Abstract
In today’s competitive environment, an organization’s ability to design innovative solutions and products has become a critical driver for product differentiation and thereby organizational competitiveness. Design is a process of solving real-life problems often in collaboration with professionals in relevant fields. Design is conceived as a process of solving an ill-structured problem, which possesses multiple solutions, multiple solution paths, fewer parameters and uncertainty about what it takes to reach a solution.
