Abstract:
Current frugal design practice is focused on the cost reduction of the product. Despite advancements in the domain of frugal Innovation, it is not systematized to develop products for all sets of users, including marginalized society. Many design researchers and engineers now dedicate time and knowledge to producing practical solutions to enhance the quality of life of the marginal community. The approach currently being adopted restricts the development of products intended for all segments of the users. In this paper, cumulative frequency distribution analysis and the Relative Importance Index is used to identify the essential attributes, which contribute to delivering actual frugal products in terms of functionality, usability, performance, affordability, accessibility, aesthetics, and robustness. The framework is beneficial to eradicate the discriminatory effect of being labeled as “Jugaad” users.

Abstract:
The need to reduce consumption is evident, and a way of achieving this is through austerity and frugal practices. The aim of this research was to advance the understanding of frugal behavior and its relation to consumer identities, and to analyze any possible mediating effects of environmental self-identity. In Study 1 (n = 492), the factor structure of the consumer identities scale was tested and three distinct identities were defined: moral, wasteful, and thrifty consumer identities. In Study 2 (n = 500), the influence of consumer identities on frugal behavior was studied and the possible mediating effect of environmental self-identity was analyzed. Environmental self-identity completely mediated the relationship between moral identity and frugal behavior and partially mediated the relationships of both wasteful and thrifty identities with frugal behavior. The model was able to predict 27.6% of the variance of environmental self-identity and 47.9% of the variance of frugal behavior, with a strong influence by the thrifty consumer identity. This emphasizes the economic dimension of frugal consumption patterns and the importance of considering how people view themselves, both as individuals and as consumers, in order to more effectively engage and maintain long-term sustainable frugal actions.

Abstract:
The Objective of the study: To identify incubator managers' understanding and perspectives on the phenomenon of frugal innovation in these institutions.Methodology/approach: This is a qualitative research of exploratory nature, with data collection carried out through semi-structured interviews. The interview transcripts were analyzed using categorization and Similarity Analysis using the Iramuteq software.Originality/Relevance: Given the importance of frugal innovation and its impact on product and service development, it is worth studying this phenomenon in environments that naturally disseminate innovation, since there are still questions to be explored.Main results: The results demonstrate that the term frugal is not used in the day-to-day incubators, however, it was verified the existence of the practice of frugal innovation in these environments. It is concluded that there is a prevalence of a positive view of managers about this type of innovation and that the practice of frugal innovation in the development of products and services is considered a competitive advantage for the incubated ventures.Theoretical and methodological contributions: Contributes to a future research agenda with the themes: of frugal innovation practices; Mobilizing frugal innovation by the lack of resources and; Frugal innovation through apps in technology incubators.Contributions to management: This research allows incubator managers to understand the aspects involving the theme so that they can develop strategic actions for their incubators using frugal innovation.

"POST-PANDEMIC INNOVATION PRACTICES IN MICRO, SMALL, AND MEDIUM-SIZED FIRMS IN THE STATE OF GUANAJUATO." Modern Management Review 28, no. 4 (December 31, 2023): 33–41. http://dx.doi.org/10.7862/rz.2023.mmr.23.
Abstract:
The pandemic caused by the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has compelled many companies to prioritize innovation strategies in order to survive. Consequently, this cross-sectional empirical study employed a quantitative approach to assess the level of innovation achieved through frugal innovation practices by micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the post-pandemic era in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. A survey-type questionnaire was randomly administered to a sample of 58 companies. Stepwise discriminant analysis, utilizing Wilks' Lambda method, was applied to analyze the data. The results demonstrate that, during the crisis, the most influential variables in explaining the level of innovation are the significant reduction in the price of products or services and their durability, both regarded as frugal innovation practices. Consequently, decision-makers should establish frugal ecosystems that enable cost reduction while emphasizing the functionality and performance of their products or services.

