“…These results point out to the fact that there are related constructs which are still less analysed in VS studies, such as the relationship between Voluntary Simplifiers and related consumer groups such as conscious consumers and frugal consumers (Albert, 2019). Pepper et al (2009) state that the research about socially conscious and frugal consumers is an emerging field, particularly in the case of VS.…”

Voluntary simplicity (VS) is a lifestyle focused on seeking a simple life by reducing consumption and other practices. This systematic literature review aims to analyse and critically discuss the state of the art of VS. This review provides a categorization scheme of VS and analyses: the number of studies and year of publication; journals, number of citations and research areas; study location; VS definitions; types of studies; and research methods. By providing a map of existing research, the paper contributes to the clarification of the VS construct and to the assessment, synthesis and identification of research gaps, and opportunities for further research. VS implications for theory, practice and policy are discussed within the context of consumption/ anti-consumption.

“…The report defined sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" [8] (p. 26). This definition has been used by research in the fields of renewable sources [9][10][11][12], mechanical engineering [13,14], agriculture [15], knowledge and innovation management [16][17][18][19][20], the environment [21][22][23], logistics [24], sustainable development [25][26][27][28][29], and innovations in the construction industry [30]. Sustainability is therefore a broad concept that has been used in a wide variety of fields, from human sciences to highly technological fields.…”

The increasing popularity of social media worldwide provides us with an opportunity to understand social, cultural, and environmental issues about people’s perception of sustainability. The article aims at identifying the main topics of communication related to hashtag # sustainability based on a communication analysis on the Twitter network. We investigated the perception of sustainability using data from 414,926 Twitter interactions by 223,476 users worldwide. The data were recorded between April 17, 2018 and July 12, 2019. We identified Innovation, Environment, Climate Change, Corporate Social Responsibility, Technology, and Energy as key hashtags in the field of sustainability. In conjunction with this, we identified the six following communities: (1) Environmental Sustainability, (2) Sustainability Awareness, (3) Renewable Energy and Climate Change, (4) Innovative Technology, (5) Green Architecture, and (6) Food Sustainability. The usage of these communities is applicable in marketing communication as well as in the Corporate Social Responsibility activities of the given companies. The results of the analysis give the organizations a possible direction for their sustainable business model improvement via the contribution of society´s voice.

“…One of the key challenges for cleaner production is providing new products whilst being sparing with resources [1,2]. Frugal innovation, defined as "a resource scarce solution" [3], thus has received a large amount of attention from cleaner production as well as innovation scholars [2,[4][5][6].…”

Innovating with Limited Resources: The Antecedents and Consequences of Frugal Innovation

et al. 2019

Frugal innovation is a resource scarce solution for emerging market firms. Based upon the resource-constrained innovation perspective, this research theoretically explores and empirically examines the drivers and consequences of frugal innovation. The results of a firm-level survey show that two types of frugal innovation (cost innovation and affordable value innovation) positively affect the performance of emerging-market firms. We also address the issues of how emerging-market firms deal with institutional, technological, and market constraints in emerging markets, and we show how these constraints drive frugal innovation. We find that emerging-market firms with higher levels of capability for institutional leverage and bricolage, and firms that face perceived dysfunctional competition, tend to generate more affordable, value-added new products. Overall, these findings have important implications for emerging-market firms seeking to conduct frugal innovation in resource-constrained emerging markets.
