Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to emphasize the integration of lean start-up and design thinking approaches and investigate how they may be used together.

Design/methodology/approach

The report uses a systematic literature review methodology to analyze and summarize previous research on combining lean start-up and design thinking. Inferences were discovered and analyzed after relevant publications were chosen based on predetermined inclusion criteria.

Findings

The research shows that combining lean start-up and design thinking significantly impacts entrepreneurship. Start-ups can efficiently uncover consumer needs, reduce risks and improve their product or service offerings by combining the client-centricity of design thinking with the iterative and data-driven concepts of lean start-up. This integration promotes an innovative culture, gives teams the freedom to try new things and learn from mistakes and raises the possibility of start-up success.

Research limitations/implications

The dependence on pre-existing literature, which might cover only some potential uses and circumstances, is a weakness of this research. It is advised that more empirical research be conducted to determine the precise circumstances in which the integrated strategy performs best. Future studies should also explore the difficulties and drawbacks of using these approaches to offer suggestions for overcoming them and maximizing their advantages.

Practical implications

The findings have significant ramifications for business owners and other professionals working in the start-up environment. The combination of lean start-up and design thinking emphasizes the relevance of early customer interaction and empathy-driven design. To foster creativity and hasten the expansion of start-ups, practitioners are urged to create a comprehensive strategy that integrates the advantages of both techniques. Through this integration, business owners may develop solutions that appeal to their target market, increasing adoption rates and market competitiveness.

Originality/value

This study is interesting in comparing lean start-up and design thinking, emphasizing the overlaps and benefits of their application to entrepreneurship. This study discusses successful start-up methods by offering suggestions for future research and practice. It also provides a basis for further developing and adopting the integrated approach.

精益创业与设计思维及其整合的比较分析
目的本研究旨在强调精益创业与设计思维方法的整合,并探讨如何将两者结合起来使用。设计/方法/途径本报告采用系统的文献综述方法,分析并总结了以往关于精益创业与设计思维相结合的研究。研究结果研究表明,精益创业与设计思维的结合对创业有重大影响。通过将设计思维以客户为中心的理念与精益创业的迭代和数据驱动理念相结合,初创企业可以有效地发掘消费者需求、降低风险并改进其产品或服务。这种融合促进了创新文化,为团队提供了尝试新事物和从错误中学习的自由,并提高了初创企业成功的可能性。建议开展更多的实证研究,以确定综合战略在哪些情况下表现最佳。未来的研究还应探讨使用这些方法的困难和弊端,为克服这些困难和弊端并最大限度地发挥这些方法的优势提供建议。精益创业与设计思维的结合强调了早期客户互动和同理心驱动设计的重要性。为了培养创造力并加速初创企业的扩张,从业人员应制定一项综合战略,将两种技术的优势结合起来。通过这种整合,企业主可以开发出吸引目标市场的解决方案,从而提高采用率和市场竞争力。本研究讨论了成功的创业方法,为今后的研究和实践提供了建议。它还为进一步发展和采用综合方法提供了基础。
