  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.

  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."
