| الوصف: | International audience ; Ecodesign strategies allow for addressing the economic and environmental impacts of a product. However, at the bottom of the pyramid, design considerations need to include the social sphere for a systemic approach to sustainability. Social entrepreneurs and small enterprises in emerging markets are setting new precedents for innovation. In environments where resources are scarce, they have developed innovative and affordable solutions focused on improving the quality of life of BoP communities. Known as frugal innovation, this approach has the potential to drive sustainable development. It involves using resources wisely to reduce costs without sacrificing value. Research on frugal innovation has made it possible to understand its origins, design criteria lists, and attributes. However, there is still a lack of understanding of the strategies implemented by local entrepreneurs in the BoP. The aim is to highlight the frugal innovation strategies implemented by local innovators under conditions of limited resources. Applying the case study methodology, an exploratory analysis of the development of a water access system in Mexico was carried out. Water scarcity is a major and urgent problem worldwide, particularly in marginalized areas. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and a thematic analysis was carried out. We identified three main strategies: frugality, resource sharing, and integration of the human aspect of innovation. These frugal innovation strategies have the potential to enrich traditional Ecodesign practices. The results can serve as support and a set of tactics for entrepreneurs and academics interested in developing frugal innovation projects for BoP communities. |
