Considering that the great advantage of an organization today is the knowledge it has, and how it manages this knowledge, this article reports the application of the IDThink device in a fashion organization's manufacturing sector for its validation. This device applies knowledge management through the skills and attitudes of the design thinker. The device shown here is to assist the process of innovation in organizations by using some design thinkers skills in the knowledge explicitation and externalization. To Brown (2009) design thinking begins with the skills that designers have learned over time as: To align the human being´s needs with the technological resources available in the organization; Intuition; The ability to recognize patterns; Build ideas that have both emotional significance and functional; The ability to question their surroundings and be empathetic and; The ability to express otherwise than in words or symbols. This last is one of the most important designer skills. The designer uses the drawing process also as a critical process, as discovery. He uses drawing as a means of materializing, imagination, or discovery of something that he cannot built in his mind, and as a mean of communication with others, facilitating collaboration on projects. The IDThink device is an external, temporary repository for ideas, with which the designer interacts, and this externalization supports the necessary dialogue that it has between the problem and the solution, which minimizes the cognitive stress when dealing with quantities and complexities of knowledge to be process internally. The identification of concepts and their positioned graphical representation facilitates decision-making, the sharing of knowledge of everyone involved in the organization management, and observation of systemic functioning of the company, focusing on indicators that it judged suitable. The use of visual codes, which will be available throughout the process, allows the team to navigate the process without losing their train of thought. Also allows us to observe the evolution of the environment and its influence in the organization to assist in corrective actions. The nature of the research was exploratory, with lineation by ex-post-fact, using a strategy of ethnography, through non-participant interviews and observation. After applying, the researchers understood the need to adapt the External System of the IDThink device so that it includes an amount of knowledge needed to the visualization of the organization's management and / or the development of new products.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/IFDP.2016.2400

BACKGROUND Consumer health care technology shows potential to improve outcomes for community-dwelling persons with chronic conditions, yet health app quality varies considerably. In partnership with patients and family caregivers, hospital clinicians developed Care4myHeart, a mobile health (mHealth) app for heart failure (HF) self-management. OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper was to report the outcomes of the nurse-led design process in the form of the features and functions of the developed app, Care4myHeart. METHODS Seven patients, four family caregivers, and seven multidisciplinary hospital clinicians collaborated in a design thinking process of innovation. The co-design process, involving interviews, design workshops, and prototype feedback sessions, incorporated the lived experience of stakeholders and evidence-based literature in a design that would be relevant and developed with rigor. RESULTS The home screen displays the priority HF self-management components with a reminder summary, general information on the condition, and a settings tab. The health management section allows patients to list health care team member’s contact details, schedule medical appointments, and store documents. The My Plan section contains nine important self-management components with a combination of information and advice pages, graphical representation of patient data, feedback, and more. The greatest strength of the co-design process to achieve the design outcomes was the involvement of local patients, family caregivers, and clinicians. Moreover, incorporating the literature, guidelines, and current practices into the design strengthened the relevance of the app to the health care context. However, the strength of context specificity is also a limitation to portability, and the final design is limited to the stakeholders involved in its development. CONCLUSIONS We recommend health app development teams strategically incorporate relevant stakeholders and literature to design mHealth solutions that are rigorously designed from a solid evidence base and are relevant to those who will use or recommend their use.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the transience of management fads in the academic and the practitioner-oriented communities to shed light on their roles in the diffusion of fads. Design/methodology/approach This study traces the lifecycles of the following fads in practitioner-oriented and academic journals over more than 50 years: balanced scorecard, business process reengineering, design thinking, knowledge management, learning organization, management by objectives (MBO), matrix organization and total quality management (TQM). Findings Contrary to the academic–practitioner gap lamented in the literature, this study indicates no such gap regarding these fads in general, but finds differences in the intensity with which the fads are dealt with. The two communities stimulate, sustain and abandon fads collectively, as the lifecycles of most of the fads were found to mirror each other in both communities. This provides evidence of a contemporary form of popularization with a dynamic exchange of knowledge between academic and practitioner-oriented journals, rather than the traditional one-way transfer of knowledge from academia to practice. Originality/value This paper is the first to study multiple fads simultaneously in academic and practitioner-oriented journals in a historical comparison to investigate their roles in the diffusion of fads.

Appropriate technology is widely recognized as a good solution in providing alternative technology for underdeveloped people who live in a very limited circumstance. However, it is often seen as an idea without clear explanation from engineering perspective. One of critical process in appropriate technology design process is materials selection. This study aims to provide applied logic for selecting materials in the design process. The logic is constructed by surveying previous notions from researchers. Reasoning techniques are explored by using design thinking. This study reveals that there are four focuses which must be applied to find sufficient materials for an appropriate technology. This study also concludes that, unlike pure engineering efforts which tend to substitute materials given in a technology design with locally available ones, appropriate technology start from existing resources to produce its design. It requires soft selection by involving local people in exploring any potential materials which already available in their own area. By looking at previous studies which tended to ignore the contribution from local people in exploring potential materials, this study embraces their involvement and then emcourages insights for further research around it.