Abstract:
Purpose The paper aims to introduce the issue of supply chain management in the context of increasingly rare and costly resources and to define the notion of frugal supply chain, in particular, in reference to the development of circular economy. The challenges of frugal supply chain are detailed for a set of private and public stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach As a programmatic viewpoint, this paper aims at developing debates regarding the future of supply chains, building upon current technical and managerial innovations. Findings Frugal supply chains constitute a new business perspective. It transforms the way value creation process is considered, in reference to the models of circular economy, and the systems in which companies evolve. The circular economy represents many opportunities for new forms of growth in the context of rare resources, and it raises several challenges for a variety of stakeholders, more or less, involved in the management of closed loop supply chains. Practical implications Frugal strategies in a supply chain context may provide both a source of competitive advantage for companies and an enhancement of their commitment to society. Social implications The practices described in the paper aim at stimulating a new view of logistics management, based on the principles of sustainable development. Frugal supply chains offer the possibility of reflecting on a more moderate, sensible and effective use of several commons by taking part in the conservation of rare resources for future generations. Originality/value This viewpoint introduces the concept of frugal supply chains, rarely approached in the literature, and it offers the opportunity to open debates on managerial and societal challenges linked to logistics strategies and, more broadly, to inter-organizational relations.

Abstract:
This study aims to examine the direct effect of innovation capability on value creation. The mediating role of frugal innovation and the moderating role of knowledge sharing are also explored between innovation capability and value creation link. This exploratory study uses quantitative and cross-sectional data collected through questionnaires. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to examine the hypothesis. Findings show a significant positive impact of innovation capability on value creation. Results proved that frugal innovation mediates the relations between innovation capability and value creation. Knowledge sharing strengthens the association between innovation capability and value creation in their association. Our research provides a framework for the sustainable advancement of SMEs in a circular economy and recommends that they increase the value creation of the products/services through frugal innovation based on the innovation capabilities. Moreover, knowledge-sharing practices speed up the interplay between innovation capability and value creation in the circular economy.

