CMI Management Book of the Year Award 2016 With a Foreword by Paul
Polman, CEO, Unilever. Frugal innovation is a way that companies
can develop high-quality products and create more value with
limited resources. In today's cost-constrained environment,
companies in the developed economies are seeking new routes to
long-term business success - while also appealing to cost-conscious
and environmentally-aware consumers. With an estimated
trillion-dollar global market for sustainable products, and with
potentially huge cost savings to be gained, frugal innovation is
revolutionising business and reshaping management thinking. This
seminal book gives an overview of the principles, perspectives and
techniques behind frugal innovation, connecting with key
contemporary business concepts such as the sharing and circular
economies and the maker movement. It offers a blueprint for leaders
and managers in companies of all sizes and across all sectors on
how to profit from doing business frugally. Based on the authors'
six key principles of frugal innovation, and packed with targeted
advice and recommendations for business functions such as R&D,
operations, HR and sales, Frugal Innovation is a masterclass in the
art of doing more with less.
For a century, the most divisive question in political thought has
been about the size of the state. Should it expand and take an
active role in all sorts of areas of life? Or is that just
meddlesome and wasteful? Those questions might have made sense in
the previous century. Now, with revolutions in technology and
organisational structure, and a world transformed by Covid-19, a
revolution is also coming in the essential business of government -
whether we like it or not. Join organisations expert Jaideep Prabhu
on a tour of what's possible in government. Discover amazing
initiatives in unexpected places, from India's programme to give a
digital identity to a billion citizens, to a Dutch programme that
lets nurses operate almost entirely without management. Or perhaps
China's ominous Social Credit system is a more accurate vision what
the future has in store for us. Whether you are on the political
left or right, it matters whether your government does what it does
fairly and well. And the game is changing...
In this seminal book, Navi Radjou, Jaideep Prabhu, and Simone Ahuja
challenge the very way a traditional organization thinks and acts.
Leading companies such as Facebook, Future Group, GE, Google,
PepsiCo, Philips, Renault-Nissan, Siemens, Suzlon, Tata Group, and
YES BANK, among others, are already practicing jugaad to generate
original ideas and pioneer growth. In the midst of rising global
competition and swelling R&D budgets, Jugaad Innovation
presents ways to innovate, be flexible, and do more with less.
Peppered with examples of innovative entrepreneurs in emerging
markets such as Africa, India, China, and Brazil, Jugaad Innovation
illuminates paths to engender breakthrough growth in a complex and
resource-scarce world.
