Reverse innovation to fight Covid-19: A resource website from
NU’s Center for Emerging Markets
Some countries in Asia and Africa with experience fighting multiple epidemics, such as SARS, MERS, Ebola, or Zika have had per-capita death rates from COVID-19 that are
less than 1% that of US or Europe. The whole world can and must learn from them.
To help in that effort, Northeastern University’s Center for Emerging Markets has created a website called
Reverse innovation to fight Covid-19 listing ideas used in Asia/Africa to contain COVID-19. It builds on the article,
“Using reverse innovation to fight Covid-19,”
Harvard Business Review, June 17, 2020.
We welcome your feedback. Please also help us
crowdsource ideas by sharing the website, Reverse innovation to fight Covid-19, with your social network, including
FB, LinkedIn, etc. and feel free also to use in your courses.
Thanks, Ravi
