Ideenschmiede

What influence does knowledge have on ideas, ideas on innovations and innovations on business success?

This master's thesis not only examines the relationships listed, but also in particular how they can be promoted. To this end, an analysis of the current state of knowledge and innovation management was carried out at the industrial company KNIPEX and, based on this, a concept for optimization was both developed and introduced. Of particular importance here is which forms of knowledge are relevant for product ideas and how their linking promotes the creative process.

The software-based platform solution as a tool, supplemented by a catalog of recommendations for the associated innovation culture, improves collaboration, transparency, knowledge availability and organization at the pliers manufacturer and reduces redundancies. This approach and the promotion of interdisciplinary exchange fills the innovation funnel with more ideas and makes it more effective.
