Supporting Innovation by Promoting Analogical Reasoning
內容大綱
While there are many roads to innovation, there is reason to believe that it often arises from the adaptation of known solutions to new problem domains. The good news is that people have a remarkable facility to make analogies - to notice similarities between domains that, on the surface, are not much alike. The authors argue that this ability to make analogical inferences is crucial to problem solving. When solving any new problem, the problem statement is only a partial match to the known solutions; the key to analogical problem solving is to find known problems that have the same structure as the problem being solved. The authors describe how to improve our 'analogical retrieval' and provide several tools for analogical innovation.
