Knowledge innovation spiral in the product development process

Abstract

Abstract: Product development is knowledge innovation activities,and it can be divided into four phases—creative discovery, concept prototype, product R&D, and organizational innovation. The knowledge innovation mechanism combined with individual, team, organization, and cross-organizational levels in product development process is analyzed, the correspondence between product development stage and knowledge creative activity is pointed out. Individual knowledge innovation plays an important role for product development, and "gradual enlightenment" and "sudden enlightenment" phenomena of individual knowledge innovation are analyzed, finally, a knowledge innovation model of the product development process is built, a dual-spiral-SECI model of knowledge innovation in product development process is proposed. The findings enrich the existing researches and provide useful guidelines for managerial practice.

Key words: product development, knowledge innovation, knowledge spiral, knowledge main body
