Thinking And Designing With Design Thinking

Design Thinking is a popular phrase especially for the last ten years penetrating into the discourse of management and design, business and academia in many ways. The contributions in the form of articles, commentaries and reviews in this MGDR Design Thinking Special Issue show us the examples, how and where we can use Design Thinking especially as an integral part of the design process. The area of design is expanding in diverse ways lately and sometimes it is causing the confusion such as Design Thinking is either a magical design tool, or another buzzword destined to go extinct after inevitable failures. We as the editors of this Special Issue do not have either totally negative, or totally positive opinions on Design Thinking. We just think we should organize the design process and use Design Thinking on it properly as a practical tool of guidance.
