| Abstract | Of recent origin, the concept of 'Bottom of the Pyramid markets' (Prahalad, 2010), close to concepts such as 'social innovation', 'inclusive innovation' (Mendoza & Thelen 2008 ; Mair & Marti 2009) or 'frugal innovation' (Bhatti & Ventresca 2012; Sehgal & al. 2010), describes a set of initiatives taken by private investors, and among them by multinational companies, linking the development of innovative products/services to the fight against poverty (Dalsace & Menasce, 2010 ; Mair & Marti, 2009). Although they are assimilated to a market strategy that does not require financial aid, most of the firms' BoP projects are developed in the framework of CSR policies. Based on in-depth empirical research in partnership with Schneider Electric, the analysis follows how actors of a BoP project face various political concerns in the multiple demands for reconciling responsibility and mass consumption, ecological norms and low-cost criteria, sustainable development and poverty. |
