abstract: 'Background: There are significant differences in the meaning and use of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the term `Reverse Innovation'' between industry circles, where the term
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
originated, and health policy circles where the term has gained
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
traction. It is often conflated with other popularized terms such as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Frugal Innovation, Co-development and Trickle-up Innovation. Compared to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
its use in the industrial sector, this conceptualization of Reverse
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Innovation describes a more complex, fragmented process, and one with no
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particular institution in charge. It follows that the way in which the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
term `Reverse Innovation'', specifically, is understood and used in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
healthcare space is worthy of examination.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: Between September and Decemsber 2014, we conducted eleven
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in-depth face-to-face or telephone interview with key informants from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
innovation, health and social policy circles, experts in international
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
comparative policy research and leaders in the Reverse Innovation space
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the United States. Interviews were open-ended with guiding probes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
into the barriers and enablers to Reverse Innovation in the US context,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
specifically also informants'' experience and understanding of the term
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reverse Innovation. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
thematically using the process of constant comparison.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: We describe three main themes derived from the interviews.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, `Reverse Innovation,'' the term, has marketing currency to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
convince policy-makers that may be wary of learning from or adopting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
innovations from unexpected sources, in this case Low-Income Countries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Second, the term can have the opposite effect - by connoting frugality,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or innovation arising from necessity as opposed to good leadership, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
proposed innovation may be associated with poor quality, undermining
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
potential translation into other contexts. Finally, the term `Reverse
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Innovation'' is a paradox - it breaks down preconceptions of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
directionality of knowledge and learning, whilst simultaneously
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reinforcing it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: We conclude that this term means different things to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
different people and should be used strategically, and with some
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
caution, depending on the audience.'
