Requirements Analysis in Disruptive Engineering Solutions Using the Paradigm of Living Systems

A particular characteristic of disruptive products is in reengineering advanced technologies for addressing the needs of low-end consumers and/or non-consumers, to transform them into new consumers. This requires a lean co-creative analysis of requirements with all stakeholders involved. Even if a t...
