Market-based ecosystem that allows private sector and social sector to act together and create wealth in a symbiotic relationship
?Developing ?Three

ecosystems that suits developing world

steps in creating a transaction governance capacity based on marketing ecosystem 1. Help the poor understand that there is a win-win situation for them and the firm by respecting contracts 2. The private sector can reduce the asymmetries In information, choice, ability to enforce the contracts and social standing by using Information Technology 3. The Self-Help Groups take it one step further . They start with understanding the rationale for contracting system : how & why it reduces transaction costs and therefore reduces the cost of capital as well as increasing access to capital
?Thus

Private Sector,in its desire to leverage resources and gain market coverage, will invent new sytems, which will bring more people under market based system
