User innovation and entrepreneurship: case studies from rural India

Vanita Yadav, Preeti Goyal · 2015 · Journal of Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Summary. Rural innovators in India develop low-cost solutions to local problems driven by necessity rather than profit. Five case studies reveal that these user-innovators lack resources to commercialize their inventions. External actors can bridge this gap by providing support. The research proposes a framework for enabling rural innovation and entrepreneurship in developing countries, showing that successful innovations reduce poverty and create positive social impacts for entrepreneurs and their communities.
