This paper describes the practice of "design thinking" in a Japanese company that tends to operate in an in-house-completed work context under a rigorously divided function-based vertical organization. In order to respond to significant shifts in the business environment accompanied by technological advances and changes in people's values, Toshiba introduced "Customer Value Design,” customized design thinking. Customer Value Design is characterized by "co-creation" of customers’ value with customers, "collaboration" in a Cross-Functional Team (CFT) of various experts transcending organizations and categories of expertise, and the "customer perspective" in co-creating experiential value, enterprise value, and social value. In order to compensate for the deficiencies in organizational culture, mindset, and literacy, and to promote penetration of design thinking, Toshiba simultaneously launched a foundation that integrates and promotes cooperation encompassing the three factors of "process," "people," and "place." The customized design thinking activated projects that realize value for various stakeholders through co-creation and collaboration from a customer perspective. With the aim of transforming marketing and development processes in response to the changing business situation, Customer Value Design provides an evolving system with iterative improvement through trial and error. These co-creative and collaborative efforts amplified various activities directed toward comprehensive open innovation inside and outside the company.

Abstract Crazy Rich Asians (2018) has been hailed as a symbol of diversity representation, but it has also been challenged for the lack of representativeness. This review analyzes the controversy from two aspects. It traces how this film was made into a progressive symbol of diversity representation through riding sociocultural trends about the rise of Asia and the anti-whitewashing campaign. It also shows that this film tells a classic Cinderella story with a contextual twist of the reversed power balance between the ‘East’ and the ‘West’. Overall, although this movie contributes to bringing attention to the long-existing void of Asian-American representation in Hollywood and beyond,, whether or not it deserves the acclaimed symbolic status remains questionable.

The concept of knowledge ecosystems is an emerging arena to reconsider the design thinking processes from a perspective which comprises different levels of knowledge interaction, and how those are regulated by different dimensions. The issue of design thinking is the most relevant for creative industries emerging around creativity and knowledge and providing innovation, change and impact through interaction, however, existing research inadequately connects design thinking both to physical and nonphysical dimensions of knowledge ecosystems. Despite knowledge interaction is vastly regarded as a face-to-face communication for design thinking at micro-scale, it appears and be proficient as it involves non-spatial drivers at various scales. Therefore, this paper provides a more comprehensive and multidisciplinary theoretical approach to this phenomenon, linking separate discourses revolve around different themes: spatiality of knowledge ecosystems, creative industries and design thinking. The paper aims to explore how different dimensions of knowledge ecosystems are influential on design thinking in terms of knowledge interaction and to investigate the key drivers for design thinking. The main evaluation suggests that a geographical proximity enables reduced cost, spontaneous knowledge exchange within ecosystems, however, proximity should not be described in only spatial terms as prior to the others. The findings reveal additional non-spatial drivers: social network, institutions, cognitive proximity and organizational proximity have essential contributions to design thinking processes in terms of knowledge interaction.

This paper clarifies how design thinking is applied at the research and development stage in the Japanese electronics industry through the Survey on Research Activities of Private Firms by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Specifically, three questions are explored. Firstly, to what extent are the companies utilizing design thinking at the research and development stage? Secondly, which aspects of design thinking are they focusing on? Thirdly, is there a difference in how design thinking is used in different product fields? The paper concludes that the utilization degree of design thinking is generally not so high. Especially, designer’s role of opinion adjustment by taking advantage of their visualization ability is hardly utilized. In addition, there is a difference in the usage of design thinking based on different product field. Especially, in the electronic parts and devices industry, consciousness to utilize design thinking is relatively high. On the contrary, in precision machinery industry, the priority of design thinking in the use of designers is relatively low.

Thailand was one of the potential causes of the 1997 East Asian economic recession due to its lack of readiness in dealing with globalization. In fact, globalization can generate double-edged effects on a country’s economic condition. While it can mitigate global inequality and poverty, it can also be considered as the determinant of trade imbalances, income inequality, and deterioration of natural resources. In order to enhance a balanced and sustainable development at society and country level, we believe that the well-being of each individual should be taken into consideration. This article introduces the concept of Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy (PSE) which highlights foundation building, enhancing immunities, and resilience in a globalized and modernized economic condition with the objectives of generating self-realization and resilient and sustainable development. Moreover, PSE consists of three intertwined concepts that are moderation, reasonableness, and self-immunity, together with two basic conditions, which are knowledge and morality. This concept of PSE can offer individuals a moderate “way of life,” as well as an ability to protect and defend themselves from any unfavorable factors associated with the rapid changing economic conditions.
