Resumo: | Frugal innovation has recently become a relevant topic in social and academic discourse. The real challenge for this new manifestation of innovation is the introduction of something new or different with the use of few resources. Frugal innovations have generally been associated with emerging economies where large consumer groups are at the bottom of the pyramid with unmet needs. However, there is growing evidence that this phenomenon is also becoming relevant in industrialized nations, potentially affecting the long-term competitiveness of domestic enterprises, not only abroad but also locally. Consequently, frugal innovation scholars have begun to investigate attempts to systematize this emerging field of research and promote the development of this debate. This theoretical study presents the origin and evolution of the frugal innovation approach and its current characterization in the literature; discusses future perspectives on the topic; and suggests that future works invest in empirical research, enriching existing debates on frugal innovation, especially from the lens of local economic development, through financial results and economic returns. It also reinforces the need to develop frugal innovation measurement instruments. |

El verdadero desafío para esta nueva manifestación de innovación es la introducción de algo nuevo o diferente con el uso de pocos recursos. Las innovaciones frugales generalmente se han asociado con economías emergentes donde grandes grupos de consumidores se encuentran en la parte inferior de la pirámide con necesidades no satisfechas. Sin embargo, hay cada vez más pruebas de que este fenómeno también se está volviendo relevante en los países industrializados, lo que podría afectar la competitividad a largo plazo de las empresas nacionales, no solo en el extranjero sino también a nivel local. Como consecuencia, los estudiosos de la innovación frugal han comenzado a investigar los intentos de sistematizar este campo de investigación emergente y promover el desarrollo de este debate. De este modo, este ensayo teórico pretende: presentar el origen y la evolución del enfoque de la innovación frugal y su caracterización actual en la literatura; luego discutir las perspectivas de estudio futuras sobre el tema. Finalmente, se sugiere que los estudios futuros inviertan en investigación empírica para enriquecer los debates existentes sobre innovación frugal, especialmente desde la perspectiva del desarrollo económico local, a través de resultados financieros y retornos económicos. También se refuerza la necesidad de desarrollar instrumentos de medición de innovación frugal.A inovação frugal tornou-se recentemente um tópico relevante no discurso social e acadêmico. O verdadeiro desafio para essa nova manifestação de inovação caracteriza-se pela introdução de algo novo ou diferente com uso de poucos recursos. As inovações frugais têm ocorrido, em geral, associadas a economias emergentes nas quais se encontram grandes grupos de consumidores na base da pirâmide com necessidades não atendidas. Todavia há evidências crescentes de que este fenômeno está se tornando relevante também nas nações industrializadas, potencialmente afetando a competitividade das empresas domésticas em longo prazo, não apenas no exterior, mas também localmente. Como consequência, os estudiosos da inovação frugal começaram a investigar tentativas de sistematizar esse campo emergente de pesquisa e promover o desenvolvimento desse debate. Desse modo, este ensaio teórico tem por objetivos: apresentar a origem e evolução da abordagem da inovação frugal e sua caracterização atual na literatura; em seguida, discutir perspectivas futuras de estudo no tema; por fim, sugere-se que estudos futuros invistam em pesquisas empíricas, enriquecendo os debates existentes sobre a inovação frugal, principalmente da lente do desenvolvimento econômico local, por meio de resultados financeiros e retornos econômicos. Reforça-se também a necessidade de desenvolvimento de instrumentos de mensuração de inovação frugal.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2019-07-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/74424Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 17 No. 4 (2019) - Innovation in Emerging Economy Organizations; 1079-1093Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 17 Núm. 4 (2019) - Innovación en organizaciones de economía emergentes; 1079-1093Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 17 n. 4 (2019) - Inovação em Organizações de Economias Emergentes; 1079-10931679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/74424/76327https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/74424/76337Copyright (c) 2019 Cadernos EBAPE.BRinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessKoerich, Graziele VenturaCancellier, Éverton Luís Pellizzaro de Lorenzi2023-02-23T19:17:37Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/74424Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:08.996560Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |

Frugal innovation has recently become a relevant topic in social and academic discourse. The real challenge for this new manifestation of innovation is the introduction of something new or different with the use of few resources. Frugal innovations have generally been associated with emerging economies where large consumer groups are at the bottom of the pyramid with unmet needs. However, there is growing evidence that this phenomenon is also becoming relevant in industrialized nations, potentially affecting the long-term competitiveness of domestic enterprises, not only abroad but also locally. Consequently, frugal innovation scholars have begun to investigate attempts to systematize this emerging field of research and promote the development of this debate. This theoretical study presents the origin and evolution of the frugal innovation approach and its current characterization in the literature; discusses future perspectives on the topic; and suggests that future works invest in empirical research, enriching existing debates on frugal innovation, especially from the lens of local economic development, through financial results and economic returns.