Lecomte, Chloé. "Ingénierie frugale pour les bases de la Pyramide : concevoir des produits ouverts pour des contextes multiples." Thesis, Grenoble, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014GRENI064/document.
Abstract:
La globalisation des marchés, la croissance rapide des pays émergents, le défi de la conception durable des produits et services et les besoins des population à bas revenu sont autant d'enjeux qui incitent les entreprises à chercher de nouvelles formes d'organisation et d'innovation y pour répondre. La théorie de la Base de la Pyramide (BoP) s'inscrit dans ce contexte actuel et propose de contribuer à la lutte contre la pauvreté tout en suivant une logique économique. Bien qu'elle soit relativement récente, la littérature sur cette thématique est multiple et s'inscrit aujourd'hui principalement en sciences de gestion et sciences économiques. Les apports dans le domaine de l'ingénierie sont encore assez peu nombreux et de multiples interrogations restent en suspens sur la faisabilité et l'opérationnalité d'une telle approche. L'objectif de ce travail de recherche est de comprendre en quoi les dynamiques d'innovation orientées Base de la Pyramide demandent de repenser les pratiques de conception actuelles, plus particulièrement l'ingénierie frugale. Ce procédé de conception, qui intègre des économies d'usage et de dépense, est exploré comme moyen de concevoir des produits et des services dans le double enjeu de lutte contre la pauvreté et de rentabilité économique. Nos contributions se situent sur deux axes. Le premier s'appuie sur une étude de 215 cas d'innovation BoP relatés dans la littérature pour proposer une catégorisation des stratégies appelées BoP. Cette catégorisation donne lieu à une lecture à multi-niveaux et permet de dégager des constats importants : la difficulté de combiner impact social et impact économique dans une même approche, la dichotomie marquée entre les stratégies de marché et les stratégies inclusives, ainsi que l'existence de multiples contextes BoP qui rend compte d'une tension entre l'assouvissement des besoins (impact local) et la recherche d'un changement d'échelle (impact global). Le deuxième axe de contribution porte sur la conception frugale, prise comme une approche possible orientée Base de la Pyramide. Nous définissons l'ingénierie frugale par la recherche du juste-suffisant entre la proposition d'une valeur essentielle et la recherche d'un bas coût. La proposition de nouveaux concepts, tels que les « Non Trade Off » (éléments non négociables) du processus de conception et l' « Adaptabilité » d'un produit, nous amène à interroger l'unicité de ce juste-suffisant. La valeur essentielle n'est pas un concept absolu et unique, mais se décline en une multitude de valeurs (re)définies par l'appropriation du produit lors de la conception, la fabrication et l'usage. Cette appropriation passe par des stratégies de focalisation sur des fonctionnalités essentielles, de façon à pouvoir répondre à un environnement pauvre en ressources et en infrastructures, réduire les coûts de production et d'assemblage et répondre à un besoin essentiel. La conception frugale s'inscrit alors dans une logique inclusive, où chaque partie prenante de la chaîne de valeur contribue à redéfinir le juste-suffisant d'un produit frugal en fonction du contexte. Ces résultats, issus de terrains empiriques en Inde et au Vietnam, permettent d'insister sur la prise en compte d'éléments de l'environnement contextuel dans la conception. Nous proposons de représenter ces éléments sous forme de Scènes, pour compléter les outils centrés-utilisateurs existants, et contextualiser la réflexion sur la valeur essentielle du produit. Pour conclure, de ces résultats émergent les prémisses d'un modèle ouvert de la conception frugale qui laisserait d'avantage de flexibilité aux populations de la Base de la Pyramide à s'approprier la valeur essentielle du produit conçu. Concevoir des produits ouverts, adaptables à la variabilité des contextes, permet ainsi d'œuvrer pour un développement plus durableGlobalization of markets, rapid growth of emerging countries, challenges of a sustainable design and needs of low-income populations trigger companies to look for new forms of organization and innovation. The Base of the Pyramid (BoP) theory takes root on these challenges and suggests fighting against poverty while generating economic growth. Although recent, the literature on this topic is diverse and today falls mainly in management and economic sciences. The contributions in the field of engineering design are quite few, and many questions remain on the feasibility and operability of such an approach. The goal of this research is to understand how the dynamics of the BoP-oriented innovation may require rethinking current design practices. We will particularly explore frugal engineering, a design process that enrolls economy of use and expense, as a means to design products and services within the dual challenge of fighting against poverty and economic growth. Our contributions take place in two areas. The first one is based on a review of 215 BoP case-studies related in the literature: the outcome is a categorization of the BoP-called strategies. This categorization allows a multilevel reading that generates significant findings: the difficulty of combining social and economic impacts within the same approach, the dichotomy between market and inclusive strategies, as well as the existence of multiple BoP contexts which reflects a tension between needs' satisfaction (local impact) and economy of scale (global impact). The second area of contribution is about frugal design, taken as one possible BoP-oriented approach. We define frugal engineering as the search for a just-enough between a core value and a low-cost proposition. Our proposition of new concepts, such as the “Non Trade Off” during the design process and the “Adaptability” of the product, leads us to question the uniqueness of this just-enough. The core value is not an absolute concept; rather it comes in multiple values (re)defined during design, manufacturing and use phases of the product life cycle. This appropriation is made by focusing on key features of the product, in order to meet the environment, resource and infrastructure constrained, to reduce production and assembly costs, and to meet an essential need. Therefore, frugal design is incorporated in an inclusive logic, in which each stakeholder of the value chain contributes to redefine the just-enough of the product (and process). These results, obtained by empirical studies in India and Vietnam, emphasize the importance of contextual elements to take into account during frugal design. We propose the Scenes as a new tool for representing these elements. The Scenes complement the existing user-centered design tools, and help to contextualize the discussion on the core values of a frugal product. To conclude, the premises of an open frugal design emerge from this research. Such a model would leave more flexibility to the BoP users to appropriate themselves the product and define their essential values. Thus, designing open and adaptable products is a way to nourish a better sustainable development

