Abstract
According to the World Bank, approximately 3 billion people, almost half of the earth’s inhabitants live in poverty (World Bank, 2008). Although substantial progress in the war against poverty has been made, the need for economic development is pressing and real. Over the past year, my mentor and I have sought to identify the role that corporations play in creating meaningful and sustainable economic around the world. In particular, we examine and define the ways that these multi-national companies can increase the level of institutional capital in their areas of operation.
