Abstract

Designing frugal innovations is crucial to alleviate problems faced by people living in low-resource settings. Many design studies have been undertaken in such low-resource settings. These studies are discussed using a variety of names like ‘frugal innovations’, ‘appropriate technology’, ‘design for the Base of the Pyramid (BOP)’, ‘product service systems for BOP’, ‘community development engineering’, ‘design for development’, etc. There is an important need to know in what context these studies were undertaken. In order to gain an in-depth understanding of the contextual aspects of these studies, we review a wide range of literature, focussing on design studies in this field. The review findings show a multifaceted picture, revealing a large variety in examination and presentation of contextual aspects such as income, design sectors, countries, rural–urban, and gender. Based on the review findings, we offer recommendation for practice, education, and research of designing frugal innovations in low-resource settings.
