Design
Under this week, I have gained my understanding of the theories of design thinking in a comprehensible way. This week is significant as compared to previous weeks as, in this class; tutor has delivered the information about the resources that would be significant in writing of blog. I have generated my understanding of different theories associated with designing thinking like convergent and divergent thinking, learning theory, and co-creation, sense of rationale and action research. These theories were beneficial to write the appropriate and distinct language of the blog (Qianyi, Xiaoshun, Ping, and Lu, 2018). I have generated my knowledge regarding the basic reasoning structure that was beneficial for solving the issues in a feasible way.
This week has increased my consciousness regarding the inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, and abductive reasoning. The inductive logic is practiced for identifying and building the prospect hypothesis about the task (de Oliveira, and Guedes, 2018). It can aid to avoid the task concern in a feasible way. The abductive reasoning can be practiced for addressing the desired value that could be attained. In addition, the deductive reasoning could be supported by validating the hypothesis in a feasible way (Campbell, and Carayannis, 2016). Moreover, such type of understanding could enhance my professional competencies and personal life in the future.
Under this week, I have developed my blog in class that was a very memorable skill for me as I was worried during the presentation of the blog. However, while, I attained my presentation then my supervisor gave a favorable feedback that was unanticipated for me. Due to the background of IT, I select a totally diverse field (As has been detailed in week 3 blog, attached under appendix 1). Through discussion with a classmate, I comprehend certain special characteristics regarding my personality such as prompt learning could be anything and deeply understand the topic.
Under this week, I have increased my awareness about the design problems and techniques for avoiding the issue of design in a feasible way.

I also increased my learning regarding visualization practices that aid to make the eye-catching writing of blog.
During this week, I have generated my knowledge regarding the value chain, journey mapping, mind mapping and value network for designing the investigation in a feasible way. Under the journey mapping, I have created my understanding of the graphics exhibition that was supportive for me to encourage the customers with regards to products and services. I have learned that there are certain components, which are included in new ideas such as the development of experience, and imagine a prototype of new ideas and conceive the possible experience. Under the journey mapping, there are certain steps which could be involved like selecting the customers, and realistically demonstrate the perception about the needs of customers towards specific products and services and then assess the small number of consumers, governs themes and steering the interview.
Design Theory
Moreover, I have also increased my knowledge regarding the adding value that could be beneficial for providing the added value in the process of business. I have also enhanced my knowledge regarding the generic value chain in which two practices are significant like primary with secondary practices (As has been detailed in week 5 blog, attached under appendix 3). In this way, I have learned that primary activities involve operations, inbound logistics, outbound, marketing and sales, outbound logistics, and services. In addition, it is pointed out that support practices involve technology development, human resource management, firm infrastructure with procurement (Servoss, Chang, Olson, Ward, Mulholland, and Cohen, 2018). I have also enhanced my understanding of the method of generating the mind-map. This type of data is helpful for me to enhance my personality because of improving my understanding of different sectors.
Under this week, I have increased my knowledge about the significant technique of investigation like data type, approaches to research, ethics, and sources of data. It could be beneficial for improving my personal along with a professional career in a feasible way (Eckhardt, Ciuchta, and Carpenter, 2018). Moreover, each technique was beneficial for designing as I can perform the task in a feasible way (As has been detailed in week 6 blog, attached under appendix 4). The deep knowledge regarding designing of research could aid to gather the information in an applicable way. The whole procedure is practiced for planning the structure of interview and analyses the ethical concern (Scarborough, 2016).
Under the week 7, I have increased my knowledge regarding the development of concept, testing, rapid prototyping as well as assumption. It would be beneficial for writing the blog in upcoming times. The first practice relies on the development of the concept in which I have enhanced my knowledge regarding the development of aspect in a feasible way. Along with this, I have enhanced my understanding about the second activity (As has been detailed in week 7 blog, attached under appendix 5). In this way, I have pointed out that second activity depends on the measurement of assumption in which I have gained my understanding of the hypothesis. In such a way, an investigator can reject or accept the assumption as per the collected data in order to acquire the feasible results (Edwards-Schachter, et. al., 2015). I have also learned that rapid prototyping is the last activity that was supportive of me in the design process of thinking. In this activity, I observed the ways for building the prototyping rapidly in a feasible way. Hence, I pointed that understanding of such practices can aid to build effective decision-making procedure.
During this week, I have generated my understanding regarding a certain type of approaches that could be effective for launching the innovation. I also build my knowledge regarding the readiness of launch in which two factors are essentials like the content of launch readiness with planning purposes. Under such week, I have gathered feedback in storyboard and prototype. The feedback was helpful in terms of reducing the concern in a feasible way (Prabhu, and Jain, 2015). Moreover, I also increased my knowledge that planning of launch can include certain components like the hypothesis and goal of goods and services that would be measured in the future.

During this week, I have gained my knowledge regarding certain elements such as target market, 4P’s of marketing, competitor’s assessment, target market, entrepreneurial marketing campaign, marketing, and communication. It supports me for making designing in research effectively and efficiently (Matthews, and Brueggemann, 2015). These elements are also beneficial for me to design the entrepreneurial campaign regarding the marketing. Through the analysis of competitors, I have gained my awareness regarding the competitors that could be in different forms such as indirect, direct and future rivalry (As has been detailed in week 9 blog, attached under appendix 7). Under the direct competition section, I have improved my experience that an organization may provide similar products with services whereas, in case of the indirect competition of business, an organization can offer the substitute products to their customers. The future rivalry is neither indirect nor direct achievement, however; it can exist at any time (Canals, 2016). I have also improved my understanding with regards to the certain type of communication modes like direct, digital, word of mouth, partners, social media and traditional media. This would be helpful for directly interact with the consumers and supports for making a positive association with the consumers in the future. It can enhance my communication skills that develop my personality in the future.

I have enhanced my experience regarding the benefits and limitation of sourcing the fundraising. I also increased my knowledge regarding the crowdfunding that was effective for gathering money and funds from the public in a feasible way (Gruber, De Leon, George, And Thompson, 2015).
During this week, I have demonstrated the whole data that I have gained during first to the tenth week. Under this week, designers groom their skills with personality because of offering the relevant and attractive presentation about the blog in a feasible way. Moreover, each designer can offer the presentation on their topic that was quite difficult for each one, however, that was good due to the availability of feasible data (Schmitz, Urbano, Dandolini, de Souza, and Guerrero, 2017).
This is last week of activity in which I have learned about the prospective scope of design. The higher applicability of design thinking helps to design in an organization, redesign the industry, growth and strategy, continuous design and design for growth. These factors demonstrate the future expansion of design (Durkin, and Gunn, 2016).
