Abstract: Frugal innovation will likely play an important part in the future of innovation management. In developed countries like Finland, it has attracted only meagre research attention thus far, but global interest in the concept is increasing quite rapidly. The study focuses on how frugal innovation is understood among developed countries’ professionals and nascent professionals in a technical university setting. The study aims to contribute to an improved understanding of and readiness for frugal innovation in developed countries. Improved readiness for frugal innovation is necessary to realize the full potential of the concept. Frugal innovation shall be included as an element of the research agendas and teaching in developed countries.
