Abstract

The reverse innovation concept has gained traction in the practitioner and academic domains since it alters the traditional view of innovations flowing from developed countries to emerging markets. Reverse innovations depart from the assumption that product development appeals to value offers with reduced performance and radically lower price points for consumers in emerging markets. Existing literature on reverse innovations has been limited to analyse case studies and anecdotic evidence but a systematic framework is needed to innovate in systematic ways. Drawing from the technology planning and forecasting, this paper proposes that technology roadmaps are suitable tools to analyse how a reverse innovation designed initially in an emerging market encroaches developed countries. At the firm level, roadmaps integrate technology planning, product development, and market aspects. Hence, they become suitable tools to design and commercialize products and services based on the reverse innovation paradigm.
