While some scholars advocate the use of design thinking to identify new innovative behaviours, cognition experts emphasise the importance of top managers in supporting employees to develop these behaviours. However, there is a dearth of research in this domain and companies are struggling to implement the required behaviours. To address this gap, this study aims to identify and prioritise behavioural strategies conducive to design thinking to inform the creation of a managerial mental model. We identify 20 behavioural strategies from 45 interviewees with practitioners and educators and combine them with the concepts of 'paradigm-mindset-mental model' from cognition theory. The paper contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying and prioritising specific behavioural strategies to form a novel set of survival conditions aligned to the new industrial paradigm of Industry 4.0.}, language = {en} } @article{HehnMendezUebernickeletal.2019, author = {Hehn, Jennifer and Mendez, Daniel and Uebernickel, Falk and Brenner, Walter and Broy, Manfred}, title = {On integrating design thinking for human-centered requirements engineering}, series = {IEEE software}, volume = {37}, journal = {IEEE software}, number = {2}, publisher = {Inst. of Electr. and Electronics Engineers}, address = {Los Alamitos}, issn = {0740-7459}, doi = {10.1109/MS.2019.2957715}, pages = {25 -- 31}, year = {2019}, abstract = {We elaborate on the possibilities and needs to integrate design thinking into requirements engineering, drawing from our research and project experiences.
