idea screening
(noun)
the process of testing concepts and eliminating unsound ones
Examples of idea screening in the following topics:
-
Screening
- Idea screening attempts to eliminate unsound product concepts prior to devoting resources to them.
- Idea screening is an early step in the new product development process and is a critical part of the development activity.
- If a poor product idea is allowed to pass the screening state, it wastes effort and money in subsequent stages until it is later abandoned.
- However, the possibility of screening out a worthwhile idea is even more serious, There are two common techniques for screening new product ideas.
- Explain how product developers use a simple checklist and assign weights of importance in order to best screen ideas
-
Following a Product Development Process
- Product development is idea generation, screening, business analysis, technical development, manufacturing, testing, and commercialization.
- Generating new product ideas is a creative task that requires a specific way of thinking.
- The second step in the product development process is screening.
- After the various product ideas survive their initial screening, very few viable proposals will remain.
- A product that has passed the screening and business analysis stages is ready for technical and marketing development.
-
Screening
- For example, of the 5,000 drug ideas that go through the screening process of the Federal Drug Administration, only 10 end up getting approved, and of these only 3 become profitable.
- The objective of the screening stage is to eliminate unsound concepts prior to devoting resources to them.
- The screening step is a critical part of the new product development process.
- Two problems that may arise during the screening stage are the acceptance of a poor product idea, and the rejection of a viable product idea.
- There are two common techniques for screening new product ideas.
-
Developing Products
- Ideas to fill these consumer needs are brainstormed.
- When brainstorming, any and all ideas are valid and should be considered thoroughly.
- Idea screening – Once all of the ideas are on the board, the screening process can begin.
- Screening revolves around identifying which products best align with the target market and the need being filled, along with the technical feasibility and potential profitability of producing it.
- Idea development and testing – In this phase, the organization focuses on identifying marketing and engineering needs for production.

Slideshows
- A slideshow is an on-screen presentation of information and/or ideas presented using overhead projectors, photos, or presentation software.
- A slideshow is an on-screen presentation of information and/or ideas presented on slides.
- Before the advent of motion pictures, slides originally were projected onto a theater screen by magic lanterns.
- Some key features useful in desktop or cloud-based presentation software include screen capturing, image editing and annotation tools, and slide transition and text effects.
-
Drug Screening
- In Maryland, drug testing laws make it possible to screen for drugs using a hair specimen for pre-employment purposes only.
- No person really likes the idea that he or she is in any way suspected of such activity.
- There are two kinds of employment drug testing: pre-employment drug screening and publish-employment drug testing.
- Comparing it with the automatic process undergone by everyone in federal service will help clarify the importance of having "clean" employees, as the idea of impaired FBI agents is clearly problematic to all.
- Most employees feel the purpose of drug screening is to identify people doing something illegal off duty and then punish them.
-
Antibiotics and Selective Toxicity
- He then proposed the idea that it might be possible to create chemicals that would act as a selective drug that would bind to and kill bacteria without harming the human host.
- After screening hundreds of dyes against various organisms, he discovered a medicinally useful drug, the synthetic antibacterial Salvarsan now called arsphenamine.
- Useful antibiotics are often discovered using a screening process.
- To conduct such a screen, isolates of many different microorganisms are cultured and then tested for production of diffusible products that inhibit the growth of test organisms .
- Most antibiotics identified in such a screen are already known and must therefore be disregarded.
-
Benefits of Globalization
- Globalization has lead to valuable, world-wide cross-cultural understanding and the fruitful exchange of products and ideas.
- The international exchange of both goods and ideas has resulted in an ever-increasing opportunity for people to explore and appreciate the diversity of world culture.
- While one area may excel in producing the semiconductor for your phone, another area might excel in crafting your touch screen, and so on.
-
Silkscreen Printing
- In screen printing, each color must be printed separately and needs a separate stencil and/or screen.
- Currently, synthetic threads are commonly used in the screen printing process.
- There are special-use mesh materials of nylon and stainless steel available to the screen printer.
- Screen printing is an efficient and popular way to print a wide array of materials.
- As a result, screen printing is used in many different industries.
-
Development
- Once a potential product has passed the screening and business analysis stages, it goes onto the technical and marketing development stage.
- The product concept is a synthesis or a description of a product idea that reflects the core element of the proposed product.
- The second aspect of market development involves consumer testing of the product idea.
