Procter & Gamble PuR Purifier of WaterTM (A): Developing the Product and Taking it to Market
內容大綱
P&G's PuR: Purifier of Water, a household water treatment sold in small sachets, was developed by P&G, in collaboration with the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and targeted 'bottom of the pyramid' (BOP) households, where water treatment facilities are often lacking. The product was a technological and public health success, but a commercial market failure (Case A). Internal stakeholders, however, believed in the effort. They re-positioned the initiative as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) venture, and found support within P&G's corporate organization, where it ultimately became a centerpiece of P&G's global CSR portfolio (Case B). The case chronicles the journey from product development for the commercial market, to CSR-supported BOP partnerships with the non-profit sector. A related case is available, exploring P&G's social marketing partnership with the global NGO, Population Services International (PSI): 'Procter & Gamble and Population Services International (PSI): Social Marketing for Safe Water'.
