The research discussed the concept of design thinking based on its relationship with the design specialist and its intellectual methods in analyzing phenomena to find solutions to the problems of the physical world in which we live, by identifying the foundations of design knowledge from studying humanistic theories and patterns of human thinking, through the cognitive references to the concept of design thinking, which was defined by cognitive modeling Creative thinking and designedly ways of thinking. And we found that design thinking is a mental strategy through which the design specialist intends to exhibit phenomena to find solutions to them, a strategy that differs from scientific and other artistic strategies. As this strategy adopts logical thinking related to the real world and creative imagination linked to the technical aspects of problem solving. The research found that this mental strategy is used in other disciplines based on creative thinking in achieving its products, such as business management and competition between companies. The research offer a group of creative strategies that have the ability to develop creative thinking for design professionals and other creative specializations.

Long-term meditation practice is increasingly recognized for its health benefits. Heartfulness meditation represents a quickly growing set of practices that is largely unstudied. Heartfulness is unique in that it is a meditation practice that focuses on the Heart. It helps individuals to connect to themselves and find inner peace. In order to deepen ones’ meditation, the element of Yogic Energy (‘pranahuti’) is used as an aid during meditation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether consistent EEG effects of Heartfulness meditation be observed in sixty experienced Heartfulness meditators, each of whom attended 6 testing sessions. In each session, participants performed three conditions: a set of cognitive tasks, Heartfulness guided relaxation, and Heartfulness Meditation. Participants during the cognitive portion were required to answer questions that tested their logical thinking (Cognitive Reflective Test) and creative thinking skills. (Random Associative Test) The order of condition was randomly counter balanced across six sessions. It was hypothesized that Heartfulness meditation would bring increased alpha (8-12Hz) brain activity during meditation and better cognitive task scores in sessions where the tasks followed meditation. Heartfulness meditation produces a significant decrease in brain activity (as indexed by higher levels of alpha during the early stages of meditation. As the meditation progressed deep meditative state (as indexed by higher levels of delta) were observed until the end of the condition.  This lead to the conclusion that Heartfulness Meditation produces a state that is clearly distinguishable from effortful problem solving.

The objective of this study is to investigate how to create creative thinking in students through encouraging students’ logical thinking, motivation, and collaborative learning. The study also attempts to find suitable teaching procedures for the research subject. This study is based on qualitative research. Participants were graduate students studying business research methods. The results indicate that logical thinking affects the analytical skill. This skill, in turn, affects students’ creative thinking. A model of creating creative thinking in students is proposed from the research findings. Instructors may consider using the modeling to boost creative thinking in students. In addition, the findings suggest that the main teaching processes should be as follows: Instructors should encourage students to use their logical reasoning during the conceptual framework development. Workshops on students’ research projects should be conducted so students can practice doing research. Students should make oral presentations of their projects and experts invited to comment on them. Collaborative technologies need to be introduced so that instructors and students can communicate with each other on assignments. Apart from collaborative tools, instructors can set up additional sessions after hours to allow students to discuss problems they are facing. Research classes should incorporate in the coursework three student presentations: problem statement, research proposal, and completed research report. Finally, instructors should form students into groups and establish roles for the members.

Concept Framework

The AIA design thinking has been validated in complex design tasks, which includes three overlapping design thinking fields and uses the knowledge field theory as a theoretical mechanism of knowledge flow among design thinking fields. Meanwhile, the design of complex sociotechnical systems highly relies on multidisciplinary knowledge and design methods. Despite the emergence of knowledge management techniques (ontology, expert system, text mining, etc.), designers continue to store knowledge in unstructured ways. To facilitate the integration of knowledge graph and design thinking, we introduce an integrated approach to structure design knowledge graph with the AIA design thinking, which organizes existing design knowledge through Agent (concept)-Interaction (relation)-Adaptation (concept) framework. The approach uses an optimized convolutional neural network to accomplish two tasks: building concept graph from text and stimulating design thinking information processing for complex sociotechnical system tasks. Based on our knowledge graph, the validation experiment demonstrates the advantages of promoting the designer’s extension of idea space and idea quality.

