Abstract

Frugal innovators creatively apply existing technologies to address local challenges, effectively reducing costs and optimizing performance. This approach is crucial in developing countries, providing cost-effective solutions to resource scarcity, especially for people experiencing poverty. However, research on the frugal innovation process, especially these innovators' motivations and the stakeholders' roles, remains limited. This article examines the frugal innovation process with a focus on two main aspects: (1) the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations of Thai frugal innovators across the stages of idea generation, experimentation, and application, and (2) the roles played by stakeholders in these processes. Four cases of frugal innovation awarded by Ch. Karnchang Public Company are analyzed and categorized into three groups: non-commercial frugal innovation, commercialized frugal innovation as the primary income source, and commercialized frugal innovation as the supplementing income. Interviews with innovators reveal that motivations vary by commercial purposes and innovation stages. Intrinsic motivation is stronger during experimentation and application stages for non-commercial frugal innovation. In contrast, extrinsic motivation dominates in commercialized innovations. Additionally, stakeholder collaboration in fostering frugal innovation in Thailand is limited. These insights on motivations and stakeholder roles expand understanding of frugal innovation models.

节俭创新的诱因、动机、实验、推广和利益相关者 我们从泰国案例研究中学到什么
节俭创新者创造性地应用现有技术来应对当地的挑战,有效降低成本,优化性能。这种方法在发展中国家至关重要,它为资源匮乏问题提供了具有成本效益的解决方案,尤其是对贫困人口而言。然而,对节俭创新过程的研究,尤其是对这些创新者的动机和利益相关者的作用的研究仍然有限。本文主要从两个方面考察节俭创新过程:(1) 泰国节俭创新者在创意产生、实验和应用阶段的内在和外在动机;(2) 利益相关者在这些过程中扮演的角色。我们分析了由 Ch. Karnchang 公共公司授予的四个节俭创新案例,并将其分为三类:非商业性节俭创新、作为主要收入来源的商业化节俭创新和作为补充收入的商业化节俭创新。对创新者的访谈显示,不同商业目的和创新阶段的动机各不相同。在非商业性节俭创新的实验和应用阶段,内在动机更强。相比之下,外在动机在商业化创新中占主导地位。此外,在泰国,利益相关者在促进节俭创新方面的合作也很有限。这些关于动机和利益相关者角色的见解拓展了人们对节俭创新模式的理解。
