Frugal Innovation and its Implementation: Leveraging Constraints for Driving Innovations on a Global Scale

Call for Book Chapters 
Over the past decade, Frugal Innovations have garnered the attention of management scholars and practitioners due to their high economic potential and rapidly growing adoption in business. With its roots in emerging economies, Frugal Innovation as a concept has come a long way from focusing on subsistence marketplaces to being applied to address global challenges such as changing demographics and climate change. Specifically, in light of the ongoing digital revolution and arrival of new business models such as sharing and circular economy, Frugal Innovations are being explored on a global scale from various new perspectives. The focus is drifting away from merely being 'cost' and 'BoP' driven innovations to being 'green' and 'sustainable' innovations. However, unlike this shift, a large part of current research on Frugal Innovation is still oriented towards BoP markets and low-cost strategies. Marking the start of a new wave of Frugal Innovation research, this book comes at an appropriate time to encourage academicians to explore the concept of Frugal Innovation from new perspectives and set future research agenda.

Climate change: The ethical challenges

 
With this special report, the Courier aims to open up new avenues for reflection on these lesser-known aspects of the greatest global challenge of our times. Because, in parallel to the scientific issues that hit the media headlines, the issues of justice and equity, respect for human rights, solidarity and scientific and political integrity, and individual and collective responsibility, must be the principal cornerstones of our actions on a global scale.
