Dr. Madhubalan Viswanthan, Professor of Business Administration, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, takes a bottom-up, in-depth view of subsistence-level communities.  His pioneering, decade-long research provides unique insights into how low literacy and low income affect the way people think, feel, and build relationships in marketplaces.  He will discuss how these insights help design solutions and create enterprises in subsistence market places.
