Abstract:
This paper aims for the development of a concept that shows how the degree of novelty of product ideas can be used for idea management. Therefore, a definition of the degree of novelty of product ideas is developed at first. The degree of novelty is divided in different dimensions regarding what aspect of an idea is new, how new this aspect is and to whom this aspect is new. Based on that, it is shown how the degree of novelty can be implemented in the stages of idea description and evaluation.
