En la última década, la innovación frugal ha recibido gran atención por parte de los investigadores debido a su potencial para impactar positivamente en la sociedad, promover el uso inteligente de los recursos y facilitar el acceso a productos de buen desempeño y bajo costo. El objetivo de esta revisión de literatura es contribuir a una mayor comprensión del estado actual de la investigación sobre innovación frugal y ofrecer mayor claridad y distinción sobre este concepto. El análisis se apoya en un acoplamiento bibliométrico que señala cuatro redes de autores en los cuales se encuentra agrupada la investigación sobre innovación frugal. Los resultados evidencian que este continúa siendo un tema reciente de investigación y despierta un creciente interés entre los académicos dado su potencial para desarrollarse tanto en economías emergentes como desarrolladas. Adicionalmente, se observa que la literatura correspondiente ha enfatizado el rol que este tipo de innovación puede desempeñar en la superación de los desafíos globales. Por último, es importante señalar que este trabajo está limitado a la revisión de artículos publicados en revistas científicas de las áreas de conocimiento de Business Management and accounting, Engineering, Social Sciences, Economics, Econometrics and Finance, Environmental science, Decision Sciences de Scopus.
In the past decade, frugal innovation has garnered significant attention from researchers due to its potential to positively impact society, promote the intelligent use of resources, and facilitate access to high-performance, low-cost products. The aim of this literature review is to enhance the understanding of the current state of research on frugal innovation and provide greater clarity and distinction regarding this concept. The analysis is supported by bibliometric coupling, which identifies four networks of authors where research on frugal innovation is clustered. The findings reveal that this remains a relatively recent research topic and is generating increasing interest among academics due to its potential for development in both emerging and developed economies. Additionally, the relevant literature has emphasized the role that this type of innovation can play in addressing global challenges. Finally, it is important to note that this work is limited to reviewing articles published in academic journals within the fields of business management and accounting, engineering, social sciences, economics, econometrics and finance, environmental science, decision sciences of Scopus database.
