"Jugaad Innovation is the most comprehensive book yet to appear on the subject [of frugal innovation]." ―The Economist A frugal and flexible approach to innovation for the 21st century Innovation is a key directive at companies worldwide. But in these tough times, we can't rely on the old formula that has sustained innovation efforts for decades―expensive R&amp;D projects and highly-structured innovation processes. Jugaad Innovation argues the West must look to places like India, Brazil, and China for a new approach to frugal and flexible innovation. The authors show how in these emerging markets, jugaad (a Hindi word meaning an improvised solution born from ingenuity and cleverness) is leading to dramatic growth and how Western companies can adopt jugaad innovation to succeed in our hypercompetitive world. <ul>
<li>Outlines the six principles of jugaad innovation: Seek opportunity in adversity, do more with less, think and act flexibly, keep it simple, include the margin, and follow your heart</li> <li>Features twenty case studies on large corporations from around the world―Google, Facebook, 3M, Apple, Best Buy, GE, IBM, Nokia, Procter &amp; Gamble, PepsiCo, Tata Group, and more―that are actively practicing jugaad innovation</li> <li>The authors blog regularly at Harvard Business Review; their work has been profiled in BusinessWeek, MIT Sloan Management Review, The Financial Times, The Economist, and more</li> <li>Filled with previously untold and engaging stories of resourceful jugaad innovators and entrepreneurs in emerging markets and the United States</li> </ul>
This groundbreaking book shows leaders everywhere why the time is right for jugaad to emerge as a powerful business tool in the West―and how to bring jugaad practices to their organizations.

A fresh and timely approach to nurturing wise, resilient, and flexible leadership in a world of growing complexity Leaders tend to obstinately stick to the leadership style that brought them most success in the past, usually one of two extreme styles: functional leadership that focuses on operational excellence or smart leadership that focuses on growth. When a leader's focus is too functional, the organization becomes introverted and can focus too much on bottom-line profitability while missing out on top-line growth opportunities. But when leaders focus too much on smart leadership, the organization may experience quick growth but lose its effectiveness quickly. From Smart to Wise offers a new approach that balances the two styles to achieve a form of wise leadership that is both functional and smart. Drawing on inspiring real-life stories of historical and contemporary wise leaders such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and even Mahatma Gandhi, the authors identify six characteristics of wise leaders and offer a practical framework to help readers develop their own style of wise leadership. <ul>
<li>A timely and innovative approach to leadership</li> <li>Written by noted speakers who conduct dozens of keynote speeches and workshops, training thousands of people annually</li> </ul>

Redevenons ingénieux ! 
Jugaad : ce mot hindi populaire recouvre un concept que l'on pourrait traduire en français par "débrouillardise", soit improviser des solutions ingénieuses dans des conditions adverses (voire hostiles). Dotés de cet état d'esprit agile, les entrepreneurs en Inde - mais aussi en Chine, au Brésil ou en Afrique - parviennent à transformer les contraintes en opportunités et à "faire plus avec moins". Cette approche d'innovation frugale et flexible ne se limite plus aux économies émergentes. Dans ce livre, vous découvrirez les six principes de l'innovation jugaad, ainsi que de nombreux exemples de mise en pratique de cet état d'esprit résilient et créatif dans le monde entier, dans différents secteurs d'activités. En France, certaines entreprises ont déjà opté pour cette démarche d'innovation nouvelle, et développé des solutions ingénieuses et génératrices de forte croissance : c'est le cas d'Accenture, Alcatel, Renault-Nissan, L'Oréal, Lafarge, Air Liquide, Saatchi & Saatchi + Duke et de la SNCF, dont nous avons interviewé les dirigeants pour l'édition française de ce livre. Les structures et processus industriels de l'après-guerre - gros budgets R&D, hiérarchies, etc - ne sont plus complètement adaptés au monde complexe dans lequel nous vivons. Redevenons ingénieux !
