The Influence of Distinct Emotions on Idea Evaluation and Selection in Innovation Management
Year: 2020
Type: dissertation
Abstract: After being marginalized for the first half of the past century, research on emotional influences on decision making has drastically picked up pace over the past decades.Even though these emotional influence have been transferred to economic decision making, research on emotions in innovation management still broadly lacks research.Especially in organizational backgrounds dealing with idea evaluation and selection emotions have been widely ignored.This thesis uses a structured literature review to inductively conceptualize a framework, which demonstrates the influence of emotions on idea evaluation and selection in innovation management.Further, it gives a comprehensive overview on how emotions can be quantified and artificial intelligence can support the underlying measure process to verify the framework.This thesis contributes to the emerging research field of emotional influence on decision making in innovation management.More specifically, it introduces a conceptual framework, illustrating cognitive pathways of distinct emotions and their possible influence on idea evaluation and selection, derived from previous literature.
