การบริหารสภาพแวดล้อมการเรียนรู้ที่เอื้อต่อการสร้างนวัตกรผู้ประกอบการยุคใหม่ ตามแนวคิดนวัตกรรมแบบมัธยัสถ์

Abstract

Frugal innovation had widely been recognized as a sustainable solution that could create quality, affordable and accessible products and services amid the scarcity of limited resources. It was the ability of the new innovative entrepreneurs to do more with less by creating high valued innovation, and thus create high quality and more value to economy, society and the sustainability of the degrading environment as a result of resource overuse. It had presently been practiced in many business sectors such as health, manufacturing, food, automobile including education. Creating frugal innovation was the ability of the new innovative entrepreneurs to innovate and see resource constraints as an opportunity, not a liability. As a result, they needed
a flexible mindset to create and run their business to deliver their customers products and services. They also needed the ability to think critically and creatively in order to innovate. They must deeply understand their passion, values, purpose and identity as well as their social context in order to create. Educational institutions which played an important role in developing human resource to meet the era of creativity under scarce resources needed to have a new form of learning environment management responsive to foster new innovative entrepreneurs based on the concept of frugal innovation to respond to the challenge of this rapidly and disruptively changing world. My literature reviews showed that learning environment management responsive to foster new innovative entrepreneurs based on the concept of frugal innovation could be put into “a 4Ps framework” that could be defined as People management, Process management, Program management and Philosophy management.
