from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
I must admit, I wasn't particularly enthused about "Deep Economy" when I picked it up... it was one of several shorter texts required for my senior seminar class as a business major. I'm so glad I stuck with it... because it's had a lasting impression upon me.
I won't give all the details... more info

This is a GREAT book and I would encourage every citizen of America to read it, young or old. It's actually a hair-raising book. Well researched and each chapter has a personal, true life story of a family or individual that has been challenged with the topic being discussed.

This book analyzes why established successful companies repeatedly miss "less sensible" (to their own value network) innovations in the low-end "emerging" market and how products in the low end market eventually displace existing products in the entire market.

7. Development as Freedom Development as Freedom
from Anchor
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
If you only have a passing interest in development theory, you may find this book terribly boring and hard to read. Certainly, he doesn't go out of his way to be entertaining.
But if you are looking for real innovation in thought and discussion on this issue, then this book is a must read. It... more info

I learned about CK Prahalad and the BOP about two years ago doing a school project. I'm a graphic designer, so my approach is far removed from the typical business person's.

from Princeton University Press

Customer Review:
I might not agree with significant parts of the book, but it is interesting and, as is true with Rodrick's work generally, it makes one think.
