Technology and Innovation Management Assignment - Research and Innovation Tools

Overview- Each student will research methods for idea generation and for idea evaluation and selection and create method cards summarising their research. Later as part of a group project for Assignment 2, these cards will be used to explain, evaluate and apply a selection of the methods to generate and develop an innovative idea.

Innovation method research - method cards

This assignment requires research on two methods for idea generation, and two methods for idea evaluation and/or selection. Each student will produce four (4) method cards.

What to research. Each person will research four methods. Two of the methods will be for the idea generation phase (generating ideas, stimulating creativity, improving ideas, etc). The other two methods are for the idea evaluation and selection phase (methods for comparing, evaluating, ranking or selecting ideas). These methods will later be used for Assignment 2 - therefore, students should coordinate the method topics among Assignment 2 group members to avoid duplication and ensure that a wide range of methods is studied within each group. A method card for brainstorming has been created as an example of how to present the information, including references. You may NOT include 'brainstorming' as one of the methods you research.
