One of the methods for proposing new development themes is the “alpha idea creation method”. The “alpha idea creation method” consists of four stages. that is: 1) “Individual work” in which an individual freely creates ideas, 2) “group work” in which Create a functional tree map, grouping or hierarchically ideas obtained in individual work, 3) “bird's-eye work” apply an existing patent to the classification of three functional tree maps, and create a functional bird's-eye map that represents the correspondence between ideas and known technologies, 4) “Proposal work” to identify the attack point by adding the strength of the company and the market environment to the bird's-eye map, and after thoroughly developing the idea. The “alpha idea creation method” contrasts with the publicly known technology, and finally the company's Unlike general methods based on “analysis of existing patents”, this method is based on “concepts” that are not confined to existing frameworks. It can be said that this is the feature of the “alpha idea creation method”. In this research, we practice the “alpha idea creation method” for the purpose of “proposing a new development theme “with” biodegradable plastic” as a subject, and at each stage up to proposing “sustained release termite control agent” Report on the points to keep in mind.
