This recent book by Navi Radjou and Jaideep Prabhu was published in Ukraine by Vasyl Khmelnytsky\u2019s K.Fund.<\/em><\/p>\n

At the Kyiv International Economic Forum, Vasyl Khmelnytsky\u2019s K.Fund presented the Ukrainian edition of the global bestseller by Navi Radjou and Jaideep Prabhu \u201cFrugal Innovation: How to Do More With Less.\u201d<\/p>\n

Radjou and Prabhu claim that frugal innovation has transformed from business strategy into a new way of thinking. Limited resources should not be seen as a rigid condition but rather as a challenge for management. Companies that take this challenge offer their customers the most of useful opportunities at minimum costs. Describing case studies in detail, the authors prove that by using the new approaches, one can not only reduce costs, but also develop the company\u2019s potential, make profit, and change the corporate culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrugal innovation is actually a guide to action for Ukrainian businesses. Giving real examples, the authors analyze Western experience of introducing innovations. The book is especially relevant nowadays, when local players utilize all available resources in order to survive. First of all it will be useful to Ukrainian entrepreneurs and managers. But the publication is for a wider audience \u2014 people who see challenges not only as a negative factor, but also as new opportunities to develop\u201d\u00a0Khmelnytsky said when commenting on the release of the Ukrainian version of the book.<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
