“…É neste contexto que von Hippel [2005] afirma que "a inovação está a ser democratizada" (p.1). O envolvimento dos utilizadores no estágio inicial do processo de inovação, denominado por fase 0 ou Front-End de Inovação (FEI) [Koen et al 2001], passou a ser uma necessidade, tendo sido desenvolvidos vários métodos para permitir a captura e transferência do seu conhecimento para a criação de novos 14ª Conferência da Associação Portuguesa de Sistemas de Informação (CAPSI 2014) 70 conceitos.

ResumoA diferenciação e a capacidade de competir nos exigentes mercados atuais são as maiores forças motrizes da inovação. A inovação pode ser vista como conhecimento incorporado em produtos ou serviços. Porém, as organizações podem não conseguir ser autónomas na criação de novo conhecimento. Para suprimento desta lacuna, as organizações abriram os seus processos de inovação no sentido de obter conhecimento externo, através da colaboração com vários agentes socioeconómicos (clientes, parceiros, fornecedores, universidades, etc.). Várias estratégias e ferramentas de software baseadas na Web 2.0 foram desenvolvidas ou adotadas para o envolvimento destes agentes no estágio inicial do processo de inovação. No entanto, estas ferramentas não são de todo eficientes na sistematização do conhecimento, processo necessário para facilitar a sua transferência e internalização. Este artigo apresenta um método para a sistematização de conhecimento co-criado no processo de desenvolvimento de novos conceitos, no contexto da inovação com utilizadores. O método é baseado em mapas conceptuais estendidos, criados colaborativamente e estruturados no formato standard XTM.Palavras chave: Inovação com utilizadores, criação de conhecimento, mapas conceptuais, Web mashups. (clients, partners, suppliers, universities, etc.) Abstract Product differentiation and the ability to compete in today's demanding markets are biggest drivers of innovation. Innovation can be seen as new knowledge incorporated into products and services and in the process of new knowledge creation, organizations may not be autonomous. To overcome this issue, organizations opened their innovation processes aiming to acquire external knowledge by collaborating with several socio-economic agents

“…Peter Koen and his collegues (Koen et al 1996) seeking an interpretative model, try to identify a series of differences between the FFE and NPD, aligning the phases and defining the contents, but with poor results: the two processes are characterized by a completely different nature, so the categories used to describe and assess the product development phase are in no way similar to the fuzzy nature of the first phase of the design process (Table 2.1).…”

“…The process of Product Innovation (PI) is usually divided into the process of Preparation for Product Development (PPD), the process of New Product Development (NPD) and the process of Product Commercialization (PC) [11]. Preparation of Product Development (PPD) [12] (in the literature is often seen as the Fuzzy-Front End (FFE) [13] or Front-End of Innovation (FEI) [11]) precedes the formal process of product development (NPD) [11,14,15].…”

“…Preparation of Product Development (PPD) [12] (in the literature is often seen as the Fuzzy-Front End (FFE) [13] or Front-End of Innovation (FEI) [11]) precedes the formal process of product development (NPD) [11,14,15]. The main activities during the PPD are: identification and assessment of business opportunities, creation, evaluation and selection of ideas, and the development and testing of new product concepts [11,16,17,18]. Because of the crucial importance of new, creative ideas for the success of product innovation, the management of ideas is imposed as extremely important, and, according to some authors, a key process during the preparation of product development [7,10,14,19].…”

Original scientific paper The competitiveness of the economy to a large extent depends on its ability to innovate. There is a consensus between researchers and business practices on the high importance of innovation management process, particularly in the earliest stage when it is necessary to identify business opportunities and find the best possibilities for their realizations. In the process of innovation management, many authors emphasize the critical role of idea management and efficient ways of creating, gathering, evaluation, promotion, selection, and implementation of ideas. As part of the research project "Models and methods of knowledge management in product development", by the Croatian Ministry of science, education and sport, a survey was conducted on a sample of Croatian companies which have product development in their production process. The conducted survey attempted to determine the situation in the area of product innovation, as well as in the field of innovation and idea management in the economy and to compare data with best practices. The collected data show when and how the ideas are collected, which motives and purposes are drivers for the collection of ideas and how companies are organized and trained for this demanding job. This paper presents the results of the survey, which suggest ways to improve product development, and sources and methods of collecting ideas. Publication of the outcome of this and other research on product innovation aims to spread the knowledge about this very important but under-explored area. Keywords: front-end of innovation; idea management; idea evaluation and selection; innovation management; product development Upravljanje idejama u procesu inovacije proizvoda -rezultati empirijskog istraživanjaIzvorni znanstveni članak Konkurentnost gospodarstva u značajnoj mjeri ovisi o njegovoj sposobnosti da uvodi inovacije. Između istraživača i poslovne prakse postoji suglasnost o velikoj važnosti procesa upravljanja inovacijama, osobito u najranijoj fazi kada je potrebno prepoznati poslovne prilike i pronaći najbolje mogućnosti za njihovu realizaciju. U procesu upravljanja inovacijama, mnogi autori ističu presudnu ulogu upravljanja idejama, odnosno učinkovitog načina stvaranja, prikupljanja, vrednovanja, unapređenja, selekcije i implementacije ideja. U okviru znanstvenog projekta "Modeli i metode upravljanja znanjem u razvoju proizvoda", MZOS RH, provedena je anketa na uzorku hrvatskih tvrtki koje u svom proizvodnom programu imaju razvoj proizvoda. Provedenom anketom pokušalo se odrediti stanje na području inovacije proizvoda, te na području upravljanja inovacijama i upravljanja idejama u gospodarstvu i usporediti podatke s podacima najbolje prakse. Obradom prikupljenih podataka ustanovljeno je kako i kada se ideje prikupljaju, koji motivi i potrebe su pokretači za prikupljanje ideja te kako su tvrtke organizirane i osposobljene za taj zahtjevni posao. U ovom radu prikazani su rezultati provedene ankete, koji ukazuju na načine unapređenja i razvoja proizvoda, te izvor...
