I understand the concern that "reverse innovation" may be a neologism, but I'd like to point out that it is a newly coined expression which has already gained acceptance at the Harvard Business Review. If you notice, there are several key concepts in management philosophy which were introduced in HBR, including terms like "Balanced scorecard," "Core competence," "Strategic intent," "Reengineering," "Globalization," "Marketing myopia," and "Glass ceiling" - all of which were first given prominence in HBR's pages. I strongly believe that "reverse innovation" is one of these terms.

Furthermore, Vijay Govindarajan is considered to be one of the world's leading strategic thinkers - he was just renamed in the Thinkers 50 for 2009, a top honor in the world of strategy and business. Govindarajan was also elected to the Strategic Management Society this year (please see: http://fellows.strategicmanagement.net/). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christiansarkar (talkcontribs) 03:19, 23 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Already, there are conferences and management seminars and books being planned around the topic. I will add some more information to illustrate the fact that this is not a phenomenon restricted to GE alone, but that there are several other US and foreign multinationals which are using "reverse innovation" as a critical element in their strategy to survive the recession.

I hope you will consider these comments before deleting the article, and I apologize for my lack of knowledge of wikipedia procedure, which I'm trying to rectify.

This is not a new concept, nor was it introduced by VG or the HBR. This article is a complete POV skipping the works of multiple people in the field with whom VG et. al. have taken credit such as Gordon Foxall, Olaf Groth and others. Adding POV tag as a result.--VVikingTalkEdits 13:50, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
