This book draws on many years of research by the author involving
collaborative work with various scholars and research institutions. It
enables a different perspective on frugal innovations, as it draws on
streams as varied as business management, sociology, psychology,
philosophy, culture and engineering. This is missing in publications on
frugal innovations so far. It is based on a mixed, multi-methods
research approach (literature review, bibliometrics, expert interview,
focus groups, case studies and conceptual work) in a multi-national
context, providing rich insights.
