6.0 Propositions and conclusion: Enterprise solutions to poverty
We have argued throughout that the expansion of enterprise, particularly SMEs, is critical to economic and poverty reduction. This is hardly a new or revolutionary argument.

Let’s review four major types of OD interventions (there are others, but they are usually variations or combinations of these four):

Pushing Dailies: Extending Your Company’s Potential
Pushed to the limits. What about pulled to the limits? We can force people to work against their will, enforce rules, and forcibly remove people from their creature comforts.
