Knowledge and Ideation

Inventive Knowledge Analysis for Ideation Stimulation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Our world overwhelms us with more and more data everyday. Yet we need to face many challenges in order to deal with its complexity - notably to discern the essential from the accessory, to exploit quality and not quantity, to explore the depth of our knowledge and to produce from it, in a reasoned way, effective ideas to be put into action. A synthesis of a triple experience in industry, pedagogy and academia, Knowledge and Ideation presents numerous concepts, such as the dematerialized knowledge object, inventive intellectual heritage, inventive potential, and knowledge-based ideation. This book develops and describes applications in the form of case studies while proposing prospects.
