Trickle-up innovation for the bargain hungry market place

Procter & Gamble (PG) and other multinationals are taking low-cost products initially developed for emerging markets and adapting them for bargain-hungry audiences in North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia. In the past, corporations stripped away features to offer them at low prices to people in developing countries, often adding details based on local research on user habits and needs. Now the opposite process, called "trickle-up innovation," is happening. Some examples will follow.

GM's New Cars--Designed Everywhere

Next week at the New York Auto Show, General Motors will unveil three concepts for its new minicar--and will invite customers to vote on which one should actually go into production. What's really interesting: All three concepts were designed in GM's design studio in Incheon, South Korea. GM's new LaCrosse sedan, which is due out by 2009, is being designed largely in GM's center outside Shanghai.
Chinese designers creating a car for America--and for the rest of the world, too. GM has figured out that America doesn't have a lock on design chops. That's why it's pitting its design teams around the world against each other in contests to dream up each new model.

Should we be concerned or embrace this new wave of thinking?

Mercedes' fish-inspired car

When Mercedes-Benz began to contemplate its next generation of high-efficiency small cars, it sought aquatic inspiration.
But instead of considering obvious undersea hot rods like sharks, the Mercedes team turned to a fish that resembled a car: the tropical boxfish.
Like the droplet, the boxfish's face is small in proportion to its overall length, and its streamlined surfaces encourage air to move over it without creating the turbulence that robs aerodynamic efficiency.
Mercedes' Bionic concept vehicle mimics this functional form.
Although the Bionic isn't coming to your local dealership, Mercedes does expect it to significantly influence the design language of its next generation of small cars.

THE FUTURE

"The future will fascinate. A place where experience becomes more important than information, truth more important than technology, and ideas the only global currency.” - Ralph Ardill, ImaginationSource: Design Council [UK]
