Frugal innovation or frugal engineering is the process of reducing the complexity and cost of a product. Usually this refers to removing nonessential features from a durable product, in order to sell it in developing markets. [Wikipedia]

About Topic: Frugal Innovation
Frugal innovation is the ability to generate considerably more business and social value while significantly reducing the use of scarce resources. It’s about solving—and even transcending—the paradox of “doing more with less”. Frugal innovation is a game-changing strategy for an “Age of Austerity” in which firms are being compelled by cost-conscious and eco-aware consumers, employees, and governments to create offerings that are simultaneously affordable, sustainable, and of high quality. Even more than a strategy, frugal innovation is a whole new mindset, a flexible approach that perceives resource constraints not as a debilitating challenge but as a growth opportunity. [INSEAD]
