Empirical evidence combining lean start-up and design thinking (Scopus and dimension database)
| Sl. no. | Integration approach | Reference | Key integration points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Conceptualization of model | Allen (2022) | It combines lean start-up and design thinking into the conceptualized model, an iterative approach. Allows business owners to develop lean, user-centered, real-needs-focused business models |
| 2 | “Entrepreneurial view” event | Ferrari De Carvalho Teixeira et al. (2022) | Suggests holding an online course to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship in Brazilian colleges. Combines design thinking and lean start-up to promote innovative problem-solving and entrepreneurial thinking |
| 3 | Disruptive educational model | de Waal and Maritz (2022) | Uses lean start-up and design thinking to develop a novel approach to delivering educational programs in higher education Effectively embodies a conceptual solution that respects economical inventions and sustainability standards |
| 4 | Contemporary innovation management | Killen (2022) | Examines how innovation management is changing, with a focus on lean start-up techniques, agile project management and design thinking. Calls for more investigation into effectuation’s potential to enhance contemporary innovation techniques |
| 5 | Combinatorial model | Ousghir and Daoud (2022) | Creates a combinatorial model that links effectuation, design thinking and lean start-up to enable successful innovation management in start-ups. Combines the three approaches to offer insights into business growth: ideation, product design, launch and testing |
| 6 | Recursive learning loops | Reis et al. (2019) | Examines the recursive learning loops that entrepreneurs use to build new businesses using design thinking, lean start-up and the business model canvas. Uses a framework with stages to assist in the formation of a corporation |
| 7 | Lean start-up in education | Altukhova and Vasilieva (2017) | Advocates for teaching “Internet entrepreneurship” with a focus on design thinking and the lean start-up technique to improve learning effectiveness. Offers examples and guidance grounded in human-centered design |
| 8 | InnoDev model | Dobrigkeit et al. (2020) | Explains the InnoDev model, a one-day training course for designers, project managers and software engineers that combines lean start-up, scrum and design thinking. Attendees of the workshop find the combination useful and beneficial for developing software |
| 9 | Simultaneous pursuit | Lichtenthaler (2020) | Argues that to increase the agility of innovation processes, design thinking and lean start-up should be pursued together. Highlights how these approaches work best together to produce better outcomes at both the front and rear ends of the innovation process |
| 10 | Contrasting effectuation | Mansoori and Lackeus (2020) | Highlights the key components of each entrepreneurial strategy and draws comparisons between effectuation and other approaches. Explains the potential benefits, limitations and theoretical advantages of various entrepreneurial approaches |
