Abstract
Within innovation, systems based literatures focus on pursuit of cutting edge innovation and its impact on growth. They however do not closely examine resource scarce developing country contexts. Social innovation literature focused on such resource scarce contexts argues against cutting edge innovation instead advocating for affordability and access. As such for developing country practitioners, these schools of thought set up an impossible trade-off between affordability and cutting edge innovation. This paper through a study of three innovations in the medical field, proposes phronetic innovation as the mechanism to resolve the trade-off. Phronesis through its value driven situated action, redefines problems, resources, opportunities and constraints and enables innovators to raise beyond the scarcities they face in their situations.
