Abstract: Design thinking is an analytic and creative process in which a person is encouraged to experiment,
create and prototype models, gather feedback, and redesign. The literature has identified several
characteristics (e.g., visualisation, creativity) that a good design thinker should have. Design and design
thinking have been recognised as valuable contributions to business and management, and the number of
higher education programmes teaching design thinking to business students, managers, and executives is
increasing. Multiple definitions of design thinking, as well as a variety of perspectives, have led to some
confusion about possible paths. Design, like problem solving, is a natural and widespread human activity. A
design process begins with a need and discontent with the present situation, as well as a determination that
something must be done to fix the problem. Many scientists, in this opinion, have been creating and behaving
as designers throughout their careers, while not always being aware of or realising that they are doing so..
I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Frameworks Theoretical
Design entails intentional behaviour aimed at achieving certain objectives and the production of solutions. Design can be
used to solve a problem that affects a single person or a group of people. Design is not seen as a privilege reserved for a
select few in the field of design. On the contrary, “we all can, and do, design and that we can learn to design better” (Lawson,
2006, p. vii). Within the academic discipline of design, the notion of design thinking has been of central importance for
more than thirty years.
Design thinking can be described as “a discipline that uses the designer’s sensibility and methods to match people’s needs
with what is technologically feasible and what a viable business strategy can convert into customer value and market
opportunity” (Brown, 2009, p. 86). Design thinking is generally referred to as “applying a designer’s sensibility and methods
to problem solving, no matter what the problem is a methodology for problem solving and enablement” (Lockwood,2010,
p. xi). More recently, design thinking has moved from product and process design to a key factor in company strategy
(Bucolo & Matthews, 2010; Carlopio 2009).
To a large extent, stories and case studies of work done by design firms such as IDEO, which have been working in new
product development for decades, have popularised the concept of design and design thinking in the business literature
(Brown, 2008, 2009; Hargadon & Sutton, 1997). In these cases, design thinking is widely understood as a human-centered
approach to innovation that includes inspiration, ideation, and implementation in a cyclical and iterative manner that
includes prototyping, building to think, using stories, and having an inspired and inspiring culture (Brown, 2008).
The goal here is to identify the optimum solution given the available skills, time, and resources. It is assumed that design
will need the creation of new possibilities. A decision attitude, in contrast to a design attitude, stimulates new possibilities
by the management as an idea producer. "A design mindset views each project as an opportunity for creativity that includes
a questioning of underlying assumptions and a desire to leave the world a better place than we found it," according to Boland
and Collopy (2004).
The benefits of design thinking in terms of issue formulation, techniques, solution processes, reasoning, and outcomes are
highlighted in Glen et al(2014) .'s comparison of rational-analytical thinking and design thinking approaches. The generative
aspect of design thinking in producing new solutions is not restricted to corporate contexts, and there is a large body of
literature on the topic of social innovation. Brown and Wyatt (2010), for example, demonstrated how design thinking may
generate hundreds of ideas and, eventually, real-world solutions that benefit organisations and the people they serve.
Integrative thinking is a term used to explain design thinking applied to company strategy and change (Cooper, Junginger,
& Lockwood 2010; Martin, 2009). This method of design thinking focuses on innovation and business transformation, as
well as the identification of unmet needs and possibilities, as well as the creation of new visions and scenarios. The capacity
to collect fresh information is a key component of design thinking, however practitioners may use different techniques and
tools (Bucolo & Matthews, 2010). The strategic usefulness of design thinking will, however, be determined by combining
design tools with a thorough grasp of organisational innovation.
III. METHODOLOGY
The research was carried out using Internet search engines, business literature, and research papers.spanning a number of
colleges, into educational programmes, courses, and units, as well as course content to look at how design and design
thinking are taught to students in business schools all across the world. Some information was available in various formats
on the internet. For instance, a unit is frequently A summary was published online to summarise briefly what learning goals
were assessed and how they were assessed. However, in a few small situations, the scope of the programme and its week-
by-week learning activities were disclosed online. Many searches necessitated making direct contact with the institution to
learn more about the program's curriculum and activities. By examining programme content and concentrating on foreign
business schools, The following outcomes were achieved using multidisciplinary units that included business.
Over the course of four weeks, two types of searches were undertaken to gather information on design and business and
management courses. Degrees and courses in innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as general management and education
programmes, were investigated at foreign and Australian institutions. Professionals in the field were also contacted to
confirm the nature and correctness of our results.
The following are some of the design categories:
Human-Centered Design (HCD) is a term that refers to the Human-Centered Design is described as a design approach
that prioritises people or consumers and their requirements over specific technological constraints. Innovation happens when
business, technology, and people collide, resulting in dramatic, new experience innovation. The user is the one who decides
whether or not a product or service should exist. This approach is backed up by design firms like IDEO and the Stanford D-
school, who define design thinking as a specialised way for non-designers to evaluate and use design processes.
Integrative Decision-Making
The capacity to actively confront the contradictions between conflicting models and, rather than choosing one at the expense
of the other, to provide a creative resolution of the tension in the shape of a new model that incorporates components from
both but outperforms them both.
Management of Design
A paradigm for design as a differentiator, integrator, and transformer, as well as excellent business, was developed based
on research on design-oriented European small and medium companies (SMEs).
Design as a Plan
This area is still evolving and has a lot of room for improvement. It combines human-centered design ideas and processes
with strategy components such as Porter's activity maps (Armistead & Clark, 1993) to provide a whole-of-organization
approach to design as a strategic and operational process with the goal of achieving long-term competitive advantage.
