“…Through strong innovation executive leadership, employees are encouraged to increase their contribution towards innovations, and their behaviour and culture lead to a deeper place of innovation thought and culture. Many researchers underlined the managers' role as a supportive factor in facilitating innovation (Bocken & Short, 2016; Farooq, 2017; Krohn & Herstatt, 2018; Ramdorai & Herstatt, 2015).…”

Frugal innovation enablers, critical success factors and barriers: A systematic review

This study aims to develop a model for the enablers, critical success factors (CSF) and barriers to frugal innovation (FI). A systematic literature review (SLR) conducted on 372 documentaries of five databases and semistructured interviews conducted with active industrial and academic experts in the innovation field. Then, factors obtained from SLR and interviews placed in two questionnaires with Likert spectrum and the questionnaires were submitted to 200 convenient samples to determine the importance of factors and then ranked through the Friedman test. Based on the findings, ‘optimization of energy consumption in industries, collaborating with local companies, management supports, paying attention to the needs of the local market and reducing the profit margin’ are among the enablers and CSFs of FI. ‘Lack of business acumen among local partners, senior management reluctances, challenging in R&D, challenges of prototyping in product development and currency fluctuations’ are among the barriers of FI.

“…According to those who employ the concept, few issues of development are not amenable to disruptive solutions. While the WFP Innovation Accelerator ‘wants your boldest ideas to disrupt hunger’ (WFP, 2019), others have discussed leveraging disruptive innovation to combat climate change (Seba, 2014; Tyfield and Jin, 2010; Wilson, 2018), eradicate poverty (Hart and Christensen, 2002; Zhou et al, 2011) and promote inclusive health care (Ramdorai and Herstatt, 2015; Staruch et al, 2018). And though ends may differ—hunger, climate change, poverty, health care—the means are almost always the same: technologies and radical solutions that are seen as disruptive.…”

This article analyses the growing ubiquity of radical technologies and disruptive methodologies in global development. Accelerated by the broad nature of the Sustainable Development Goals, disruption and its related notions of innovation and technology have gradually made it to the centre of attention in development, shaping public and private actors and interventions alike. The article employs a situated analysis of disruption in development to show that as the concept is moving into the field of global development, its meaning and practice is continually—and even contradictorily—reconstructed in constant negotiation with its possible effects. We argue that, beyond a simple buzzword, disruption is employed strategically by different by actors to pursue certain political goals, revealing current movements and lines of discord in the field of global development. While emerging actors use it to challenge the legitimacy of existing donors, more traditional or established actors employ it with a view to remaining relevant in the field, pushing back against the challenge from emerging ones. These interpretative struggles thus are not just isolated ones determining the legitimacy of individual actors but are important for the way they set markers for what development is today, who can legitimately contribute to it and the purposes for which development is pursued.

“…Frugal innovation is one of the concepts, being proposed today in scientific and industrial circles, especially in developing countries and in emerging markets (Tiwari et al, 2016;Radjou and Prabhu, 2015;Ramdorai and Herstatt, 2015). The main idea of this type of innovation is to provide products and services that are appropriate for the specific needs of these markets and provide opportunities for consumption to non-wealthy consumers (Weyrauch and Herstatt, 2017).…”

Purpose This paper aims to propose a framework for the dimensions of frugal innovation enablers in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Design/methodology/approach A mixed research approach has been applied. First, by a comprehensive literature review, the most important factors influencing frugal innovation have been identified. Then, an interview has been conducted with 18 experts who were selected by snowball sampling method. In the next step, all identified variables have been modified in a questionnaire with 48 factors, which were distributed to 200 employees and managers of SMEs in the home appliance manufacturing industry of Isfahan province, who were selected by non-random sampling. Data has been analyzed using SPSS-25 software for exploratory factor analysis. Findings Findings indicated that the most important enablers of frugal innovation are world-class design, human aspect, marketing, support, knowledge, social aspect, prototyping, cultural aspect, environmental aspect, distinct brand creation, core functions focus, local R&D, cost-cutting business model and low-cost production. Practical implications The proposed framework provides an effective basis to managers and decision-makers in the field of frugal innovation to evaluate their capabilities in implementing frugal innovation, the results of which are helpful in developing a roadmap for achieving frugal innovation in SMEs and particularly in home appliance manufacturing companies. Originality/value The comprehensive framework of this study has not been applied, developed or studied in the literature. The proposed framework provides new insights for future studies on the subject of frugal innovation, e.g. investigating the influence of frugal innovation on frugal innovation performance.
