But in these tough times, we can't rely on the old formula that has sustained innovation efforts for decades--expensive R&D projects and highly-structured innovation processes. Jugaad Innovation argues the West must look to places like India, Brazil, and China for a new approach to frugal and flexible innovation. The authors show how in these emerging markets, jugaad (a Hindi word meaning an improvised solution born from ingenuity and cleverness) is leading to dramatic growth and how Western companies can adopt jugaad innovation to succeed in our hypercompetitive world.

"-- Book Synopsis "Jugaad Innovation is the most comprehensive book yet to appear on the subject [of frugal innovation]." --The Economist A frugal and flexible approach to innovation for the 21st century Innovation is a key directive at companies worldwide. But in these tough times, we can't rely on the old formula that has sustained innovation efforts for decades--expensive R&D projects and highly-structured innovation processes. Jugaad Innovation argues the West must look to places like India, Brazil, and China for a new approach to frugal and flexible innovation.

From the Back Cover Innovation is a major directive at corporations worldwide. But how do you drive innovation and growth as the global business landscape becomes increasingly unpredictable and diverse? Western corporations can no longer just rely on the old formula that sustained innovation and growth for decades: a mix of top-down strategies, expensive R&D projects, and rigid, highly structured innovation processes. Jugaad Innovation argues that the West must look to places like India, China, and Africa for a new, bottom-up approach to frugal and flexible innovation. Building on their deep experience of innovation practices with companies in the United States and around the world, the authors articulate how jugaad (a Hindi word meaning an improvised solution born from ingenuity and cleverness) is leading to dramatic growth in emerging markets--and how Western companies can adopt jugaad to succeed in our hypercompetitive world. Delving into the mindset of jugaad innovators, the authors discuss the six underlying principles of jugaad innovation: Seek opportunity in adversity Do more with less Think and act flexibly Keep it simple Include the margin Follow your heart To show these principles in action, the authors share previously untold stories of resourceful jugaad entrepreneurs and innovations in emerging markets. The authors also describe how forward-thinking Western firms like 3M, Apple, Renault-Nissan, Facebook, GE, Google, IBM, and PepsiCo are already applying these principles of jugaad to innovate faster, cheaper, and better--and to win. A groundbreaking book, Jugaad Innovation shows leaders everywhere why the time is right for jugaad to emerge as a powerful business tool in the West--and how to bring the jugaad mindset and practices to their organizations. Review Quotes "Jugaad Innovation goes farther than conventional business books that chart consumer growth in Brazil, Russia, India, and China. It explains how emerging economies are pioneering the art of 'frugal engineering, ' then provides practical tips on how Western companies--from tech startups to multinational industrial corporations--can likewise do more with less. A provocative and entertaining read for 21st century business leaders." --Carlos Ghosn, CEO, Renault-Nissan "The authors have it right: highly structured innovation processes can't deliver all the breakthroughs required by today's 'speed of business.' What's called for are new practices that work with--not against--the forces that drive our hypercompetitive world. Jugaad Innovation lays out the new principles that you--and every forward-thinking leader in your company--need right now." --Charlene Li, founder, Altimeter Group; bestselling author, Open Leadership "Businesses must move away from the top-down organizational hierarchies that have defined the past and transform themselves into social enterprises built on bottom-up, agile models based on collaboration. Jugaad Innovation shows how you can enable your entire ecosystem--employees, customers, and partners--to make significant contributions and drive hypergrowth. An important book for anyone who wants to compete in the future." --Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO, salesforce.com; bestselling author, Behind the Cloud "CEOs tend to manage innovation like an orchestra conductor--with a traditional, hierarchical, and prescriptive approach. Jugaad Innovation shows how to innovate like a jazz band--with improvisation, creativity, and agility. Both styles are necessary on today's global stage." --Doreen Lorenzo, president, frog "We are entering an age when humanity's grand challenges are being solved by a new generation of 'do-it-yourself' innovators employing jugaad-style thinking. Today the entrepreneurial spirit of your very own employees, customers, and partners--empowered by new technologies--can literally change the world. X PRIZE has proven the value of jugaad by leveraging this bottom-up approach of 'better, faster, cheaper' to the point of sending a man into space for a fraction of what NASA spends. This compelling new book, Jugaad Innovation, articulates how you can start to accomplish amazing things on a shoestring. It is a vital read." --Peter H. Diamandis, founder and chairman, X PRIZE Foundation "Jugaad Innovation throws cold water in the faces of CEOs, reminding them of the immense power of grassroots, do-it-yourself, cheap, quick, simple innovation. This is one of the most important lessons that emerging markets are teaching the West." --George F. Colony, CEO, Forrester Research "I've long argued that the role of business is to make the world a better place. In the new economy, this requires true innovation--bold ideas, gutsy people, and extraordinary actions. Need a new roadmap? Fresh inspiration? Accessible tools? It's all in this remarkable book, Jugaad Innovation. Get a copy for yourself and every member of your team today." --Kevin Roberts, CEO worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi; bestselling author, LoveMarks About the Author Navi Radjou is an independent innovation and leadership consultant based in Palo Alto, California, and a fellow at Judge Business School, University of Cambridge.

If there’s one era in human history that people could take so many lessons from, especially when it comes to frugality, it would probably be the Great Depression. The Great Depression took place late 1929 to early 1933. It started with a crash in the stock market and was followed by massive unemployment in the

As individuals fed up with consumerism, we may be tempted by a more frugal way of living, a path to happiness advocated by Epicurus. Applied to the corporate world, however, frugality sounds more…
In light of growing discourse on 'frugal innovation', this book offers novel approaches to innovation based on extensive empirical research. The study complements a decade of scholarly attention on frugal innovation by taking a research-based approach to innovation in resource-scarce and complex institutional contexts. The findings suggest that concepts such as frugal, reverse, jugaad, social, grassroots and inclusive innovation in fact represent heterogeneous assemblies of innovation for social, environmental and economic value. The conceptual framework invites attention to more plural sources and elements in the study of models of innovation to inspire further research in the fields of strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, economic sociology and development studies. The design framework offers models, metrics and competencies for practitioners and policymakers to identify, evaluate and design frugal innovations. The comprehensive view of frugal innovation demonstrates how firms can implement globally competitive strategies by pursuing innovation for humanity to improve lives for everyone, everywhere.
In the TED talk entitled "creative problem-solving in the face of extreme limits" Navi Radjou defined frugal innovation as "the ability to create more economic and social value using fewer resources. Frugal innovation is not about making do; it's about making things better." Indian people call it Jugaad, a Hindi word that means finding inexpensive solutions based on...
