In che modo le aziende possono sfruttare le opportunità nascoste nella tecnologia? Attraverso il presente lavoro di ricerca ci si propone di rispondere a questa domanda. Ispirati dai trend tecnologici attuali abbiamo deciso di indirizzare la nostra ricerca seguendo due filoni distinti ma in un certo modo legati: Il Design Management e il campo dell’Interazione. Proseguendo nel lavoro di ricerca abbiamo attuato una revisione della letteratura attraverso i campi del “Technology Management” e dell’Innovazione, rendendoci conto della mancanza di un vero e proprio approccio basato sul Design che fosse stato pensato per lo sviluppo dei progetti nel campo dell’interazione che hanno degli obiettivi di lungo periodo. Da questa mancanza nascerà la nostra specifica domanda di ricerca. Nella stessa direzione si svilupperà il nostro lavoro di analisi, che prevede un approfondimento di un caso studio e lo svolgimento di diverse interviste all’interno di una famosa multinazionale. Da questa raccolta di dati ed informazioni avrà inizio il vero e proprio lavoro di analisi che ci porterà ad avere una base su cui impostare la nostra discussione, che ha come obiettivo ultimo quello di trovare una risposta alla nostra domanda di ricerca. Attraverso la discussione arriveremo a provare come un approccio di Design Thinking, grazie alla modifica di alcune variabili, possa funzionare ed essere di valore per progetti legati al Deep Future. Infine, mostreremo come la nostra ricerca e i nostri risultati possano avere delle implicazioni manageriali, delle conseguenze e degli ulteriori sviluppi di ricerca.

Abstract
How can companies take advantage of the opportunities embedded in technology? Through this research work we aim to answer to this question. Inspired by two technological trends, we have decided to direct our research following distinct strands, but that are in some ways linked: Design Management and the field of Interaction. Continuing with the research work we have carried out a review of the literature through the fields of "Technology Management" and Innovation, realizing that a lack of a real project-based approach that was designed for the development of projects in the field of interaction that have long-term goals is present. Our specific research question will arise from this lack. In the same direction our work of analysis will be developed, which involves a deepening of a case study and the carrying out of some interviews within a famous multinational company. From this collection of data and information our real analysis work will start, and it will take us to have a robust base on which our discussion will be based. This discussion has as a main objective to find the answer to our initial research question. Through the discussion we will come to try how a design thinking approach, thanks to the modification of some variables, can work and can be valuable for projects related to the Deep Future. Finally, we will show in which way our research and our results will have managerial implications, consequences and future research developments.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
