Changemakers’ Solutions Mosaic provides us with a useful visual when it comes to business models that work in low-income markets. The mosaic (it probably ought to be called a matrix instead, but oh well) has both X and Y axes; they list distinguishing features of low-income markets and corresponding business principles that are emerging to address them. At the intersection of each row/column, Changemakers provides a link to an enterprise using the business model in question to address that column’s feature. CEMEX, Casas Bahia, and the Aravind Eye Hospital are among the stalwart enterprises listed; others may not have appeared on your radar quite yet. All in all, a very cool tool – check it out. As an aside, what rows or columns would you like to see added to the Mosaic?
