“…The results of the questionnaire were discussed during the Congress and also through an Internet forum [2,3]. The discussion confirmed the great interest of scientists in the foundational issues of measurement [4][5][6][18][19][20][21][22][23], which were also treated recently in some special issues of the present journal [16,17].…”

“…The role of measurement in science undergoes a decisive turn point in the sixteenth-seventeenth centuries with the birth of modern science [9][10][11][12]18,19]. The experimental method highlighted the importance of scientific instruments including those for measuring.…”

“…However, Sydenham (2003, p. 3) refers to Galileo's saying (1610) that "count what is countable, measure the measurable and what is not measurable, make measurable." Through the concepts of invention to innovation and the mental thinking systems, they can now be facilitated as a model of idea prediction (see Figure 1).…”

International organizations are facing social, political, economic, and environmental challenges that are factors to allow or limit themselves to break out from or maintain their usual management routine. The host of the Olympic Games every four years is no exception. This study therefore shows that unconventional thinking could affect the Olympic ceremony creativity and development. An in-depth interview was conducted with Dimitris Papaioannue, the ceremony director of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. As a result of the examination, the advantages of his visionary idea can be understood through the model of idea prediction through different mental thinking systems from invention to innovation. This model would generally allow policy-makers and practitioners to see which of mental thinking systems is best used for their organizations and society as a whole.

“…Sydenham points out that the ability to provide hard measurements, such as the size of a hole, needs to be put into its broader context [19]. Sydenham notes that few people have attempted to understand the relationship between the measurements that are taken, and their value in addressing wider critical issues [19].…”

Abstract. Capable measurement of the size and shape of components is a prerequisite for precision manufacturers. However, the design community may not fully consider measurement issues that could arise when components are manufactured, and the manufacturing community may not wholly appreciate the value that measurement data can bring to design. This paper investigates measurement knowledge in this relationship to find out if there are specific knowledge types that could be developed to improve the likelihood of fulfilling design intent. A proven systems-based approach was applied to an illustrative case to develop a model of knowledge flows and identify key knowledge types. For this case study, it was found that knowledge about measurement is dispersed and managed through a variety of practices which are relatively isolated from design. Furthermore, conflict was uncovered between the knowledge types, reinforcing the view that a more inclusive and integrated approach is required. In the course of the research, a novel methodology was developed in which group modelling was used to generate questions, rather than the more typical approach of grounding a systems model on interview data.
