† Outcome refers to the perspective of design-led innovation as being about the desired qualities of the end product driving the innovation-oriented behavior of the
organization. Process means that the author(s) define design-led innovation as a set of tools, methods, and activities of design that drive innovation outcomes. The dominant
logic perspective asserts that the discipline of design leads the mental model of the business including strategic allocation of resources to business units such as technical
R&D and manufacturing.
