ABSTRACT

There is no general agreement on a precise definition of design thinking; there are variations across disciplinary cultures, and different meanings depending on its context. 1 For example, design thinking in architecture is different from design 4thinking in a management context. The design process is dynamic, and can be complicated, messy, and nuanced as a function of specific realm and application. Moreover, there are additional layers of mystery associated with creativity itself, hence the challenge inherent in efforts to define it.
