Hi, Soren,
Thank you for your response.
There has been some debate about this in recent posts. Some of the entries on the web are incorrect or incomplete.
I even went back to the earlier work of Van Doren [1940] who captured some aspects of the design thinking concept, but never actually uses the term. It is as we know a distinct term.
In his book Industrial Design: A Practical Guide to Product Design and Development (1940) he highlighted some of the trades of a good designer. He continues by saying that it is the profession of the industrial designer to give meaningful forms to objects, but more importantly to have the consumer want to own a product. The book is more aligned with thinking of styling, some thinking about manufacturing and thinking of sales and marketing.
I would be interested in the scientific paper that you describe.
Yours,
Heico
