[kictanet] The big Kwaheri: reflecting on 10 years on the MJ 10 yr safari and his-tory - day 2

[jwaruingi at advantech.co.ke]

Hi Listers,

My take is that MJ has been a good and astute student of C K Prahlad,  
he of the 'The fortune at the bottom of the pyramid' concept or what  
others will call the Bottom Billion (though there are varying thoughts  
for and against this line of thinking).

However, by thinking through the needs of those at the lowers levels  
of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, he has created an enviable machine.

Companies in the manufacturing sector do manufacture smaller Stock  
Keeping Units (SKUs) for the 'kadogo economy', but have probably not  
perfected their supply chain to reach the intended consumers as widely.

There is definitely something for them to learn how MJ has perfected  
the supply chain to work as well as it does.

Best regards
