Deadline: November 1st, 2019
Over the past decade, Frugal Innovations have garnered the attention of management scholars and practitioners due to their high economic potential and rapidly growing adoption in business. With its roots
in emerging economies, Frugal Innovation as a concept has come a long way from focusing on subsistence marketplaces to being applied to address global challenges such as changing demographics and climate change. Specifically, in
light of the ongoing digital revolution and arrival of new business models such as sharing and circular economy, Frugal Innovations are being explored on a global scale from various new perspectives. The
focus is drifting away from merely being ‘cost’ and ‘BoP’ driven innovations to being ‘green’ and ‘sustainable’ innovations. However, unlike this shift, a large part of current research on Frugal Innovation is still oriented towards BoP markets and low-cost
strategies.
Marking the start of a new wave of Frugal Innovation research, this book comes at an appropriate time to encourage
academicians to explore the concept of Frugal Innovation from new perspectives and set future research agenda. To discuss different product development strategies and tools that are being employed by organizations across the globe to implement Frugal Innovations.
