RC Question 14 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: The relationship between Grameen’s business model and those of …

DISCUSSION: Grameen represents the original model based on group lending and credit-only services. BRI and SafeSave come later with the same goal to serve poor clients but add important improvements. They don’t reject Grameen but refine and expand on what it started.

So we need an analogy where:

• There’s an early, successful version of something
• Later versions keep the core idea
• But add new components or enhancements that improve performance

___________

1. BRI and SafeSave had the same audience as Grameen (poor people).
2. Implies translating a vision into practice, not building improved versions of an existing model.
3. CORRECT. This mirrors the relationship. Grameen is the classical device, and BRI/SafeSave are improved versions that keep the original purpose but add enhancements (savings).
4. BRI/SafeSave didn’t only adapt the model to different conditions, they added a new component to improve it.
5. Like A, this introduces changes in target audience, which isn’t the case here.