Design thinking is a problem-solving method based on a set of abilities. The method has been around for decades, but it
only gained popularity outside of the design industry until Tim Brown, CEO and president of design firm IDEO, published
a Harvard Business Review essay titled "Design Thinking" in 2008.
Since then, the design thinking method has been used to create new goods and services, as well as to solve a variety of
challenges, ranging from designing a business strategy for selling solar panels in Africa to running Airbnb.At a high level,
the processes in the design thinking process are straightforward: first, fully comprehend the problem; second, investigate a
wide variety of potential solutions; third, iterate widely through prototyping and testing; and finally, implement using
standard deployment techniques.
The abilities connected with these processes enable people to use creativity to address real-world challenges more
successfully than they would otherwise. They are simple to learn, but they need work. Setting aside your own prejudices,
for example, is critical when attempting to grasp a subject, but it's difficult.
For creating alternative answers, creative brainstorming is vital, yet many individuals don't do it very effectively. It is also
vital to engage in modelling, analysis, prototyping, and testing throughout the process, as well as to truly learn from these
numerous iterations.
The capacity of practitioners to accept new understanding that skills and equipment may vary is an essential aspect of
design thinking. The strategic value of design thinking, on the other hand, is defined by a combination of the application of
design tools and a thorough grasp of organisational innovation.The difficulties of innovation To be successful, the
innovation process must deliver three things: superior solutions, reduced risk and change costs, and employee buy-
in.Therefore, through time, businesspeople have evolved the ability to make fully informed decisions in order to attain those
goals. However, when attempting to implement it, businesses typically face additional challenges and trade-offs. What is
the distinction between problem-based and solution-based thinking? Solution-based thinking, as the name implies, focuses
on finding solutions; coming up with something constructive to successfully address an issue. Problem-based thinking, on
the other hand, is prone to fixating on roadblocks and restrictions.
effort to comprehend how and why they do things, their bodily and emotional needs, and how they communicate They
consider the world and what is important to them.
In terms of thoughts and consequences, it symbolises a mental process of "going broad." Ideation is both the raw material
and the fuel for prototyping and bringing creative ideas into the hands of your people.
and incorporate it into their daily lives Create a scenario in a place that captures the true circumstances for an experience. If
in-person testing isn't an option, create a more realistic scenario by having people assume a role or task while approaching
your prototype. Always prototype as if you're sure you're right, but test as if you're sure you're wrong—testing is your chance
to fine-tune and improve your ideas.
and human-centered design, the two most common approaches to creating human-computer interfaces. Design thinking is
also at the heart of newer approaches to software development in general.
VIII. CONCLUSION
This appears to be a characteristic of design thinking that develops through time as a result of education and experience
in the field. Building experience in a certain domain, for example, helps designers to rapidly recognise a problem and provide
a solution. Design talent is typically characterised as generating, synthesising, and assessing a solution. According to certain
studies, creative and productive design behaviour is linked to frequent switching between forms of cognitive activity.
Designers should be able to swiftly analyse the circumstances of a particular situation and change their activities in
accordance with the current set of requirements.
Students who are taught to think like designers may be better prepared to deal with tough situations and solve complicated
challenges in school, in their jobs, and in life. Current educational methods, on the other hand, are often based on out-of-
date learning and pedagogy ideas, as indicated by a so-called content obsession.
Researchers interested in assessing and promoting design thinking have a wide selection of experimental research to choose
from, all of which can yield valuable results. Researchers may, for example, look at the impact of the design thinking process
on various learning outcomes.
They can also look at the impact of various activities and their complexity on improving design thinking abilities, which
are thought to improve students' learning outcomes.
It would also be fascinating to see if design thinking abilities may help students study more effectively. In other words,
design thinking ability may act as a mediator, clarifying the nature of the link between an independent variable (e.g.,
problem-solving ability) and a dependent variable (e.g., problem-solving ability) (e.g., math test scores). Rather of assuming
a direct causal association between problem-solving ability and math test results, we may speculate that problem-solving
ability improves design thinking ability, which leads to higher math scores.
There is considerable empirical work to be done to establish a full understanding of design thinking. In today’s economy,
employers want people who can learn over time and solve complex problems (Belkin, 2015). Business schools have been
criticized for not adequately preparing students for the complex, rapidly changing businesses environment they will face
(Glen, Suciu, & Baughn, 2014). Recently, Dunne and Martin (2006), Glen et al. (2014), and others (Kurtmollaiev, Pedersen,
Fjuk, & Kvale, 2018; Razzouk & Shute, 2012) have argued that design thinking offers business schools a means of
addressing their perceived deficits (e.g., too lecture and case focused, inadequate opportunities to learn by doing, over
reliance on rational analysis). Design thinking, which emphasizes the user need, delays search for the solution until the user
need is understood, encourages learning through iterative prototyping and feedback, and embraces a bias towards action,
offers a complementary approach to the rational/analytical problem-solving methods typically emphasized in business
schools. Today design thinking is recognized and embraced as a successful problem-solving method, a method which melds
an end-user focus with multidisciplinary collaboration and iterative experimentation to achieve desirable, user-friendly, and
economically viable solutions or innovations (Brown, 2008; Dunne & Martin, 2006; Meinel & Leifer, 2012). Thus, the
integration of design thinking into business school curricula, whether in a single course or across the curriculum, may help
students develop the creative and critical thinking skills needed to solve complex problems (Dodd, 2014; Kurtmollaiev et
al., 2018; Razzouk & Shute, 2012).
