Frugal innovation: aligning theory, practice, and public policy (2014, background): “This apart, the works has not been rigorous in explicating the underlying principles of frugal innovation, and hence the phenomenon lack predictability (Bhatti, 2012; George et al., 2012).”
Implications of Frugal Innovations on Sustainable Development: Evaluating Water and Energy Innovations (2015, background): “In previous literature, resource scarcity has traditionally been seen as a constraint for innovation activities, and responses to these scarcities have been conceptualized through such terms as bricolage and improvisation [15,16].”
How Hybrid Organizations Turn Antagonistic Assets into Complementarities (2015, background): “This approach is often referred to as frugal innovation, a process of reducing the complexity of a good by removing all nonessential features.(30) How Hybrid Organizations Turn Antagonistic Assets into Complementarities”
