This is an individual report assignment worth marks across five tasks, focused on design thinking applied to two case studies: Apple iPhone (product + service focus) and Uber (service focus).
The five tasks require you to critically analyse and evaluate these cases as follows:
Task 1 (20 marks) examines the characteristics and behaviours of design thinkers that contribute to creativity in product and service development, using the selected cases as evidence.
Task 2 (15 marks) evaluates how design thinking principles drove idea generation and development within the innovation processes of the chosen cases.
Task 3 (15 marks) explores how those ideas were transformed into successful real-world products or services, supported by case-specific examples.
Task 4 (20 marks) discusses the challenges and barriers regulatory, resource, or operational faced when bringing the products/services to market.
Task 5 (20 marks) requires you to build an ArchiMate model for one of the cases, visualising its service architecture across business, application, and technology layers, followed by a critique of ArchiMate’s effectiveness.
The report must be 3,000 words (excluding Table of Contents and References), structured with a title page, introduction, body sections, conclusion, and at least 10 academic references in APA v7 format. Note that the use of AI in writing is strictly prohibited.
