Building Businesses in Emerging Markets

I've recently participated in the program "Building Businesses in Emerging Markets" at Harvard Business School. It's hard to summarize in a post so many learning experiencies. Here is one: the Bottom of the Pyramid (BOP) is quite diverse across the world, but the following recommendations presented in the classroom by Professor Kas Rangan may help you to designing your entry approach depending on each sub-segment: Middle Income, Low Income and Subsistence.




We were 40 people from 18 different countries. But let me introduce the formidable team with which I was pleased to work: Tolu Adesalu, Ralf Otto, Álvaro, Tasu Adamjee, Jesús García and Thomas Holenia.

Thanks TED, in 2006 I stopped watching TV

When I signed up in TED in 2006 I stopped watching TV. Probably, one of the smartest decisions I have ever taken. Since then, I've watched hundreds of videos from unknown scientists and professors and all sort of professionals. After 6 years belonging to this comunity, it's hard to explain how excited I am to participate at TEDxSevilla, the city were I was born.

Cuando me inscribí en TED en 2006 dejé de ver la televisión. Probablemente, una de las decisiones más inteligentes que he tomado. Desde entonces, he visto cientos de vídeos de científicos y profesores desconocidos y de todo tipo de profesionales. Después de 6 años perteneciendo a esta comunidad, es difícil de explicar lo emocionado que estoy de participar en TEDxSevilla, la ciudad donde nací.
