“…Grassroots innovation in Malaysia can exert a substantial societal impact (Syah et al, 2021). Small-scale farmers in rural parts of Malaysia have adopted cost-effective and ecologically sustainable farming practices (Zainoddin et al, 2018;Syah et al, 2021). These locals have integrated conventional agricultural methods with contemporary technologies to optimise their crop production while minimising ecological impact (Singh et al, 2019).…”

Grassroots innovation is a customised innovation programme aimed at empowering the community by demonstrating creativity, resourcefulness, and technological proficiency to tackle issues that impact their daily life. Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia (YIM) is a prominent institution in Malaysia that serves as an anchor for this endeavour. This study examines a project that was awarded an innovation grant to produce curry puff makers and distribute the machines to individuals from marginalised demographics, including single moms, handicapped individuals, and others. The methodology of research for this study involves using a qualitative method, namely a descriptive case study approach, to engage with the grant recipient. The feedback was evaluated using thematic techniques. The project has successfully achieved its objectives across the four examined categories: social, economic, environmental, and technological adoption.

Low levels of human capital and institutional underdevelopment have been linked to the economic downfall of developing nations. With time, it became evident that the direct mechanisms of innovation creation are not explained by the traditional linear framework of innovative development. Later, the significance of both social and institutional settings for innovation production was emphasized, as was the necessity of their convergence to close gaps in the fields of technology and technological growth in different nations worldwide. Social capital has positive effects on poverty reduction, economic growth, knowledge transfer, knowledge creation, and backs in knowledge management, reduces transaction costs, influences proactiveness and even considered as the glue that holds a society together. The literature on social capital concentrates on the internal and external networks of the companies that may support innovative capacities that result in proactive strategic behavior. Through improved interpersonal interactions, social capital promotes better coordination of activities. Consequently, increased community trust and a shared vision increase market efficiency and lower related costs. The aim of this research is to examine the influence of social capital on the innovation process ability of countries. This study has demonstrated the beneficial impact of social capital on innovation mainly for selected BRICS countries and developing countries. Among the three forms of capital the social capital has the highest value. When social capital increases by 1%, the number of patent applications increases by 2.46% for BRICs. Therefore, these counties must establish a robust trust ecosystem inside and outside their organizations for all stakeholders to gain competitive advantage in the global world.
