Through the lens of Bāṇārasī toy designers—a community on whom linguistic analysis has previously revealed a deeply embedded system of design categorization and experiential practice—this book explores how generational tacit knowledge is internalized, transmitted, and applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChallenging dominant paradigms that privilege global scalability and technological disruption, the book advocates for a localized approach to innovation that emphasizes cultural acceptability, continuity, and systemic coherence. Cultural design is presented not only as a method for solving problems within culturally bounded contexts but also as a pedagogical strategy for converting implicit expertise into formalized, transferable knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume contributes to the emerging discourse on culturally grounded design methodologies that prioritize cultural acceptability over disruptive change to foster more sustainable, community-aligned innovation ecosystems. This can be a useful resource for scholars, educators, practitioners, policymakers, investors, and market analysts seeking to engage with alternative models of innovation that honor cultural specificity while fostering equitable development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-01-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789819692262\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-96-9227-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 242\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309591031948,"sku":"9789819692262","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819692262.jpg?v=1773285600","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789819692262","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
