In the past, design was considered only a styling on a product's shape or form. But now design has effect on the whole Life, in areas such as politics, economy, business, environment, etc. This design power expanded the design field and changed the design concept as well so that it rapidly raised more concerns for 'design thinking.'
The purpose of this study is to clear the definition of 'design thinking' which is the core of the change. For the more detailed research, to understand the meaning of Herbert Simon's 'design thinking,' the background and some of the historical concerns that have emerged with 'design thinking' were researched(based on Nigel Cross's research). Also compared of what the two design thinkers(Herbert Simon, IDEO) think about design thinking. It shows design thinking's common & difference features. In short, define the 'design thinking' clearly after synthesize design thinking's common features through two cases since 20C. In addition, Clear up the 'design thinking' should be more useful to develop variety fields like a society, politic, economy, and the environment more the better. Finally, I suggest some critical points of 'design thinking' today.
