Logistics and supply chain management in base of the pyramid projects
回顾了84个针对金字塔底层人群的发展项目案例,发现物流与供应链管理在多数案例中可见度低,但在少数将BOP作为低成本产品来源的项目中作用更核心。
Abstract Bottom of the Pyramid (BOP) populations often lack access to the products and markets that would allow progress toward sustainable development goals (SDGs) (Prahalad & Hart, Strategy + Business , 2002, 26 and 1). Recognizing the fundamental role of logistics/supply chain management (LSCM) in providing such access, we review 84 case studies of development initiatives targeted at the BOP. Surprisingly, we find that LSCM has low visibility in most cases, although distribution is frequently mentioned and LSCM is a more central actor in the few cases where BOP locations are a source for low‐cost products.
