Abstract

The productivity early stages of NPD play an important role in the process of innovation. Innovative ideas and later concepts are assessed in a situation of high uncertainty. Insufficient assessment results in the execution of too many marginal projects and the improper allocation of resources. It is therefore important to define a systematic method for idea assessment and provide transparent information for decision-making. This paper presents an attempt to define the methodology for the selection of ideas, and defines a set of criteria and attributes to assess the value of ideas.

Keywords: innovation, new product development, early design phases, idea management, idea evaluation and selection
