Design thinking (DT) is gaining ground among academics and practitioners as a means to improve the innovativeness of organizations. However, with few exceptions, DT studies are most entrenched in practice rather than theory-driven research. This weak tie between theory and managerial practice calls for delving into the dynamics of DT for innovation to build stronger foundations for future studies. Therefore, this study provides a theory-based framing of DT for innovation and a critical review of the DT literature to reconcile theory and practice. To this end, we propose framing and advancing DT as a dynamic capability for innovation rooted in lower-level aspects, namely microfoundations. Based on our theoretical framework, we conduct a systematic literature review that unveils the dynamics of DT and the context-specific capabilities to innovate. The contributions of the paper are twofold. First, we provide a theory-based framing of DT and combining it with existing theories in innovation and management (i.e., dynamic capabilities and microfoundations). Second, we review the extant literature on DT for innovation to reconcile previous studies with these theoretical lenses to, hence, guide future research. Based on this interpretation, we then define a number of avenues for future research, thus reconciling practical evidence with theories that can further explain how DT relates to firm innovativeness.

将设计思维的微观基础构建为创新的动态能力:协调理论与实践

设计思维 (DT) 作为提高组织创新能力的一种手段,在学术界和从业者中越来越受欢迎。然而,除了少数例外,DT 研究在实践中最为根深蒂固,而不是理论驱动的研究。理论与管理实践之间的这种薄弱联系要求深入研究 DT 的创新动力,为未来的研究奠定更坚实的基础。因此,本研究为创新的 DT 提供了基于理论的框架,并对 DT 文献进行了批判性审查,以协调理论与实践。为此,我们建议将 DT 构建为一种动态的创新能力,植根于较低层次的方面,即微观基础。基于我们的理论框架,我们进行了系统的文献综述,揭示了 DT 的动态和特定环境的创新能力。这篇论文的贡献是双重的。首先,我们提供了基于理论的 DT 框架,并将其与现有的创新和管理理论(即动态能力和微观基础)相结合。其次,我们回顾了现有的关于 DT 创新的文献,以协调以前的研究与这些理论视角,从而指导未来的研究。基于这种解释,我们为未来的研究定义了许多途径,从而将实际证据与可以进一步解释 DT 如何与企业创新相关的理论相协调。我们回顾了现有的关于 DT 创新的文献,以协调以前的研究与这些理论视角,从而指导未来的研究。基于这种解释,我们为未来的研究定义了许多途径,从而将实际证据与可以进一步解释 DT 如何与企业创新相关的理论相协调。我们回顾了现有的关于 DT 创新的文献,以协调以前的研究与这些理论视角,从而指导未来的研究。基于这种解释,我们为未来的研究定义了许多途径,从而将实际证据与可以进一步解释 DT 如何与企业创新相关的理论相协调。
