Interpreting Design Thinking

摘要

The papers for this Special Issue have been selected from those presented to the 8th Design Thinking Research Symposium (DTRS8), which was hosted by the University of Technology Sydney in October, 2010. The topic for discussion was the growing popularity of Design Thinking within sectors outside the design professions. In the business world, in particular, 'Design Thinking' has become a buzzword, with a number of recent texts arguing for the strategic potential of a Design Thinking approach to management and entrepreneurial business innovation (Brown, 2009; Martin, 2009; Verganti, 2009).
