4. Urbanomics Consulting Group Overview
Strategic Community Investment in EDMs has been our work for
over a decade with people, places or enterprises with growth potential that face
capital constraints due to systematic undervaluation as a result of imperfect
market information. In recent years, our work has taken aim at philanthropy in
EDMs.
The
markets
include:
Urban and rural communities;
Ethnic and women-owned firms;
Companies serving low-to-moderate income populations; and
Other small- and medium-sized businesses.
Emerging Domestic Markets consist of the fastest-growing segments of the U.S.
economy and have an enormous, untapped growth potential for businesses.
Corporations that tailor their community involvement initiatives to address needs
of EDMs can expand market share of their products among these influential and
affluent consumer segments.
