“Design thinking” rappresenta un metodo formale per pratico, la risoluzione creativa dei problemi e la creazione di soluzioni, con l'intento di e miglioramento dei risultati in continuo. D'altra parte, “lean development” è focalizzata sulla eliminare gli sprechi e l'efficienza, attraverso la massimizzazione di impararezione sui processi e clienti. Questi due approcci condividono lo stesso obiettivo di creare innovazione avendo un approccio “user-centered”. Entrambi gli approcci sono processi partecipativi, eninnestando i clienti e le altre parti interessate nel processo di sviluppo della produzione. Questo studio fornisce una revisione sistematica della letteratura, che descrive lo stato-of-the-art e le teorie di “design thinking” e “lean developmend”. Sulla base di 121 articoli pubblicati in riviste accademiche top, lo studio sviluppa un confronto completo di questi due approcci, svelando tendenza generale di pubblicazione frequenza, la metodologia adottata, le dimensioni ei concetti analizzati, le industrie interessate e principali risultati e articoli di ricerca pertinenti. In seguito, lo studio discute sul rapporto tra “design thinking” e “lean development”. Inoltre, lo studio si conclude con una classificazione di somiglianze e differenze tra due concetti. Infine, data l'omogeneità e la complessità di alcuni ele-menti di “design thinking” e “lean development”, lo studio propone le direzioni future della ricerca.

Abstract
Design thinking represents a formal method for practical, creative resolution of problems and creation of solutions, with the intent of and continuously improving results. On the other hand, lean development is focused on eliminating waste and efficiency, through the maximization of learning about processes as well as customers. These two approaches share the same goal of creating innovation by having a user-centered approach. Both approaches are participatory processes, engaging customers and other stakeholders in the process of production development. This study provides a systematic literature review, describing the state-of-the-art in theories of design thinking and lean development. Building on 121 articles published in top academic journals, the study develops a comprehensive comparison of these two approaches by uncovering general trend of publication frequency, methodology adopted, dimensions and concepts analyzed, industries affected and main findings in relevant research articles. Afterwards, study discusses on the relationship between design thinking and lean development. Moreover, study concludes with a classification of similarities and differences between two concepts. Finally, given the homogeneity and complexity of some elements of design thinking and lean development, study proposes future directions for research.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
