“…For example, KCP, a method, derived from C-K theory overcomes the limits of brainstorming or participative seminar in monitoring large groups in innovative design processes (Elmquist and Segrestin 2009;Hatchuel et al 2009). More recently, new methods for patent design have been developed based on design theory (Felk et al 2011;Kokshagina et al 2014). Design theory provides a basis to characterize innovative design organizations in companies (Hatchuel et al 2006;Hatchuel et al 2010;Le Masson et al 2010b) or new collective forms of action like colleges (Le Masson et al 2012b;Le Masson et al 2012a) and architects of the unknown (Agogué et al 2013;Agogué et al 2016).…”

In recent years, the works on Design Theory (and particularly the works of the Design Theory SIG of the Design Society) have contributed to reconstruct the science of design, comparable in its structure, foundations and impact to Decision Theory, Optimization or Game Theory in their time. These works have reconstructed historical roots and the evolution of design theory, conceptualized the field at a high level of generality and uncovered theoretical foundations, in particular the logic of generativity, the "designoriented" structures of knowledge, and the logic of design spaces. These results give the academic field of engineering design an ecology of scientific objects and models, which allows for expanding the scope of engineering education and design courses. They have contributed to a paradigm shift in the organization of R&D departments, supporting the development of new methods and processes in innovation departments, and to establishing new models for development projects. Emerging from the field of engineering design, design theory development has now a growing impact in many disciplines and academic communities. The research community may play significant role in addressing contemporary challenges if it brings the insights and applicability of Design Theory to open new ways of thinking in the developing and developed world.

“…While research in this area has led to a better understanding of how to increase student idea generation capacities, the underlying assumption of this research is that successful innovation depends on creative idea generation. However, there has been mixed findings on the impact of idea generation on the quality of the final creative solution; while Kazakci, et al (2015) found that the number of original ideas generated by a team is not necessarily a predictor of high performance, Zhang, et al (2015) found that idea generation had a significant impact on the quality of the final creative solution.…”

Creativity training has been widely integrated into engineering education as a means to prepare students to be an innovative force in design industry. However, much of this research has focused on training students to be creative idea generators, with limited attention to what happens after this generation. Thus, the current study was developed to understand how creative ideas are promoted or filtered throughout the design process in order to focus our educational efforts. In order to accomplish this, an 8-week study with 130 engineering students was conducted. Our results point to the reduction in creativity throughout the design process and student abandonment of novel concepts. We also expose the influence of the design task on student creativity.

“…Other authors claim that "quantity breeds quality" is a poor principle as a component of innovativeness for several reasons. Kazakci, Gillier, Piat, and Hatchuel (2014), experimenting on practical ideation situations, observed that (in abstract, page 199) "[r]esults lead to the rejection of the classical 'quantity breeds quality' hypothesis. Rather, we observe that successful groups are the ones who produce a few original propositions that hold great value for users while looking for ways to make those propositions feasible."…”

“…For a designer, feasibility, which can also be called proof-of-concept, may be a constraint leading to better idea selections and inspiration. In summary, it is important to assess idea feasibility in design practice so as to increase the probability of leading to successful innovation on the market (Kazakci et al, 2014).…”

“…Finally, as suggested by Kazakci et al (2014), feasibility is crucial for innovation success in practice. We propose to call it proof of concept and to consider a twofold definition: -On the side of users, these are proofs that the conceptual solution or prototype functions effectively and efficiently in expected situations.…”
