“…Second, MNEs are considered a complex knowledge system and have the tendency to seek local technology when operating in a host country (Cantwell and Mudambi 2011;Sarkar 2011). Local firms have long been recognized as being able to quickly develop tailored products for local customers, whereas MNEs often do not have this flexibility (Wei et al 2008).…”

“…In exaptation, new functions for old forms are observed (Dew and Sarasvathy, 2016) Frugal innovation. Act of excluding non-essential functions that existed in the original product or service and/ or replacing parts with cheaper analogous parts (Sarkar, 2011) to meet the needs of consumers with low buying power in a previously discriminated and neglected market (Zeschky et al, 2011) Improvement. Actions of improvement are intended to make something that already exists better and basically continue doing what it does, only more efficiently, more quickly, at a lower cost, better functions and more accurately, .…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to make available an artifact that helps entrepreneurs and managers to recognize the diversity of creative logics centered on resources that are already available to the organization, presenting it as a tool to support the expansion of the product and service portfolio and as an alternative to Research and Development strategies, which are difficult to implement in the context of small businesses.Design/methodology/approachFollowing the precepts of the Action Design Research (ADR) method, researchers and practitioners (teachers and consultants) collaborated in the development of the artifact. Successive versions of the artifact were tested in the field: in classrooms by the teachers and in small companies by the consultants.FindingsIn addition to the artifact itself, which is available on the Internet, the lessons learned from the design process of the artifact were formalized in meta-requirements and meta-designs, in accordance with the precepts of the design theory that served as the foundation of ADR. These meta-specifications facilitate the critical analysis and evolution of the proposed artifact, in addition to the conception and proposition of new artifacts for the same class of problem.Practical implicationsThe dialogical nature of the ADR approach, with the development of the artifact through interactive cycles between design and use, based on the practitioners' experience of using it with the final beneficiaries, resulted in a functional artifact that is simple to use by those interested in discussing product and service innovation with small organizations. The artifact in the form of software is available to all at https://tentypescreation.com.Originality/valueFrom business examples and comparisons with widespread creative tactics, such as copy and invention, eight other creative tactics centered on resources available in the organization are explored by the artifact, providing means for practitioners to discuss alternative ways for managers, entrepreneurs, and future entrepreneurs to face the challenge of product and service innovation in small businesses.

“…Western MNCs are also facing fierce competition as firms originating from emerging markets or developing countries are increasingly offering affordable products and services with superior value at lower cost [5,28]. The rise of emerging economies as a new hub for innovation is prompting MNCs to learn more from their local counterparts in these countries [46]. Some frugal innovations have made or are about to make their way from lowincome markets to wealthier markets.…”
