Recent advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have been
significantly driven by models such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), variational …

The rapid growth of data and the requirement of designers to track massive data to obtain
design stimuli have posed challenges to conceptual design, thereby promoting the …

This paper intends to provide an overview of the rich legacy of models and theories that
have emerged in the last fi fty years of the relatively young discipline of design research, and …

In a highly technologically-advanced mature society, a shift in focus occurs from quantitative
to qualitative innovation. This paper discusses this shift from the perspective of design. We …

Abstract Design innovation projects often generate large numbers of design ideas from
designers, users, and, increasingly, the crowd over the Internet. Such idea data are often …

Human creativity generates novel ideas to solve real-world problems. This thereby grants us
the power to transform the surrounding world and extend our human attributes beyond what …

A framework that integrates the fragmented elements of concept derivation, processing, and
translation is developed and discussed. This framework aims to consolidate the divergent …

Recent advances in design theory help clarify the logic, forms and conditions of generativity.
In particular, the formal model of forcing predicts that high-level generativity (so-called …

In industry, the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) methodology is one of the main tools
used for reliability management in product design and development. However, the academic …

This paper aims at changing the perspective on management innovation by considering
management innovations as managerial objects that come out of a design process. We …
