Design Thinking has altogether changed the meaning and scope of the designing industry.<br />The concept of design thinking though may be new to the society; its roots can be traced to longer times.<br />Design thinking is the approach or the process taken to make the innovations more customer-centric and useful.<br />People may often get confused between the concepts of designs and design thinking.<br />However, designs are different from design thinking as the former has a substantial component attached to it and can be easily seen or recognized.<br />All the products around us contain designs in some of the other way which is a basis of identifying them.<br />However, design thinking is a process altogether which cannot be seen or touched.<br />Design thinking denotes innovations and improvisations achieved through the process, in making the solution a more viable one.<br />The concept of design thinking mainly emerged in the western countries in the late 1950s.<br />The earlier attempts of bringing the process to light were made by Harold Van Doren who published a separate chapter focusing the concepts of designing methods in his book ‘Industrial Design’ which was a start towards the development of the concept.
