Abstract:
Currently, the device development process for assisting disabled dogs does not provide the best performance and there are only few product developments. This research aims to develop an innovation development process for dogs with two disables hind legs, especially dogs in Thailand, which can be domestically produced domestically and can meet the needs of users at an appropriate price. Research methodology is divided into 4 steps: literature review and framework building, action research, innovation product acceptance and satisfaction test, and test of better life qualify of dogs with two disabled hind legs. This research proposes a 5D model for innovation development process for dogs with two disabled hind legs, which includes Discovery, Definition, Design, Development and Deployment. This 5-D process is useful for the developers in producing the quality of product development. The results showed that innovation development processes for dogs with two disabled hind legs in both case studies are similar. In order to build an effective development, the critical success factor is a new mutual work in creating an innovation development of such product for public veterinary hospitals, business owners, and associations that support disabled dogs. The finding is important for management of organization strategies regarding the innovation development process for relevant industries.
