For well over 4 billion people - approximately 60% of all humanity
- annual income is less than $1,500. The term "Base of the Pyramid"
was first coined by Stuart L. Hart and C.K. Prahalad in 2002 and
has become synonymous with both the method by which we can more
effectively address poverty and the opportunity that exists in a
multi-trillion-dollar market. A whole new lexicon has emerged to
describe this phenomenon, including new buzzwords and catch phrases
like "inclusive business", "opportunities for the majority",
"sustainable livelihoods", "pro-poor business" and "social
business", and thousands of new businesses, institutions and
investment funds have been set up.In this ground-breaking new book,
Stuart L. Hart and Fernando Casado Caneque have worked with members
of the BoP Global Network to shake the tree, look objectively at
what has happened since 2002, highlight why earlier applications of
BoP haven't worked and propose new objectives and ways of working
to formulate more sustainable solutions. The book challenges the
reader and organizations to think about the mindset and purpose
across whole organizations, open innovation rather than simply
co-creation, and a complete review of the innovation ecosystem.
Through this book, practitioners will gain a clearer insight into
which business models can work within different communities to
ensure a sustainable transition to improved local economies.
Equally, the book is a must-read for researchers and students in
the fields of entrepreneurship, innovation, sustainable development
and environmental management.
This book analyzes implementation of Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) programs at the state level, examines costs, and suggests
ways to improve efficiency and effectiveness. It introduces an EIS
Cost Accounting System as an aid to understanding the form of the
costs of the EIS process.
This book considers ways in which the development of scientific and
technical information for Environmental Impact Statements can be
improved. It addresses legal, social, political, and ecological
issues and explores ways to facilitate communication between
researchers and policymakers.

Since the signing of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
on January 1, 1970, eighteen states have initiated their own
programs of compre-hensive environmental review. These State
Environ-mental Policy Acts (SEPA's), or "NEPA equivalents," &re
generally patterned after the policies, goals, and processes
established by NEPA but, at the same time, demonstrate a great deal
of variability in terms of extent as well as style of
implementation. They are "equivalent," however, in the sense that
they all utilize a similar tool--the environmental impact statement
(EIS).
As Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) become increasingly
important in the policymaking process, it is vital that they be as
complete and accurate as possible. The authors of this volume
consider ways in which the development and evaluation of scientific
and technical information for EIS can be improved. Addressing key
