Abstract:
Design Thinking (DT) has been heralded as a well-suited methodology in encouraging innovation and economic growth. Although DT has been studied in many research areas, no systematic research effort has been made on aggregating evidence from the Design Studies Journal to understand the evolution of DT from the last ten years. This study aims to analyse the evolution and benefits of research on Design Thinking in the Design Studies Journal from 2006 to October 2015. The findings provide a deep understanding of past research and uncovered many challenges that might be addressed in the future.
