A knowledge representation of the beginning of the innovation process: The Front End of Innovation Integrative Ontology (FEI2O)

Project Portfolio Management in the Front-End of Innovation of Research Centers: a Literature Review

“…Even though PPM is a well-known organizational capability that has been widely applied in the NPD phase, its relationship with FEI activities is not yet fully understood . To contribute to rationalizing this relationship, in this discussion we use the FEI Integrative Ontology (FEI2O) proposed by Pereira et al (2020) The following discussion will be built around FEI2O's sub-ontology FEI Agile New Concept Development (Figure 3) as the framework with which to overlay the above identified discussion threads. The agile nature of FEI emphasizes the need for flexibility with changing requirements and to adjust for developed concepts.…”

“…The agile nature of FEI emphasizes the need for flexibility with changing requirements and to adjust for developed concepts. It is described as an iterative process that unfolds along FEI Iterations, resulting in the development of new concepts (Pereira et al, 2020).…”

“…The search included all available papers published in SCOPUS until February 2019. The discussion uses the so-called "Front-End of Innovation Integrative Ontology (FEI2O)" framework (Pereira et al, 2020) as a theoretical tool to assist in framing the problem. This paper writes through the use of reviews as proposed by Post, Sarala, Gatrell, and Prescott (2020), which involves looking at reviews as one possible "avenue" for advancing beneficial theory.…”

Front-end of innovation: a systematic review and lifecycle analysis

“…Eling and Herstatt (2017) described the main FEI research themes considering only articles published in the Journal of Product Innovation Management until 2016. Another review (Pereira et al, 2020) considers papers published until 2015 and analyses the main FEI conceptual models. More recently, Joachim and Spieth (2020) presented a relevant analysis of the knowledge that underpins the FEI intellectual structure and can determine future research based on a cocitation analysis.…”
