[{"status":"public","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Within innovation management, choosing the best fitting product idea is the most important decision point. The future existence and success of the organization is depending on selected product ideas. To find the best fitting idea for an organization, it needs evaluation criteria representing the organizations mission Therefore, this study focuses on a holistic overview about evaluation criteria and on supporting organizations in the process to select its individual evaluation criteria. Based on a literature study, existing approaches regarding evaluation criteria in product idea selection are identified and a list of evaluation criteria is reworked. Using the list of evaluation criteria, a prioritization method is created. Within an interview with experts in innovation management, the method is discussed regarding usability and the level of assistance in product idea selection. The developed criteria can be used directly by innovation manager and industrial practitioners to evaluate potential product ideas."}],"publication":"XXXIII Proceedings of the ISPIM Innovation Conference","type":"conference","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["innovation management","evaluation criteria","idea selection","idea evaluation","meta-study"],"department":[{"_id":"152"}],"user_id":"44158","series_title":"Event Proceedings: LUT Scientific and Expertise Publications","_id":"34166","citation":{"ama":"Gräßler I, Koch A-S.

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.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["innovation management","SME","evaluation method","idea selection","meta-study","idea evaluation"],"quality_controlled":"1","year":"2021","date_created":"2021-09-09T13:25:00Z","publisher":"LUT Scientific and Expertise Publications","title":"Supporting Innovation Management for SMEs: A Tool for Idea Selection","type":"conference","status":"public","department":[{"_id":"152"}],"user_id":"77594","_id":"24079","publication_identifier":{"unknown":[" 978-952-335-467-8"]},"publication_status":"published","citation":{"apa":"Gräßler, I., Koch, A.-S., Thiele, H., &#38; Dattner, M.