Thought Worlds

Marketers and designers are likely to work together on innovation teams as they both have customer satisfaction as their end goals. Collaboration between these disciplines in innovation teams is often impaired due to the different thought-worlds that drive decision making: intuitive versus rational. To facilitate collaboration between design and marketing it is valuable to teach marketers about designers’ ways of thinking. Approaches to teaching design thinking to marketing students often focus on students becoming more creative, intuitive, and innovative themselves. However, the integration of the two disciplines does not require that marketers become designers, and vice versa, as both bring unique skills necessary for successful innovation. An educational framework is presented that aims to teach marketing students an understanding of the thought-world of design thinking rather than to become design thinkers themselves. The focus is on recognizing how the others’ approach to the same goals are complementary to their own approaches instead of being different or “wrong.” This framework is unique in aligning design thinking phases with critical thinking phases—marketing students’ dominant thinking style—through specifically chosen aictivities to scaffold the understanding of an intuitive, divergent, and creative thinking approach to the development of innovative marketing ideas.

The artistic deformation in children’s art is done unconsciously. It is observed in the change in the shape, proportion and color of an object or object. This is due to the exceptional desire of the child to convey greater expressiveness of his drawing, emphasizing the most important image for him. The deformation characteristic of this age period conveys a uniqueness and uniqueness of the children’s drawing. The use of specific methods of fine arts contributes to the stimulation of creative imagination and the manifestation of individual inclination to different ways of deformation. Stimulation of creative thinking increases the expressiveness of children’s fine arts. appearances.

Skilled staff, as well as conditions for their development and motivation, are key conditions for the successful operation of the company. Creation of a high-quality Human Resources (HR) personnel management system would allow to solve this problem. For the achievement of the ultimate goal - the most effective formation and development of the personnel potential of the enterprise requires the creation of conditions for all employees allowing the maximum use and increase of labour potential, as well use of creative abilities and creative thinking. Labour competences and competence evaluation represent real challenges for companies. When modelling a high-quality HR management system, it is important to take into account features such as presence of uncertainty and a large number of unstructured data. When evaluating personnel, the cognitive abilities of the decision-maker are involved and the use of fuzzy cognitive modeling (FCM) seems to be the most promising. In addition, cognitive models allow us to present complex relationships between investigated parameters revealing influence on each other. This paper considers an expert performance evaluation system based on competency model and a fuzzy logic model. The FCM based management personnel system’s is proposed. There are many performance evaluation methods; however, none is universal and common to all companies. This work brings contributions to HR management solutions, finding new ways to apply artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to processes that typically were performed by humans.

As machines have become increasingly smart and have entangled human thinking with artificial intelligences, it seems no longer possible to distinguish among levels of decision-making that occur in the newly formed space between critical reasoning, logical inference and sheer calculation. Since the 1980s, computational systems of information processing have evolved to include not only deductive methods of decision, whereby results are already implicated in their premises, but have crucially shifted towards an adaptive practice of learning from data, an inductive method of retrieving information from the environment and establishing general premises. This shift in logical methods of decision-making does not simply concern technical apparatuses, but is a symptom of a transformation in logical thinking activated with and through machines. This article discusses the pioneering work of Katherine Hayles, whose study of the cybernetic and computational infrastructures of our culture particularly clarifies this epistemological transformation of thinking in relation to machines.

Currently, is much spoken about the transition from the industrial era to the intellectual, in particular, about the development of the creative economy, which is based on intellectual activities, generation new knowledge, design thinking, creative imagination and creativity. Creative potential is becoming a major production resource. And creative class, people who are able to be creative and to generate something new that attracts attention, is a key element of this kind of economy. The ability to enter the market with the results of creativity brings to birth the effect of the creative industry - generation of communities of creative enterprises and industries that shape creative cluster. The definitions of the term «cluster» for a detailed consideration of the concept of «creative cluster» are generalized in the article. Special attention is paid to creative industries as a phenomenon of modernity and as part of a creative cluster. The article presents the characteristic of the conceptual accommodation facilities, among which design-, art- and boutique hotels are allocated, as well as their role in a creative cluster as an element bearing creative burden is defined.
