Abstract: | Currently, entrepreneurs and corporations overwhelmingly do not view the alleviation of global poverty as a strategic priority.
Yet business activity can have a negative as well as a positive effect on each distinctive form of poverty. In order to reduce
poverty, entrepreneurs have to find ways of limiting the negative aspects. This might be achieved by deliberately augmenting
strategies so that they can achieve a synthesis, in partnership with governments and NGO’s.
