Identifying Dissimilarities among Global Teams while Pursuing New Product Idea Generation Practices

Mass Collaboration-Driven Method for Recommending Product Ideas Based on Dempster-Shafer Theory of Evidence

“…From the perspective of idea generation. Chou presented an ideation method for generating new product ideas [4]; Kazmi and Kytola attempted to explore assessment of a company's new product ideas generation potential linked to their industrial teams' diversified capabilities as well as their work potential [5]; Banović et al used projective and creative research techniques to involve consumers in the process of modification and generation of new product ideas [6]; Shroyer et al presented a qualitative case study of a professional design team's use of ideas generation with analyses at five emergent timescales [7]; Giller et al suggested that either unbounded or prohibitive task instructions should be used when crowdsourcing innovative ideas [8]; Kwon et al proposed a methodology to be served as an essential supporting tool for generating creative ideas that could spark innovation [9]; Mirtalaie et al presented a systemic framework for product designers in the ideation phase of new product development. From the perspective of product ideas evaluation; Steele et al developed a measure of ideas evaluation self-efficacy [10,11];Özaygen and Balagué proposed a methodology to reduce crowd innovation voting bias and to help managers to better select the ideas [12]; Hao et al explored the neural correlates underlying the effects of ideas evaluation on idea generation in creative thinking [13]; Mayseless et al proposed an explanatory model of 2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering ideas centered upon the key role of the left temporoparietal regions in evaluating and inhibiting ideas [14]; Hoornaert et al established a new model that can improve the reliability of ideas ranking by means of automated information retrieval methods, linear methods, and nonlinear machine-learning algorithms [15].…”
