dc.description.abstractThe role and the interest of business creating positive impact in poverty reduction are more significant than ever. Although, it is convincing in theory, in practice, the actual impact of business on poverty reduction is still seen as controversial. In this context, to gauge the actual picture of how a business can contribute to poverty alleviation, this paper aims to investigate into a business case known to develop a commercially viable pro-poor business to provide critical assessments on the direct impacts of a business create on the lives of the poor especially those with the lowest income tier. Thus, this paper conducts an in-depth qualitative case study on Vodafone’s M-PESA business in Kenya, which is known to be operating successfully by inventing an innovative mobile money transfer service to address financial inclusion issue. This paper assesses how and to what extent Vodafone has contributed directly in poverty reduction and identifies key success factors. The research findings show that Vodafone has had positive effects in Kenya, increasing government tax revenue, creating employment, launching an innovative pro-poor service, and generating technological spillover. Yet, some limitations still remain to fully reach the poorest of the poor. In addition, the success of M-PESA can be summarized as four factors: 1) a challenge fund for a specific development purpose, 2) an effective Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with the engagement of a small middle actor 3) a thorough needs assessment and a pilot study, and 4) Vodafone's good relationship with local stakeholders. ;본 논문은 국제사회에서 최근 그 중요성이 높아진 빈곤감소에서의 기업의 역할에 대한 논의와 기업들의 전략적CSR에 대한 증가하는 관심에 따라 빈곤 감소 특히 최빈층의 빈곤감소 에 있어 실제 기업이 직접적으로 어떻게 그리고 얼만큼 기여를 할 수 있는지 알아보고자 했다. 이를 위해 빈곤층을 위한 비즈니스(Pro-poor business)인 영국 Vodafone이 케냐의 금융소외계층 문제를 해결하기 위해 개발한 M Pesa라는 혁신적 모바일 현금수송 서비스 사례를 분석하였다.. 이 분석을 통해 Vodafone은 저개발국가의 정부 세금, 고용 창출, 빈곤층을 위한 혁신적인 서비스 개발 및 기술이전 효과에 크게 기여하고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 다만, 최빈층에게까지 그 영향력이 충분히 도달하기에는 한계가 있음이 드러났다. 또한, 다양한 참여자들의 파트너쉽과 더불어 특정 개발목적달성을 위한 개발기금, 철저한 수요조사 및 시범사업(pilot program), 헌신적인 중(소)기업과의 파트너십, 그리고 수혜국 이해관계자들과의 우호적인 관계형성 등이M Pesa의 성공요인이었음을 알 수 있었다.-
