Action Research Evaluation, Summary and Research Contribution
摘要
The final chapter critically evaluates the action research project, reflecting on both its theoretical and practical contributions to the field. While it highlights the successful potential of frugal engineering as a new innovation paradigm, it also emphasizes the need for tailored environments in which it can thrive, requiring far more than just change initiators. Key organizational factors such as internal and external uncertainty avoidance, ambidexterity, system orientation, and an appropriate organizational design are identified as crucial elements. The chapter also addresses the limitations of the study and suggests future research avenues to further explore the conditions necessary for the sustained adoption of frugal engineering.
