Topic of Presentation:
 The fast growth of emerging economies, coupled with the fact that the majority of the populations are at the bottom of the pyramid (BOP) so that they cannot afford those products and/or services designed for the developed markets, has made the emerging market a fertile ground for developing and applying disruptive innovations (DI).
