With current global sustainability challenges such as environmental degradation, increasing poverty, and financial crisis, a functional understanding of sustainable development is necessary especially in developing countries (Nations 2013). Economic growth is the most powerful instrument for reducing poverty, improving quality of life, and can produce prosperity and opportunity. Environmental constraints in developing countries are identified by inefficient technology, weak governance, and low per capita Income (Stern 2008). Therefore, the emphasis for developing countries is on the need for progress, a desire to have social and economic growth. Business has a central role in promoting economic growth as job creators, providers of training and skills, investors in the physical and knowledge-based capital and through the diffusion of their products and services to marginalized groups. Firms are also increasingly recognizing their role in reducing inequalities and are helping shape policy and regulatory environments (Likoko and Kini 2017). Therefore, the idea of Inclusive Business can be a useful business model to resolve socio-economic problems and improve the standard of living by raising incomes and providing jobs in developing countries (London and Hart 2010).
