This book looks at how multinational enterprises address
sustainability within their business activities. Contextualized
within a rapidly developing country in Asia, it explores how
management practices, tools and techniques are implemented by
foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in the
Philippines. The book introduces a useful three-stage and six-step
sustainability assessment framework for company practices. The
three stages are framed around impact identification, impact
assessment and impact monitoring, with the six steps associated
with these stages, including the initiation step, scoping, impact
analysis, alternative selection, monitoring and evaluation, and
feedback and follow-up. The book also highlights how voluntary
guidelines and global sustainability platforms play an instrumental
role in directing the practices of organisations when implementing
corporate sustainability.
This book explores the new product development process of firms
developing frugal innovation for the base-of-the-pyramid (BOP)
markets in developing countries. Frugal innovations are products
characterised by an affordable price-point, durability, usability
and core functionalities that are highly adapted to BOP consumers'
needs. Frugal products have the potential to drive the development
progress and living standards of low-income consumers. With an
innovation framework developed from worldwide frugal case studies,
this book provides detailed insights through two in-depth start-up
firms in Indonesia that have successfully launched frugal products
for the low-income market. These two start-ups have addressed two
major development challenges for not just Indonesia, but also the
global BOP market - traditional methods of cooking and access to
clean drinking water. A detailed roadmap is developed from insights
into the processes and management decisions of these two start-ups
and combined with previous studies on frugal products. Providing a
detailed roadmap across the different phases and stages of the new
product development process when developing frugal products, this
book will be insightful to not only innovators but also investors
and government agencies supporting their activities.

Sustainable development is an internationally recognised objective
for governments, businesses and societies. However, how the private
sector engages with sustainability in a systematic way through
their business activities remains unclear. This book evaluates the
sustainability practices of the private sector by utilising a
sustainability assessment framework - a method for integrating
different strands of impact assessment, to better inform decision
making for the promotion of sustainable economic development.
Through a sample of leading multinational enterprises (MNEs) in
Thailand, this book provides evidence on the types of
sustainability approaches being utilised by the private sector,
shedding light on the important relationship between FDI and
sustainable development. It also clarifies the role of FDI in
sustainable development, and the methods, tools, and techniques
that enable the private sector to engage with sustainability and
sustainable development. The book will generate significant
interest from sustainability practitioners in both the public and
private sector.
