Summary:The paper describes a novel method for computer aided strategic
concept formation in the early stage of product development. This method
combines interactive evolutionary computing (IEC) and machine learning
techniques. It enables the user to generate a creative and well-grounded
product concept based on marketing strategy, while also stimulating the
user to clarify the product concept idea he/she had in mind. The system
called BICSS was developed based on this method. The proposed method has
been qualitatively validated by a case study
