MEASURING DESIGN THINKING MINDSET (2018, methodology): “…were careful in differentiating among papers that explained “design thinking” as a thinking process of design science where the focus is on the cognitive understanding versus the ones explicitly mentioning “design thinking” as a method for innovation, as applied in Fraser (2011) and Liedtka (2000).”
Theoretical reflections on agile development methodologies (2007, background): “Design thinking, according to [5], should be “synthetic” (integrating multiple worldviews), “adductive” (imagining and preparing for a preferred future state), “hypothesis-driven” (conceptually enacting “what-if” and “if-then” scenarios), “opportunistic” (alerting to evolving prospects), “dialectica”
Corporate Social Strategy in Multinational Enterprises: Antecedents and Value Creation (2007, background): “Although strategy may be planned or unplanned, deliberate or emergent (Ansoff, 1991; Mintzberg, 1990), our research into the management of firm social action, distinguishes between those firms that deliberately design and measure social action program from those that do not (Liedtka, 2000).”
The Need for Design Thinking in Business Schools (2014, background): “While Mintzberg (1994) labeled the top-down, planning-based approach as the “Design School,” design thinking is actually very much in line with the flexible, adaptive approach he advocated (Liedtka, 2000).”
Thinking about “design thinking”: a study of teacher experiences (2016, methodology): “Design thinking methods and processes can also be applicable to managing change (Dunne & Martin, 2006; Liedtka, 2000).”
Perspective: Linking Design Thinking with Innovation Outcomes through Cognitive Bias Reduction (2015, background): ““That scientists discover the laws that govern today’s reality, while designers invent a different future is a common theme,” Liedtka (2000) noted in her review of this literature.”
