User-driven Customization (UDC) is a promising concept to react on current developments in the markets. However, until now no successful applications of UDC for technical products exist. Therefore, this paper develops and implements a continuous toolchain for UDC from the customization toolkit via an OI-platform to the production back-end. The resulting prototype achieves the proof of concept for...
Joint idea generation is vital in software development projects requiring team members with different knowledge specializations to exchange and integrate multiple perspectives into ideas to improve the software product. While joint idea generation is generally difficult to achieve, it is even more challenging in offshore-outsourced settings. Our goal was to understand the process of how software prototypes...
Design thinking framework is a powerful framework for innovation and design. It involves design specific cognitive activities such as Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test (EDIPT). In this paper we present an implementation of EDIPT framework by novice educational technology (ET) researchers and investigate if the quality of research problems generated by the novice researchers is comparable...
Entrepreneurial opportunities are a crucial starting point of the entrepreneurial process. However, reliable and replicable methods for systematically searching, framing, developing and assessing opportunities are still undeveloped. This article describes an action-research case study based on an experimental workshop performed in Beijing, China, in the context of an entrepreneurial platform called...
This paper outlines a project aimed at addressing the issue of the scalability of online academic support. This project is being run during the Autumn semester at the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) Toowoomba Australia, in conjunction with the Australian Digital Futures Institute. The study attached to the project will use Design-Based Research to evaluate the effectiveness of a simple, but...
Innovation is the fundamental source of value creation in organizations. Despite its importance, many companies fail to systematize the innovation process. The innovation process depends on a complex combination of factors related to organizational culture, which are not easily identified. This paper proposes a collaborative approach to identify innovation factors by using the group storytelling approach...
The work presented in this paper demonstrates that creative design is not a process, but rather it should be represented in terms of the dynamics of clusters of creative design activities that represent the interplay between the behaviour of creative design and its context. The clusters of creative design activities are associated with a focus aimed at achieving a certain task. It is shown that there...
This paper proposes a new review approach for innovative software development. Innovative software development implies that requirements are rarely available as a basis for reviewing and that the purpose of a review is as much to forward additional ideas, as to validate what has been accomplished in the project already. The approach is called the Gauntlet. It is based on extensive use of roles for...
