Book Summary
Frugal Innovation: How to Do More With Less, co‑authored by Navi Radjou and Jaideep Prabhu, explores how organizations can deliver high-quality, affordable, and sustainable products and services in today's resource‑constrained world. The book introduces the concept of frugal innovation—a mindset that transforms limitations into creative opportunities by focusing on simplicity and value rather than complexity or premium features. It shares six guiding principles: engaging and iterating with customers, leveraging flexibility in existing assets, designing sustainable solutions, influencing customer behavior, co‑creating with prosumers, and forming collaborative networks (“making innovative friends”) Filled with over fifty real‑world case studies—from sectors such as healthcare, finance, retail, manufacturing, and education—the authors illustrate how firms like M&S (“Plan A”) and global brands have implemented these strategies to enhance cost efficiency, innovation speed, and sustainable growth .
