Research Abstract |
Some previous studies point out the importance of user-perspective in generating ideas for innovation. This study experimentally tested the above to find that useful ideas could be generated by the group of users called “early adopters” who behaved differently from product developers in regard to product adoption and general knowledge. This study also suggested experimentally that both the way of information retrieval which precedes idea generation and the tendency toward risk orientation of an idea generator affect the quality of ideas generated. In addition, this study proposes a new workshop method which enables its participants to generate business ideas from user-perspective and measured the effect of the method.
