Or a zeitgeist aligning different schools of thought and ways of working? Lastly, is design thinking a Trojan horse to educate non-designers about \u201cdesignerly ways of thinking\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>This track especially aims at deepening the understanding of design thinking in relation to design, on the field as well as through conceptual perspectives. It therefore invites to confront professional cultures through:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Methods and attitudes<\/strong>. Examples of questions: Do designers and consultants use design thinking tools in the same ways? For what strategic purposes?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cultural change at organizational scale. <\/strong>Examples of questions: Is an extensive use of design thinking correlated with an institutionalization of the design function and\/or with an evolution of outcomes? Is design thinking becoming a function of organizations?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Design education &amp; career paths. <\/strong>Examples of questions: Should design students be trained to design thinking methods? What level of design expertise should possess managers using design thinking tools?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Submissions are expected to use analytic and\/or critical approaches supported by scientific methods (e.g. multicase study, longitudinal study, discourse analysis\u2026) or any other relevant epistemological frame able to put into perspective the use of design thinking.<\/p>\n<p><b>Indicative\u00a0References<\/b><br \/>\nBlum, G. &amp; Cova, V.
