This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many standard BOP models have been undergoing radical transformations. Newer functioning models with inclusivity with holistic, systems approach is the mantra. Development has morphed into community leadership, and societal fabric building now frames the effect of corporate governance activities on shareholder value. Not surprisingly, new voices have been calling for reinvention of marketing. CEO's cannot get clear, compelling answers about marketing's impact on the bottom line. The adage of Sam Wanamaker- that he knows that 50 percent of his advertisement works but he does not know which half –still haunts management. Consider the following: Economic liberalisation has given a new impetus to the hospitality industry. It costs an average of US$50-80 million to set up five-star hotels with 300 rentable rooms in India. The gestation period is usually between three and four years. Movements in real estate prices have to be watched, though they have stabilised in the past three years or so. Non-five-star hotels are obviously cheaper and have smaller gestation periods, but international chains are expected to go into the five-star category. Biswajit Pattajoshi offers not only a candid critique of eradicating poverty, through bottom of pyramid spins but more important a clear agenda –indeed the Samaritans agenda-for meaningful change in end of poverty by immortal brand equity white horse. He calls upon leadership to deliver value and solutions, not physicality colours. He believes that the stalwart must understand their building blocks and operations from finance to supplier partnerships. They must co-operate and compete on multidisciplinary teams, because BOP model fails whenever any part of greater agenda fails to cohort with great acres. BOP's are posing titan challenges to manage marketing tornadoes, many of which are exemplary spectaculars in waves of shareholders. Marketing change agents have led to innovative, community building indispensability models that track futuristic transformation eradicating poverty, establishing peace revolution. If community building model's take-off profits are harnessed by the BOP.
