text: "In innovation management, usually there is a large number of product ideas,
not all of which meet the requirements of a company and make sense to pursue further.
For selecting the most promising ideas, several methods exist which each focus
on a certain aspect. Due to the characteristics of Small and Medium Enterprises
(SMEs) such as limited resources, these enterprises have special requirements
on methods for selecting ideas. In this study, criteria of SMEs for idea selection
are deducted from SME-characteristics. Methods for idea selection are tested for
fulfillment of these criteria and the results are combined in a matrix. Together
with a guideline, a tool for idea selection in innovation management of SMEs is
developed. The results are validated in the context of innovation management in
SMEs. By selecting a method, a SME is enabled to make economically viable decisions
for their product portfolio, thus\r\nensuring sustainable economic success."
