Abstract

The fields of frugal and reverse innovation as well as sustainability and its management
have received tremendous interest in recent times. However, there is little literature
on how both fields are related to each other. Hence, this paper gives an overview
of research in both areas and provides a view of the relationship between frugal
and reverse innovation, sustainability management and performance constructs.
The link between frugal and reverse innovation on the one hand and sustainability
performance on the other hand is established through a differentiated perspective
on dimensions representing different fields of sustainability management, i.e. the
sustainability of resources used in value creation, the sustainability of the actual
value creation processes, and the sustainability of the outcomes of value creation
processes. Moreover, we also argue for a positive link between the three dimensions
of sustainability management and a company’s market performance.
