“…Relatedly, the cluster contains an essential paper by Liedtka (2020) which theorises the role of DT as a technology facilitator and as a kind of social technology, a perspective which acknowledges innovation as a "shared process and ties it to human emotions and the complex ways people intersect and solutions emerge" (p. 54). The cluster also includes several papers on how DT can aid in reaching sustainability goals (e.g., de Waal and Maritz, 2022;Santa-Maria et al, 2022).…”

“…Within, these works put great emphasis on cocreation, multi-stakeholder engagement and empowerment across quadruple helix-academia, industry, public bodies, civil society, and citizens, together with the use of digital technologies. Second, educators and businesses use DT tools and principles to prompt conversations and create solutions to meet sustainability goals (de Waal and Maritz, 2022;Santa-Maria et al, 2022).…”

Design thinking capabilities in the digital world: A bibliometric analysis of emerging trends

2023

Recent research suggests that design thinking practices may foster the development of needed capabilities in new digitalised landscapes. However, existing publications represent individual contributions, and we lack a holistic understanding of the value of design thinking in a digital world. No review, to date, has offered a holistic retrospection of this research. In response, in this bibliometric review, we aim to shed light on the intellectual structure of multidisciplinary design thinking literature related to capabilities relevant to the digital world in higher education and business settings, highlight current trends and suggest further studies to advance theoretical and empirical underpinnings. Our study addresses this aim using bibliometric methods—bibliographic coupling and co-word analysis as they are particularly suitable for identifying current trends and future research priorities at the forefront of the research. Overall, bibliometric analyses of the publications dealing with the related topics published in the last 10 years (extracted from the Web of Science database) expose six trends and two possible future research developments highlighting the expanding scope of the design thinking scientific field related to capabilities required for the (more sustainable and human-centric) digital world. Relatedly, design thinking becomes a relevant approach to be included in higher education curricula and human resources training to prepare students and workers for the changing work demands. This paper is well-suited for education and business practitioners seeking to embed design thinking capabilities in their curricula and for design thinking and other scholars wanting to understand the field and possible directions for future research.

“…Design thinking is an approach to innovation and creative problem solving [18] focusing on the user's needs and experiences, which provide valuable insights that guide innovation and development [19]. Design thinking aims to match the users' needs with solutions that are feasible and align with the business strategy to create customer value and market opportunity [18].…”

“…Consequently, design thinking has been implemented in various fields, including product and service innovations [21]. Other characteristics of design thinking include, but are not limited to, the themes of problem framing, user focus, visualization, experimentation and diversity, observation, collaboration, fast learning, rapid concept prototyping and experimentation [18].…”

“…Therefore, the tools used in this context include questionnaires and interviews aimed at inducing users to communicate their needs [20]. Then is followed by the ideation stage, where potential alternatives are generated [18], and a prototype is created. Lastly, the implementation stage focuses on testing and implementing the solutions in the real world [22].…”

Airports worldwide have been disrupted by several factors, including, but not limited to, competition between significant airport hubs, emerging technologies, outbreaks such as SARS and COVID-19, and the Ukraine conflict. Consequently, airports must redesign their passenger experience to successfully execute airport operations despite ongoing disruption. To cope with the challenges discussed above, several authors have suggested that design thinking is a problem-solving approach that can be employed. This paper is guided by the research question: How can airport employees utilize design thinking to design a better service in the post-COVID-19 era? It is envisaged that this paper will provide a unique perspective on airport design thinking and propose an agenda for future research.

Essential innovation capability of producer‐service enterprises towards circular business model: Motivators and barriers

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The current linear model inherent to the linear economy within the industry cannot continue its operations due to the high contribution towards environmental damage. To address this matter, the circular economy and the circular business models as environmental solutions for organizations will be capable of bringing business profit. Unfortunately, few studies have shed light on the types of capabilities and innovation required to produce the change to circular business models since these updates will lead to significant opportunities and challenges for enterprises. Thus, this research explores the factors that strengthen and hamper producer‐service enterprises' innovation capability to implement circular business model. The study applied the fuzzy Delphi method and grey‐based DEMATEL approaches to identify the most influential factors and the casual relationships among them towards circular business model implementation within the service sector. The research results indicated 10 main drivers and barriers related to circular business model implementation based on the fuzzy Delphi method. The contributions of this study can be used as a guide for producer‐service enterprises and other parties involved in policy‐making and shed light on the applications of business model innovations in general.
