Abstract

This chapter introduces two approaches to creating ideas. One is idea generation based on systematized knowledge, and the other is idea generation through people’s discussion using creative technologies. The former is the systems thinking approach, and this chapter first discusses the creation of ideas by simulation and risk analysis based on a mathematical model, a systematized knowledge. Then, it introduces the knowledge construction diagram for integrating or synthesizing different types of ideas. The latter is the knowledge management approach to idea creation. Idea creation is a task that all integrative knowledge technologies emphasize. Frameworks for producing ideas that lead to innovation are being developed one after another.
