Hi Listers,
My take is that MJ has been a good and astute student of C K Prahlad, he of the 'The fortune at the bottom of the pyramid' concept or what others will call the Bottom Billion (though there are varying thoughts for and against this line of thinking).
However, by thinking through the needs of those at the lowers levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, he has created an enviable machine.
Companies in the manufacturing sector do manufacture smaller Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) for the 'kadogo economy', but have probably not perfected their supply chain to reach the intended consumers as widely.
There is definitely something for them to learn how MJ has perfected the supply chain to work as well as it does.
Best regards

Hi Listers
Many thanks for the exciting and very candid contribution - straight from the heart. It came out clearly that there is something in MJ's character that produces the results we see. Mj was '---smart enough to take advantage of the situation during his tenure-- ' . Did MJ create the situation or just took advantage?
Lets reflect on the lessons of his early years in the ict industry. The company was small and indeed an underdog - today this is no more
There were and still are many companies that were in same position. Some have gone under while others are struggling
What lessons do the MJ actions teach such companies ?
Can the lessons from MJ replicated to other industries?
cheers
Muriuki Mureithi
