  • Case Studies of Creativity in Innovative Product Development
    REVISED VERSION March 93 (Discard previous version) Case Studies of Creativity in Innovative Product Development Robin Roy Design Discipline, Faculty of Technology, The Open University, Milton Keynes MK7 6AA, UK. Keywords: design, product development, creativity, innovations 1 INTRODUCTION Case Studies of creative designers and innovators can reveal much useful understanding and insight into: • the product development process; • the role of creative thinking in product development, where creative design ideas come from and how they are developed into working products; • the problems faced by designers and inventors in getting novel products on to the market as commercial innovations. This paper examines some of these questions through case studies of creative individuals who have invented, designed, developed and introduced innovative products. The individuals and products are: • James Dyson, an inventor, entrepreneur and product designer, and his innovative designs of wheelbarrow and vacuum cleaner; • Mark Sanders, a product designer and design consultant, and his novel design of folding bicycle. 2 In addition brief comparison is made between these cases and similar examples of innovative mechanical products created by other individual inventor/designers. These are cases of designers and innovators either working alone or in a small consultancy business and the focus is on how creative individuals conceive ideas and develop them. Nevertheless, the insights into the creative process provided by these cases are also relevant to the characteristics and practices of designers and engineers working in large R & D and design teams. 2 RESEARCH METHOD The case studies were developed using a similar research method. This first involved background research on the products and inventor/designers concerned, using published articles, patents, etc., followed by preliminary interviews with the individuals.