De, Klijn Ilse. "Tourisme transformationnel : la confrontation avec des pratiques frugales en vacances comme levier d'adoption de comportements pro-environnementaux pérennes." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Chambéry, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023CHAMA064.
Abstract:
L'impact non négligeable de l'action de l'homme sur le changement climatique rend plus que nécessaire l'adoption de comportements pro-environnementaux. Une partie de la population s'engage déjà dans des comportements responsables mais de nombreux freins empêchent encore l'action climatique. Cela est d'autant plus vrai dans le contexte touristique, alors que la période de vacances entraine une dégradation des comportements pro-environnementaux. La littérature dédiée à la consommation responsable peine à mettre en évidence une approche efficace pouvant conduire à des comportements vertueux pérennes. Toutefois, la littérature dédiée au tourisme transformationnel affirme le pouvoir de l'expérience touristique pour encourager des transformations individuelles. Afin de compléter les travaux existants, ce travail doctoral repose sur l'hypothèse que des pratiques expérimentées lors d'une expérience touristique pourraient être reproduites dans le quotidien et engendrer des comportements pro-environnementaux. Une collecte de données longitudinale et multiméthodes menée auprès de dix-neufs répondants réalisant une itinérance pédestre sur un chemin de Compostelle constitue notre matériau empirique. Nos résultats enrichissent d'abord la compréhension du processus holistique de transformation dans le cadre d'une itinérance pédestre à travers la construction d'un modèle conceptuel explorant les dynamiques de ce processus, les facteurs déclencheurs ainsi que les types et la durée de ces transformations. Nos résultats identifient par ailleurs que la confrontation avec des pratiques frugales au coeur de l'itinérance pédestre déclenche l'adoption de pratiques pro-environnementales pérennes dans le quotidien, grâce à un mécanisme de transférabilité déclinable qui favorise la transposition et le maintien de pratiques frugales des vacances vers le quotidien. Ces résultats permettent à la fois de contribuer aux littératures dédiées au tourisme transformationnel et à l'adoption de comportements pro-environnementaux mais aussi d'apporter des contributions méthodologiques pertinentes. Notre recherche possède par ailleurs un impact managérial et sociétal notable puisque nos recommandations invitent les acteurs touristiques à concevoir des activités autour de la frugalité afin d'engager les clientèles touristiques à reproduire ces comportements plus raisonnés dans leur quotidien, contribuant ainsi à l'effort collectif de sobriété.Mots-clés : comportements pro-environnementaux durables, tourisme transformationnel, pratiques frugales, transférabilité, étude longitudinaleEncouraging pro-environmental behaviours is deeply needed due to the significant impact of human activity on climate change. Part of the population is already engaged in virtuous behaviours, but many obstacles are still preventing climate action. It is even more significant in a tourism context since pro-environmental behaviours tend to fade during holidays. Researchers are still struggling to identify an effective approach that could lead to long-term responsible behaviours. However, the literature dedicated to transformative tourism highlights the power of the tourism experience to encourage individual transformations. To broaden existing research, this doctoral work suggests that practices experienced during a tourism activity could be transferred to everyday life and foster pro-environmental behaviours. Our empirical material is based on a longitudinal and multi-method data collection from nineteen respondents who walked several days on the Camino de Compostela. Our results first enrich the understanding of the holistic process of transformation in the context of a pedestrian itinerancy through the construction of a conceptual model exploring the dynamics of this process, the triggering factors as well as the types and duration of transformations. Our results also identify that confrontation with frugal practices during pedestrian itinerancy triggers the adoption of long-term pro-environmental practices thanks to a mechanism of transferability that encourages the transposition of frugal practices from holidays to everyday life. These results not only contribute to the literature on transformative tourism and the adoption of pro-environmental behaviours, but also make relevant methodological contributions. Our research also has a significant managerial and social impact since we invite tourism stakeholders to design frugal activities that could convince tourists to adopt more sustainable behaviours in their daily lives. This would contribute to the collective effort towards sobriety.Key words : long-term sustainable behaviour, transformative tourism, frugal practices, transferability, longitudinal study

