News Finding: Understanding the process, they say, may provide a road map for speeding up innovation.
Paper Finding: Inter-rater reliability, assessed by comparing the primary and secondary coder's codes for approximately 1 h worth of transcript, was acceptable, at (Cohen's kappa) k = .77.

Paper Context: One Hundred and forty-four analogies were found across the two transcripts (79 in the first and 65 in the second), with all designers contributing analogies at approximately the same rate, commensurate with their level of participation in the meetings overall (correlation between number of analogy and nonanalogy utterances across designers was high, r = .72). Inter-rater reliability, assessed by comparing the primary and secondary coder's codes for approximately 1 h worth of transcript, was acceptable, at (Cohen's kappa) k = .77. Of the 144 analogies found, 16% were coded as near, and 84% were coded as far.
