Ebook: Design thinking: understand - improve - apply

"In this book, the researchers take a system's view that begins with a demand for deep, evidence-based understanding of design thinking phenomena. They continue with an exploration of tools which can help improve the adaptive expertise needed for design thinking. The final part of the book concerns design thinking in information technology and its relevance for business process modeling and agile software development, i.e. real world creation and deployment of products, services, and enterprise systems."--Provided by publisher.;Design thinking research / Christoph Meinel and Larry Leifer -- Design thinking : a fruitful concept for IT development? / Tilmann Lindberg, Christoph Meinel, and Ralf Wagner -- A unified innovation process model for engineering designers and managers / Philipp Skogstad and Larry Leifer -- Product differentiation by aesthetic and creative design : a psychological and neural framework of design thinking / Martin Reimann and Oliver Schilke -- Re-representation : affordances of shared models in team-based design / Jonathan Edelman and Rebecca Currano -- The co-evolution of theory and practice in design thinking, or, Mind the oddness trap! / Julia von Thienen, Christine Noweski, Christoph Meinel, and Ingo Rauth -- Innovation and culture : exploring the work of designers across the globe / Pamela Hinds and Joachim Lyon -- The efficacy of prototyping under time constraints / Steven P.
