description | Product innovation is a robust approach for enterprises to acquire and maintain a competitive edge. In order to support the development of enterprise product innovation, it is essential to establish an innovation pathway. Grounded in a modular perspective and considering the product innovation process, this study segments the process into product demand analysis, product module partitioning, product innovation opportunity recognition, and product innovation design. Consequently, an integrated product innovation pathway is constructed by incorporating relevant innovation theories and methodologies, encompassing the innovation process, theory, and methods. The feasibility and efficacy of this research are validated through a case study of a large aircraft assembly line, indicating that this approach effectively bolsters product innovation development and holds practical significance. |
