Description
Das Forschungsgebiet Design Thinking beschäftigt sich mit Methoden zur Erhöhung der Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit von Innovationen in Unternehmen. Die Methode Design Thinking stammt von der Stanford University in Palo Alto, Kalifornien. Seit 2005 wird sie am Lehrstuhl von Prof. Dr. Walter Brenner erfolgreich eingesetzt. Die Methode basiert auf hoher Kundenorientierung, dem Bau von Prototypen und gezieltem und wohl organisiertem Brainstorming. Viele Projekte, die mit Hilfe von Design Thinking bearbeitet wurden, gehen weit über die Grenzen der klassischen Wirtschaftsinformatik hinaus und führen zu Produkt- und Dienstleistungsinnovationen

PublicationDesign Thinking and Corporate Entrepreneurship: an exploratory study(Design Management Institute Boston, 2014-09-02)
;Bohemia, Erik ;Rieple, Alison ;Liedtka, JeanneCooper, RachelThis study explores the connection between design thinking and corporate entrepreneurship. As suggested by earlier pioneering studies, the potential of design thinking for recognising entrepreneurial opportunities is researched. In addition, the levers and challenges of design thinking are subject to this study to find other links between design thinking and corporate entrepreneurship. We conducted expert interviews with eleven interviewees in ten organisations. The study revealed a variety of approaches that have been structured. Design thinking is utilised to improve new product and service development. The study revealed ambiguous results whether design thinking leads to new entrepreneurial opportunities. Understanding the user can be one element leading towards opportunities, however, the organisation needs to be capable to act on them. In addition, design thinking is often linked to corporate entrepreneurship in other ways, namely the partnering with startups and championing a project. These findings open important avenues for further research on the connection between design thinking and corporate entrepreneurship, namely in respect of strategic renewal as well as the collaboration with start-ups. -

PublicationDesigning Innovation: Prototypes and Team Performance in Design Thinking(International Society for Professional Innovation Management ISPIM, 2012-05-17)
;Hoffmann, FriederikeThis study investigates design thinking innovation teams working on three different innovation tasks: business model innovation, service innovation, and product innovation. Each task involves the generation of many prototypes, one of which needs to be selected as the final prototype. Further, one of the teams collaborated through virtual collaboration. By measuring both subjective and objective performances of the teams, we compared the different innovation tasks and their impact on design thinking teams. Our preliminary study shows that while the generation of many prototypes indeed seems to support the selection of the best final prototype, it is mostly the team process which impacts the quantity of all and quality of the final prototype. Especially the virtually cooperating team working on a service innovation task, experienced major difficulties in the process, while we can report that the business model innovation team generated the most prototypes while working in a rather harmonious team.Type: conference paper -
PublicationA Design Thinking Role Model Enables Creativity in IT: Case of the Financial Industry(AIS Electronic Library (AISeL), 2013-05-22)The challenge banks face to gain advantage over their competitors is being placed under pressure by the ever increasing speed of development which arises from the pace of innovation in computer technology, rapid changes in industry regulation and fast-changing customer needs. Banks have creative heads but the pursuing of efficient customer-centric creative work within an organization is often challenging. This paper presents a design thinking role model which was iteratively designed over nine projects within a period of four years and implemented in an IT department of two leading multinational banks. It analyzes the different roles of the design thinking role model and its multidisciplinary elements to enable creativity within these IT departments. It could be shown that creativity was enabled in this corporate IT context through the design thinking role model and thus a good base for the overall innovation process could be reachedType: conference paper

Publication"We try to listen - but do we understand?" An explorative study about user involvement in technology-driven organisationsTechnology-driven organisations are facing new challenges to gain a competitive advantage. It becomes even more challenging to be a step ahead of the competition through technical advance while better addressing user needs may be a way to differentiate. When aiming to develop products that better address the user needs it becomes crucial to understand who are the users and what are their needs, what is the value of user information, and how the information can be used to design more desirable products that may lead to a competitive advantage. We conducted a multiple case study at two technology-driven companies in the aviation and healthcare industry that are aiming to involve users more into the new product development (NPD) process. A series of 14 qualitative interviews revealed two main findings that are discussed: (1) there are different types of information needs according to the development stages and (2) the value of user involvement needs to be recognised from both, the company and its customers.

PublicationDesign Thinking and Corporate Entrepreneurship: An Integration and Avenues for Future Research(Springer International Publishing Switzerland, 2016-02-25)Design Thinking and corporate entrepreneurship are both topical in the contemporary innovation management discourse. This study outlines promising avenues for future research for the two concepts’ connections and synergies. Four research themes are identified and presented: Design Thinking and opportunity recognition/creation, Design Thinking and effectuation in corporate entrepreneurship, Design Thinking and corporate entrepreneurship strategy, as well as entrepreneurial design management. Promising avenues for each research theme are identified. Two of the research themes are on an individual level, while the other two themes are on an organizational level. The study contributes to the fields of corporate entrepreneurship and Design Thinking by conceptually linking the two, presenting research in the field and noting avenues for further research.Type: book section
