Abstract

Design thinking approaches are frameworks that guide the design processes. This chapter will summarize several popular approaches, includi user-centered design, design-driven innovation, knowledge brokering, and competitor orientation. Then, the chapter will examine the differential impact of a strict adoption of using user-centered design and design-driven innovation, the two most popular approaches used by the industry. OXO and Alessi products will be used to illustrate user-centered and design-driven innovation approaches.
