    Reconciling Conflicting Theories -- 3hrs lecture & presentation

    Complex research areas tend to be associated with two or more conflicting theories, each offers its unique explanation to the data at hand. Progress must happen before those competing theories sort themselves out. The Universal Theory of Innovation developed a procedure to achieve a reconciliation of all non-frivolous theories to exploit the 'grain of truth' in each of them. The procedure is explained for self application.

    Target Audience: Researchers and developers of topics and issues where the underlying theory is in doubt.

    Your benefit: Immediately applicable innovation procedures (no additional software or books to buy).

    Offered by: The Innovation Appraisal Group, Case Western University
