• Abstract: This work entitled: Frugal Innovation in Multinational and Domestic Companies and its Economic and Social Impact in Mozambique, aims to verify the social impact of frugal innovation practiced by national and multinational companies in Mozambique. The methodological approach is qualitative, using case studies to ascertain how frugal innovation generates economic and social impact. The work is made up of three main chapters, as follows: In the first chapter on Frugal Innovation, the research discusses the theories on Frugal Innovation and then, in addition to the evolution, the concepts of Frugal Innovation are discussed, taking into account its variations, the Frugal Innovation Process, focusing on inputs, outputs and success and impediment factors. The second chapter, in addition to an introductory note on social impact, discusses the emergence of the social context, develops the concept of social impact and its contribution to the economic and social spheres. The third chapter is reserved for the final considerations, where we will present some propositions regarding frugal innovation, its contribution and the impact it has generated in the social and economic spheres, and finally the study alludes to the questions that will guide the case study in Mozambique.
