Piramidin Tabanındaki Soğutucu İnovasyonlarından Çıkarılacak Dersler

Abstract

Dünyada gelir piramidinin tabanında yer alan yaklaşık bir milyar insanın enerjiye ulaşımı olmadığından gıdalarını muhafaza edecek elektrikli bir soğutucu da kullanamazlar. Gıdaları muhafaza amacıyla Hindistan ve Afrika için geliştirilmiş Chotukool, MittiCool, Zeer ve FreshBox olmak üzere dört farklı soğutucunun ele alındığı çalışmada, ülkemiz okuyucusuna bu çözümleri tanıtmanın yanısıra, fakir pazarlar için ürün geliştirme süreçlerinde dikkat edilmesi gereken hususların altı çizilmektedir. Tüketiciyi anlamak, rekabetin çerçevesini belirlemek ve ürün konumlandırma aşamalarında yapılacak hataların, büyük bütçeli yeni ürün geliştirme projelerini nasıl felakete götüreceği yaşanan bir örnek üzerinden ortaya konulmuştur.
