteux pour les uns, mortel pour les autres ? Pablo Escobar et El Chapo n’auraient pas mieux organisé les choses. Eric le pugnace entreprend de remonter le fil, et ce qu’il découvre dépasse l’entendement.
