Multinationals from emerging markets are increasingly embracing frugal innovation, leveraging local resources and targeting untapped markets. Indian multinationals' practice of "jugaad" serves as an ingenious form of indigenous frugal innovation, enabled and sustained by specific organizational characteristics.
Multinationals from emerging markets are embracing frugal innovation. While resource constraints and business opportunities targeting the underserved have been identified as core reasons for the same, we heed to researchers calls for a fine-grained understanding of the formal and informal institutions that promote frugal innovation. Usingjugaad- an ingenious form of indigenous frugal innovation practiced by Indian multinationals as a study context, we utilize a neo-institutional theoretical lens to explore its antecedents and outcomes while explicating the organizational characteristics that enable and sustainjugaad. Our qualitative study with eight Indian multinationals finds thatjugaadis a response to a complex combination of myriad institutional factors that challenge these multinationals to innovate frugally, enabled by specific organizational characteristics that ultimately lead tojugaadoutcomes. Our findings are presented in a conceptual framework that advances the understanding ofjugaadand extends neo-institutional theory to this context. We also provide some future direction for this contemporary stream of research.