The pulp processing is a possibility for use of fruits by traditional people like the quilombolas, inserted in a context in which native fruits are little consumed. Therefore, the hygienic and sanitary quality is essential in the production of safe food. This study aimed to evaluate the processing and hygienic and sanitary conditions of fruits and fruit pulps in quilombola community. The survey was conducted in the Community of the Remnant of Quilombo do Pombal, Goiás, Brazil. To evaluate the physical and functional conditions was applied a checklist before and after the implementation of structural adjustments, training and implementation of the Manual of Good Practices and Standard Operating Procedures. Data were categorized according to the percentage of adequacy. Microbiological analyzes of 32 samples were taken including, fruits of Cerrado found in the community and fruits and their pulps in different steps of the flowchart production. The hazards and critical control points were listed in the production flow chart. The physical and functional diagnostic performed indicated average compliance of blocks of 30.18%, being classified in Group 3, unsatisfactory. After interventions, there was 62.13% of compliance, with classification in Group 2, regular (p <0.05). The intervention effect was significant (p <0.05) for five of the seven blocks evaluated. Microbiological analysis indicated that all the native fruits collected are in accordance with the recommendations of the current health legislation. Fruits and pulps included into processing flowchart presented in accordance with sanitary standards for fecal coliform count and detection of Salmonella spp, however, the mold count and yeast in eight pulps analyzed indicated that five of them had counts above the established by legislation. The results suggest fruit contamination since the harvest and multiplication of such micro-organisms in the remaining stages. The washing and filling steps were able to reduce the load of molds and yeasts. It is understood that the physical and functional adaptations implemented were important to increase the percentage of adequacy of the items, however, the persistence of shortcomings in the work process may compromise the quality of the final product, stressing the need for compliance with good practices.
O processamento de polpas constitui uma possibilidade para utilização de frutos por povos tradicionais como os quilombolas, inseridos em um contexto no qual frutos nativos são pouco consumidos. Para tanto, a qualidade higienicossanitária é fundamental na produção de um alimento seguro. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o processamento e as condições higienicossanitárias de frutos e polpas de frutas em comunidade quilombola. A pesquisa foi realizada na Comunidade dos Remanescentes do Quilombo do Pombal, Goiás, Brasil. Para avaliação das condições físico-funcionais foi aplicada lista de verificação antes e após a realização de adequações estruturais, capacitações e implementação do Manual de Boas Práticas e Procedimentos Operacionais Padronizados. Os dados foram categorizados de acordo com o percentual de adequação. Foram realizadas análises microbiológicas de 32 amostras incluindo, frutos do Cerrado encontrados na comunidade e frutos e suas polpas em diferentes etapas do fluxograma. Foram elencados os perigos e Pontos Críticos de Controle no fluxograma de produção. O diagnóstico físico-funcional realizado indicou média de conformidade dos blocos de 30,18%, sendo classificado no Grupo 3, insatisfatório. Após intervenções, verificou-se 62,13% de conformidade, com classificação no Grupo 2, regular (p<0.05). O efeito da intervenção foi significativo (p<0,05) para cincos dos sete blocos avaliados. A análise microbiológica indicou que todos os frutos nativos coletados estão em conformidade com as recomendações da legislação sanitária vigente. Os frutos e polpas inseridos no fluxograma de processamento apresentaram-se de acordo aos padrões sanitários para contagem de coliformes termotolerantes e pesquisa de Salmonella spp, porém, a contagem de bolores e leveduras em oito polpas analisadas, indicou que cinco apresentaram contagem acima do estabelecido pela legislação. Os resultados sugerem contaminação do fruto já na colheita e a multiplicação destes micro-organismos nas demais etapas, sendo que as etapas de lavagem e envase foram capazes de reduzir a carga de bolores e leveduras. Entende-se que as adequações físico-funcionais implementadas foram importantes para o aumento do percentual de adequação dos itens, contudo, a persistência de falhas no processo de trabalho pode comprometer a qualidade do produto final, ressaltando a necessidade de adequação às boas práticas.

The height of innovation has occurred mainly in Western economies; however a newer phenomenon has recently been emerging and gaining attention among emerging markets such as China and India. The transitioning power from developed economies to developing markets has presented the need for companies to provide products and services to these underserved markets in these areas. The way to do this is through frugal innovation. This study will discuss frugal innovation‐ the art of resourcefully creating solutions using simple means‐ and present company case studies to analyze how multinationals across the globe are applying frugally innovative techniques into their business models. In addition, the paper will discuss the benefits of incorporating frugal innovation into a company’s strategy and how this can be achieved.

