Frugal innovation as environmental innovation
by Christian Le Bas
International Journal of Technology Management (IJTM), Vol. 83, No. 1/2/3, 2020

Abstract: In this paper, we contribute to the literature on frugal innovation in two directions. First, we define FI as a new technological paradigm. Second, we consider FI as an environmental innovation by defining, considering, and drawing the consequences of the economic impact of the environmental side of FI. We suggest a framework accounting for how frugal innovation contributes to sustainability. Finally, we set out the factors driving the implementation of FI, and point to barriers to their diffusion.
