How economic development can address unmet human needs on a large scale

Bangladeshi villagers with cell phones helped build what is now a thriving $200 million company. What is the lesson for the rest of the world? This is a question author Nick Sullivan addresses in the tale of a new kind of entrepreneur, Iqbal Quadir.

Sullivan provides a new approach to building business opportunity in the developing world through a compelling account of what he calls the " external combustion engine" – a combination of market elements and forces that is already lifting people out of poverty in the Third World. The " engine" comprises three outside forces: information technology, imported by native entrepreneurs trained in the West, backed by foreign investors. Focusing primarily on the gripping stories of fast-growing cell phone companies, particularly Bangladesh’ s renowned GrameenPhone, the book describes an inclusive capitalism that engages and enables many of the 4 billion people at the " bottom of the pyramid."

Nicholas P. Sullivan (Boston, MA) has written and lectured extensively about technology, entrepreneurship, and business as editor in chief at Inc.com. He serves as publisher for the journal Innovations: Technology / Governance / Globalization (MIT Press).
