| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Generating a new product idea that leads to identification of a market opportunity in the new product development is critical. This study focuses on visualization as a creative cognition approach and examines the effect and nature of the use of visualization for the realization of idea creativity (novelty and meaningfulness) in the new product idea development through experimental studies.
The results from the two types of experiments indicate that the use of idea visualization can be effective to realization of idea novelty, and this effect is independent to that of the use of analogical transfer or multiple idea generation, which are different types of creative cognition approaches.
