Abstract

Organizations ensure responsible innovation through collaborative management. Asian organizations adopt resource-constrained innovation, being one form of frugal innovation, and responsible innovation. Also, Asian organizations are influenced by culture, such as jugaad, on developing innovation capability. Few research studies have focused on the antecedents and consequences of resource-constrained innovation and responsible innovation from Asian organizations’ capability and culture perspective. With this background, the purpose of this study is to determine the antecedents and consequences of frugal innovation and responsible innovation of Asian organizations. With consideration of the extant literature and theories such as dynamic capability view and neo-institutional theory, a conceptual model has been developed. The conceptual model has been validated using partial least squares structural equation modeling technique with the help of survey data collected from Asian countries. The research study finds that knowledge management capability, bricolage capability, and collaborative capability impact organizations’ resource-constrained innovation and responsible innovation. Also, the study finds that jugaad culture has a significant impact on innovation and organization performance.
