Abstract
Purpose – To enhance the understanding of the moderating influence of different bottom of the pyramid
(BOP) income segments on the antecedents of pro-poor innovation acceptance.
Design/methodology/approach – In this study, 320 BOP consumers with a range of low-to-moderate
literacy and low-income levels were used as a convenience non-probability sample for undertaking quantitative
analyses.
Findings – Only the influence of perceived usefulness on intention is moderated by income segments, such
that the effect will be stronger for low-income BOP segment. Moreover, the influences of relative advantage,
compatibility and observability on intention are moderated by income segments.
Practical implications – This empirical work has considerable private sector and public policy implications
for companies and government designing/selling products for millions of poor people in developing and
emerging economies.
Originality/value – This study contributes originally to knowledge in the subject area as there are very few
studies that clearly and systematically analyse the key antecedents influencing the adoption intention of pro-poor technological innovations in the BOP market.
