      PhD topic: Investigating the contrast in understanding/ application of design thinking from academic and commercial perspectives​. The aim of my PhD: To identify the possible knowledge gap that exists between academics’ and practitioners’ theories of design thinking. The outcome my PhD research might be the use of its findings to improve the articulation of academic and practitioner theories. Mapping these on to each other would reveal differences in the conceptions of design thinking, the characteristics embodied by particular groups and changes in emphasis.
