“…In other words, large gaps between technological stateof-the-art and technological mission demands are avoided (Szajnfarber, Grindle, & Weigel, 2009). This can be a hindrance to innovation as only sufficiently ambitious technological demands really drive innovation (Szajnfarber, Stringfellow, & Weigel, 2010).…”

The theory of Disruptive Technologies explains the evolution of technologies that disturb the status quo of both dominant technology platforms and competitive market layouts. In this paper, the theory of Disruptive Technologies for the space sector is explored. This exploration is required because the Disruptive Technology theory is currently based upon the innovation dynamics of mass consumer markets, which are significantly different from the dynamics of the low volume, highly governmentally influenced space sector. The objective is to clarify the dynamics of innovation in space (with particular respect to technological disruptions) in order to help decision makers in their effort to support innovation in the development of space technologies. This is done by analyzing the dynamics of the space sector and the theory of Disruptive Technologies in respect to its applicability to the space sector. The result of these analyses leads to the creation of a theory that is tailored to the specific innovation dynamics of the space sector. The theory is termed Disruptive Space Technologies. Key element of this theory is the fact that Disruptive Technologies in the space sector focus mainly on technology disruption rather than market disruption.

“…As integral participants in design activities, customers could directly affect the success of a new product via the degree of customer satisfaction (Ngo and O'Cass, 2012;Szainfarber et al, 2010 (Kärkkäinen et al, 2001), efficient and effective customer need assessment models (Kärkkäinen and Elfvengren, 2002), advanced integration of customer opinions into concept generation (Smith et al, 2012), optimization of customer comfortability of product (e.g. interface design (Chen and Liu, 2005)) and product redesign (Smith et al, 2012) Therefore, the term "extensive consumers" is used to represent all groups of personnel who might be involved in and have an impact on design activities.…”

Product conceptualization plays a critical role in new product development. Research has shown that 75-80% of a product's lifecycle cost is determined during the conceptual design phase. Thus, achieving a competitive edge at the front end could lead to more opportunities for successful final products. However, to realize product innovation in the conceptual design stage is challenging. The incomplete PhD Thesis Summary VIII computer (PC) design project is presented. The results demonstrate that the proposed PCSCI has advantages in gaining more effective contributions (by WKAP), identifying promising concept candidates more efficiently (by AI-ICDP), and achieving a more scientific and rational measurement of innovativeness (by CLRP). In conclusion, this research creates a collective intelligence environment for product conceptualization, advances the applications of computational intelligence in the conceptual design stage, and lays the foundation for further exploration in related areas.
