- Abstract
- Background When making business-critical decisions in future consumer innovations, very few methods have a true influence on stakeholders. A well-known weakness of current future innovation methods is the lack of multidisciplinary resonance since a true future innovation does not carry consumption data – inductive reasonings - nor predefined patterns of consumption – deductive reasonings - as primary sources. As a result of not being able to acquire future decisions early on, companies with insufficient lead time have challenges in planning and realizing future innovations. Methods To promote and influence multidisciplinary stakeholders’ decision making, a future innovation process was composed featuring a full cycle of three types of reasoning: deductive, inductive, and abductive. Based on unpaired groups of concepts generated from the proposed process and a general process in comparison, the conclusive effectiveness of the processes was evaluated by industry experts in terms of innovation decision readiness. Results The proposed innovation process resulted in improvements in the levels of assurance, structuredness and decision influence. However, there had been a compromise in the level of objectivity due to reduced immediate empathy. Conclusions By structuring a process to reinforce the articulation and defensibility of the appropriation of future innovation based on diverse reasonings in a multidisciplinary context, the proposed process has shown improvements in key attributes of the outcomes that contribute to decision making in future innovations, while simultaneously allowing more lead time due to early decisions independent of prior references or emerging signs of consumption. ©This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/), which permits unrestricted educational and non-commercial use, provided the original work is properly cited.
