Innovation frugale, effectuation et Fablabs  : des pratiques à croiser pour penser l’innovation différemment

Abstract

Dans cet article, nous explorons l’articulation entre deux démarches : l’innovation frugale et l’effectuation. Nous soulignons les points de convergence qui existent, comme leur gestion des ressources, leur rapport à l’incertitude et leur inscription dans un écosystème. Nous proposons de considérer combien les contextes des pays en voie de développement ou pays émergents, peuvent rendre la combinaison des deux approches fructueuse. Pour illustrer cette idée, nous nous appuyons sur les pratiques des makers au sein des FabLabs , qui parviennent à favoriser l’ empowerment et l’innovation multidirectionnelle dans des environnements contraints.

Linking Entrepreneurial Innovation to Effectual Logic

“…Regarding frugal innovation and as mentioned in Table 4, we can list a single article that links entrepreneurial innovation to effectuation. This paper was developed by Fagbohoun [28]. The author dealt with fablab case studies to investigate new approaches to practice innovation in an effectual context.…”

“…Frugal innovation attracts significant interest in the field of innovation [26]. The concept of frugal innovation encompasses two notions [27]: It is at the same time a means to innovate with limited means, and an objective to create simple and robust products destined (originally) to the emerging countries [28]. In what follows, the intention of the possible interconnection between effectuation and frugal innovation is focused on.…”

Urban Commons: Reestablishing Social Ties in African Cities

“…Fab labs in Sub-Saharan Africa have digital and technological equipment that uses open-source software, mainly small tools and simple computers and printers. Open-source software and material such as Scratch and Arduino are often provided (Fagbohoun 2016) (box 4.4). More consequential equipment, such as 3D printers, depends on financing being available.…”

Sustainable innovation and frugal innovation: Exploring the relationships between Innovation and sustainability

“…As a consequence, the need for public policy could appear to be less necessary. Frugal innovation (thereafter simply FI), the other kind of innovation at the core of this paper, is a prominent form of innovation very recently discussed in the literature dealing with innovation in relation to economic development (Basu et al, 2003;Brem and Ivens, 2013;Radjou et al, 2013;Fagbohoun, 2016;Haudeville and Le Bas, 2016b;Haudeville and Wolff, 2016;Le Bas, 2016a, Tiwari et al, 2017aand 2017b. FI and SI have several implications for firm strategy and innovation management (Brem and Wolfram, 2014) in developed and less developed countries, in terms of economic growth for firms (Nunes and Breene, 2011;Zeschky, Winterhalter, Gassmann, 2014), and for economies in the North Developed World (Maric et al, 2016;Micaëlli, 2016;.…”
