It is based on the idea that businesses can create new markets by offering suggestions to solve the social problems of low income groups in developed and developing countries. It is not addressed in the relevant literature how the approach will be functionalized as a business model while it is discussed why the approach is needed and what needs to be regarded when put into practice.
