Marketing - Management
German term or phrase: Reizfragen
• Anhand der folgenden sieben Methoden werden die Ideen differenziert.
Das bedeutet, Bestehendes wird verändert und verbessert

• Jede der folgenden Methoden enthält ***Reizfragen *** (Trigger), die exemplarisch bei jeder Methode angeführt sind.

• Die Methoden und ihre zentralen Fragestellungen:

- (1) Ersetzen?

- (2) Kombinieren?

- (3) Übertragen?

- (4) Vergrößern?

- (5) Anderer Verwendungszweck?

- (6) Verkleinern? Eliminieren?

- ( 7) Umstrukturieren? Vertauschen?’


Es handelt sich um das sogenannte SCAMPER-Prinzip zur Ideenbearbeitung. Gibt es für "Reizfragen" einen festgelegten Terminus im Englischen oder wird das einfach umschreiben? Meine Recherchen haben bis jetzt nur "directed questions" ergeben. Bin für jede Hilfe dankbar.

agree  Geoff Browne (X): or how about "teaser questions"? "Brainteaser" might be more suggestive of newspaper puzzles etc.

  -> Appreciate your feedback. Preferred usage in a job interview or an aptitude testing context seems to be 'brainteaser questions'.

Oops, sorry! I mean, google for:

Funny! Looks like there's a bug: Twice I keyed in "scamper technique" and "idea-spurring questions" in quotes (=double inverted commas) with a plus sign between them, but it appears on the screen in single inverted commas and the plus sign is missing.

I repeat: Please google for "scamper technique" and "idea-spurring questions" in quotes (=double inverted commas) with a plus sign between them.

Thanks.
