New models of inclusive innovation for development (2014, background): “These are some of the component parts of a growth in practices that have been given the label ‘inclusive innovation’ but which have also been given other labels including ‘pro-poor innovation’, ‘below-the-radar innovation’, ‘grassroots innovation’, ‘BoP (base-of-the pyramid) innovation’, and more (K”
What are the Implications for Global Value Chains When the Market Shifts from the North to the South (2010, background): “The Q stood for standards over quality (increasingly measured in parts per million), the C for cost (annual reductions in price paid to suppliers) and D for delivery (more frequent deliveries in smaller batches) (Kaplinsky, 2010a).”
Inclusive Innovation: Definition, Conceptualisation and Future Research Priorities (2013, unknown): “…the concept of appropriate technology, there have been alternative models of innovation, which seek to develop and deliver innovative technologies (goods and services) incorporating the needs and interests of the poor; and which seek to stimulate growth for those on lowest incomes (Kaplinsky 2011).”
Inclusive innovation: an architecture for policy development (2014, background): “Until the mid-1990s, the primary inclusive innovation actors were notfor-profit NGOs and community-based organizations working outside of the market, driven by what might be termed a Schumacherian motor (Kaplinsky 2011).”
Deep transitions: Emergence, acceleration, stabilization and directionality (2018, unknown): “For example, the combination of mass production, mass consumption and resourceintensity was heavily contested during its emergence (Sabel and Zeitlin, 1985; Hounshell, 1985); at no point in time did it dominate all sociotechnical systems, even in the USA as a prime example of Fordism (Jessop, 1992; ”
Three frames for innovation policy: R&D, systems of innovation and transformative change (2018, background): “It also contributes directly to inequality because current innovation trajectories favour high tech solutions which assume high quality and pervasive infrastructure, and produces mass-produced products aimed mainly for consumers with substantial purchasing power (Kaplinsky, 2011).”
Upscaling of business model experiments in off-grid PV solar energy in India (2012, unknown): “However, recently, a number of claims have been made in the literature that the prospects of alternative development pathways in emerging economies in Asia are also becoming more likely, and that these economies might even leapfrog Western initiatives (Berkhout et al. 2009, 2010; Hultman et al. 2011”
Crafting Sustainable Development Solutions: Frugal Innovations of Grassroots Entrepreneurs (2016, background): “This literature intersects with management, organization, entrepreneurship and development studies, forging new terminology such as “frugal innovation” [18], “reverse innovation” [19], “Jugaad innovation” [20], “BOP innovation” [21,22], “Gandhian innovation” [23], “empathetic innovation” [24,25], “l”
Twenty challenges to innovation studies (2015, background): “…from officials in countries such as Vietnam and Argentina revealed a huge amount of innovative activity was going on 'below the radar' (Kaplinsky, 2011, p.194) – for instance, incremental process innovations in factories of the BRICS and other developing economies, innovations that do…”