Abstract:
Thrift is a central concern for most people, especially in turbulent economic times. It is both an economic and an ethical logic of frugal living, saving and avoiding waste for long-term kin care. These logics echo the ancient ideal of household self-sufficiency, contrasting with capitalism’s wasteful present-focused growth. But thrift now exceeds domestic matters straying across scales to justify public expenditure cuts. Through a wide range of ethnographic contexts this book explores how practices and moralities of thrift are intertwined with austerity, debt, welfare, and patronage across various social and temporal scales and are constantly re-negotiated at the nexus of socio-economic, religious, and kinship ideals and praxis.

Abstract:
This article examines the issues of plagiarism in the works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It explains that the sources of Coleridge's writings have long fascinated critics. Coleridge's kindest critics have disentangled the components of his eclectically derivative corpus and compulsively devious practice, while his unkindest critic, Norman Fruman, has reacted against the canonical sentimentality that has transmogrified the real Coleridge into the ‘Da Vinci’ of literature. The article suggests that Coleridge crossed a qualitative line, that intangible border which separates plagiarists from the other writers who have their secrets, but who seem to lack the tendency towards dependency.

Abstract:
There are no recipes for what the Indians ate in Colonial times, but this cookbook uses period quotations to detail what and how the foodstuffs were prepared. The bulk of the cookbook is devoted to what the European immigrants cooked and what evolved into American cooking. The first colonists from England brought their foodways to America. The basic foods that Americans of European descent ate changed very little from 1600 to 1840. While the major basic foods remained the same, their part in the total diet changed. Americans at the end of the period ate far more beef and chicken than did the first colonists. They used more milk, butter and cream. They also ate more wheat in the form of breads, cakes, cookies, crackers and cereals. The same was true with fruits. Over time the more exotic vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, artichokes, and numerous root vegetables including both sweet and white potatoes became common vegetables. By the end of this period, many Americans were even eating foods like tomatoes, okra, and sesame, which were unknown to their ancestors. In addition, Americans, like their relatives in Europe, incorporated coffee, tea, and chocolate into their diets as well as more sugar. Along with them came new customs, such as tea time, and, for men, socializing at coffeehouses. Also, distilled beverages, particularly rum, which was often made into a punch with citrus juices, were increasingly used. Basic cooking technology also remained the same throughout the period, and the cookbook gives a sense of how meals were prepared. The open hearth provided the major heat source. As time passed, though, more and more people could afford to have wood-fired brick ovens in their homes. Although the recipes presented here from the first century of colonization come from cookbooks written for people of upper status, by the end of the time period, literacy rates were much higher among men and women. European and American authors published numerous cookbooks that were relatively inexpensive and available, so it is reasonable to assume that those recipes were representative of actual American cookery practices. Many changes occurred to cookbooks and recipes during this period. The recipes became more detailed and more reliant on standard measures, and the recipes were for foods that are less complicated and expensive to prepare. This fact is more a sign that cookbooks were being written for a less wealthy group of readers than that tastes and appetites had changed. The trend toward simple and frugal foods continued up to 1840 and beyond, a sign that readership had expanded as well as an indicator of what the bulk of Americans were eating. As well, recipes that were considered American were developed. All of these recipes are in their original form and have been taken from contemporary published or private cookbooks. The explanations after the recipes give historical information and suggestions if the recipe is vague or if it calls for an unusual ingredient. Dining tips are included as well. Period illustrations complement the recipes.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter synthesizes data on health disparities in suicide rates and lack of service access and discusses current gaps in research, training, and program implementation for underserved populations. We highlight emerging best practices in underserved communities that are innovative and low cost (e.g., frugal interventions) and discuss their implications for the suicide prevention field. Themes covered include the urgency of utilizing a community-based framework, the importance of early identification and upstream approaches to drive down suicide rates, the value of a comprehensive/holistic approach that is strengths-based and includes culture/spirituality, and the critical role of innovative service delivery models.

