Key Learnings

  • How specific management practices can increase a company’s impact and contribution to SDGs. 
  • How to adapt traditional management practices to the context of inclusive business or develop new ones.
  • How management principles correlate with the continuity and growth of inclusive business (IB) initiatives.

Description

The toolkit looks at the constraints within multinational corporations (MNCs) that are preventing the uptake and internalisation of inclusive business models. It considers the internal barriers to scale and the specific management practices that MNCs adopt or develop for their inclusive business. It presents what it means to develop and tailor management practices to inclusive business, why it is important for the success of the inclusive business and how companies can improve and become leaders.

This work draws on a decade of experience engaging with companies implementing IB across sizes, sectors and regions. It includes insights from the latest State of IB Survey and interviews with executives from over 20 corporations across 10 sectors and all 5 regions, allowing BCtA to create a tool designed for internal change.

This toolkit is relevant for you if...

  • You are an IB, particularly a multinational corporation or a large company, looking for a practical instrument to improve business performance across all areas of IB
  • You are looking for a tool to motivate and drive change and focus on internal management practices to drive and scale your IB.