The study examines Nigeria challenge of the mono-culture economy due to an overreliance on oil, and coupled with the threat been stranded arising from the global campaign and signed Paris agreement in 2015 is an economic risk that could jeopardize her economic development. Answers to why the manufacturing sector has occupied a peripheral position in the Nigeria’s economic development aspiration question alongside the overarching goal of articulating pragmatic mediums and approaches for revamping the manufacturing industry from the encumbrances hindering its full capacity functioning. This research was undertaken to examine the manufacturing sector as an alternative to Nigeria’s petroleum dependence economy by dissecting its problems and how-to repositioning it for a viable diversification. The ex-post facto research method was adopted using impeccable secondary data sources. Insecurity and poor political governance were among other impediments to the manufacturing optimum performance, and strengthening the political institution for an all-inclusive government, amongst others, is proffered as panacea.

The University

The university is a key agent in the process of transformation towards sustainability within the framework of the 2030 Agenda. This study aims to analyze the usefulness of the collaborative learning methodology through a serious game (SG) in the university environment to increase the level of knowledge and the importance given to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by students. Through ex ante and ex post questionnaires, the degree of variation in the knowledge acquired and importance given to the SDGs was measured. To compare the midrange of these two samples and determine whether differences existed, we applied the Student and Wilcoxon t-tests. The results indicate that the methodology used produced an improvement in knowledge about the SDGs. Therefore, it is concluded that the university should promote this type of workshop and SG activities to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs, both in the Bachelor’s Degree in Primary Education and in degrees of other disciplines. Moreover, we have encouraged active learning of the SDGs through collaborative workshops using the design thinking method and an SG called “The Island”, which, based on certain economic, social and environmental information, puts students in a position to govern resources to meet the needs of its population.

The manufacturing sector in Nigeria is characterized by liquidity challenges due to the rising cost of energy, multiple taxations, high-interest rates, poor accessibility to loans and foreign exchange instability which affect profitability. However, the right mix of capital structure is said to correlate with profitability. This study, therefore, determined the effect of capital structure on the profitability of selected manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Employing ex-post facto design, secondary data from 10 manufacturing firms were captured. The Hausman test determined the suitability of random effects panel regression to estimate the effect of capital structure variables on ROE and ROA. The four hypotheses of the study were tested at the 5% level of significance. Results of the study showed that capital structure has a significant effect on return on equity (ROE) with an Adjusted R-squared value of 0.876871 and F- statistics of 236.0122, on return on asset (ROA) with an Adjusted R-squared value of 0.080555 and F- statistics of 3.891215. The study concluded that although the capital structure is vital to the profitability of firms it is not adequately planned in manufacturing firms in Nigeria and has hampered the profitability. The study recommended that manufacturing firms must make good decisions relating to their capital structure if earnings must improve.

<p><em>Prolonged economic recession occasioned by the collapse of the world oil market from the early 1980 and the attendant sharp fall in foreign exchange earnings have adversely affected economic growth and development in Nigeria. This study was necessitated to identify the extent of relationship that exists between strategic orientation and recessed economy: options for consumer goods manufacturing sub-sector in Nigeria. Ex-Post Facto research design was employed for the study and simple regression analysis was adopted in analyzing the data. The findings of the study revealed that entrepreneurial orientation has a significant positive relationship with economic development. This explains that an increase in strategic orientation will lead to a resultant increase in economic development and vice versa. The study therefore recommended that government should key in by reversing the poor performance of consumer goods manufacturing sector in providing incentives for the firms to become more export oriented and improve the already established structural reforms in order to improve transparency and stability of both financial system, and fiscal activities to restore confidence in the economy during recession.</em></p>

PurposeThe purpose is to investigate a position for engaged scholarship bridging the gulf between theorizing and practice in a social system perspective using Design Thinking for assisting the emergence of a semantic reservoir in a polycentric network “in spe”.Design/methodology/approachThe paper combines social systems theory with the concept of engaged scholarship based on Design Thinking, and illustrates how such a research position might be applied to problems of polycentric networks as a theoretical/methodological case.FindingsThe paper concludes on a possible role for an engaged scholarship as a midwife assisting the emergence of a shared semantic reservoir that is needed to make commitments and couplings possible to become a polycentric network. Design Thinking is explained as a structured way to irritate (disturb) other systems, and the role of a shared semantic reservoir for a polycentric network “in spe” is accounted for.Originality/valueBridging the gulf between theorizing and practice in management theory is under-explored, and social systems theory underlines the immanent rigor-relevance gap, which this paper suggests a way not to overcome, but to bridge. The discussion of the rigor-relevance gap is revisited. Also, the critical process for a shared semantic reservoir to emerge in the formation of poly-centric networks is underexplored and so are its role for coupling of networks. The conceptual understanding thereof is also contributed to.