Abstract:
HRM is a significant element of management that positively shapes the performance of SMEs. A plethora of literature studying HRM innovative practices deals with the impact of innovative HR practices encompassing workplace, behavioral, technological, and innovative leadership roles on the firms` efficient and innovative performance. These studies exhibit a substantial and positive influence of the innovative HR practices on the innovative performance driving innovation in firms particularly in SMEs. However, hitherto no prominent effort has been done predominantly in Pakistan to review and synchronize the extant knowledge in a composed manner. Therefore, the proposed chapter aims to consolidate, compile, and review the current literature associated with the innovative trends of HR practices in SMEs. In addition, it also seeks to offer a comprehensive HRM model to promote innovations in HRM practices. To sum up, this chapter will significantly contribute to the existing body knowledge based on HRM innovative practices in SMEs.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the concepts and issues of SME techno-entrepreneurship in ICT clusters. An integrative literature review was adopted and three purposively selected ICT clusters were observed. The chapter provides a conceptual framing of techno-entrepreneurship practices and identifies attributes of SME techno-entrepreneurship in Nigeria, its relevance to the ICT ecosystem growth as well as national development. The chapter identifies a frugal mindset, frugal processes, networking, innovative behaviour, and frugal outcome as key attributes of SME techno-entrepreneurs operating out of ICT clusters. By linking techno-entrepreneurship with frugal innovation, the chapter further proposes a model of SME techno-entrepreneurial practices in ICT clusters which highlights the various stages and processes of cluster SME techno-entrepreneurship. The paper concludes with a section on challenges and opportunities of SME techno-entrepreneurship in Nigeria.

Abstract:
What is not as commonly identified as an optimal life #bestlife is living #frugal, and yet, there is a global electronic hive mind about how to live sparingly based on highly variant local realities. There are blogs about living on a shoestring, stretching funds, cooking in, engaging in a DIY economy (bartering with like-minded others), living off the grid, taking low-cost and simple vacations, maintaining a food garden, raising food animals, and forgoing the more spendy aspects of modern living. The narrative goes that saving up and retiring early enables low-pressure and intentional lifestyles (and an ability to focus on family and friends), low-carbon footprints (with low impacts on the environment), and the embodiment of a frugal virtue. This chapter explores what a #frugal living EHM looks like and how it brings together people around shared values and lifestyle practices for personal peace of mind, social justice, and long-term sustainability.

Abstract:
In electric vehicle applications, batteries are usually packed in modules to satisfy the energy and power demand. To facilitate the thermal management of a battery pack, a model-based observer could be designed to estimate the temperature distribution across the pack. Nevertheless, cost target in industry practice drives the number of temperature sensors in a pack to a number that is not sufficient to yield observability of all the temperature states. This paper focuses on formulating the observer design and sensor deployment strategy that could achieve the optimal observer performance under the frugal sensor allocation. The considered observer performance is the estimation errors induced by model and sensor uncertainty. The observer aims at minimizing the worst-case estimation errors under bounded model and sensor uncertainty.

Abstract:
This brief distils best data practice recommendations through consideration of key issues involved in the use of technology for surveillance, fact-checking and coordinated control during crisis or emergency response in resource constrained urban contexts. We draw lessons from how data enabled technologies were used in urban COVID-19 response, as well as how standard implementation procedures were affected by the pandemic. Disease control is a long-standing consideration in building smart city architecture, while humanitarian actions are increasingly digitised. However, there are competing city visions being employed in COVID-19 response. This is symptomatic of a broader range of tech-based responses in other humanitarian contexts. These visions range from aspirations for technology driven, centralised and surveillance oriented urban regimes, to ‘frugal innovations’ by firms, consumers and city governments. Data ecosystems are not immune from gendered- and socio-political discrimination, and technology-based interventions can worsen existing inequalities, particularly in emergencies. Technology driven public health (PH) interventions thus raise concerns about 1) what types of technologies are appropriate, 2) whether they produce inclusive outcomes for economically and socially disadvantaged urban residents and 3) the balance between surveillance and control on one hand, and privacy and citizen autonomy on the other.
