The development of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) has not followed the
usual patterns of scientific validation required by engineering methods. Consequently, its …

This paper reviews the research ideas around consumer response to product design. From
the product side, we discuss the most significant design features preferred by average …

Validation of design methods is a challenge in design research, as there is a lack of
common methodology. This contribution investigates how validation of design methods is …

This study explores the interplay between internal factors (eg personal values) and external
factors (eg product framing and representation form) in shaping user perceptions, attitudes …

Abstract 266 fuzzy front-end (FFE) studies in the new product development (NPD) sector
were examined. The studies were selected using a bibliometrics method, and …

Purpose: Although firms try to shorten time-to-market, the duration of product development
projects might anyway jeopardize the assumptions made at the beginning of the design …

The paper offers insights into people's exploration of creative products shown on a computer
screen within the overall task of capturing artifacts' original features and functions. In …

Many scholars argue that very early design phases are not supported adequately in many
respects, although they are at the cornerstone of successful new product development …

The recent notable emergence of a body of research in requirements management on one
hand and benefits realisation has contributed to addressing a growing need for improved …

Featured Application This study illustrates a reasoned design process that conceptually
defines a project of a test rig on the basis of the tests that it must be able to perform when in …
