Systematic Review - Network for Business Sustainability

ENVIRONMENTAL INNNOVATION
Actions taken by individuals or teams that improve the environmental performance of companies. Pollution prevention initiatives, replacement
of toxic or hazardous substances, dematerialization of products and replacing products with services are types of “eco-innovations” (Ramus,
2001).
The compliance efforts and efficiency improvements made to existing products and operations. Sustainability is defined as the innovative and
potentially transformative corporate activities that generate new products and processes that challenge existing practice (Larson, 2000).
Any kind of innovations — technical, economic, legal, institutional, organizational and behavioural — that relieve strain on environmentally
sensitive resources and sinks (Huber, 2008).
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Development without growth in throughput of matter or energy beyond regenerative and absorptive capacities (Mirata & Emtairah, 2005).
FRUGAL INNOVATION
Seeks to minimize the use of material and financial resources in the complete value chain (development, manufacturing, distribution,
consumption and disposal) with the objective of reducing the cost of ownership while fulfilling or even exceeding certain pre-defined criteria of
acceptable quality standards (Tiwari & Herstatt, 2012).
GREEN INNOVATION
The improvement of products or processes for energy-saving, pollution-prevention, waste recycling, green product designs and corporate
environmental management in the field of environmental management. Green innovation can be divided into green product innovation and
green process innovation (Chang, 2011).
GREEN PRODUCT INNOVATION
A multi-faceted process aimed at minimizing environmental impacts while striving to protect and enhance the natural environment by
conserving energy and resources (Lee & Kim, 2011).
INCLUSIVE INNOVATION
The development and implementation of new ideas that aspire to create opportunities to enhance social and economic wellbeing for
disenfranchised members of society (George et al., 2012).
JUGAAD INNOVATION
A colloquial Hindi word that roughly translates as “an innovative fix; an improvised solution born from ingenuity and cleverness.” Jugaad is,
quite simply, a unique way of thinking and acting in response to challenges; it is the gutsy art of spotting opportunities in the most adverse
circumstances and resourcefully improvising solutions using simple means. Jugaad is about doing more with less (Radjou et al., 2012).
SOCIAL INNOVATION
Innovative activities and services that are motivated by the goal of meeting a social need and are predominantly developed and diffused
through organizations whose primary purposes are social (Mulgan et al., 2007).
