PERSPECTIVES

Design is an evolving discipline; from its emergence in the Industrial Revolution to the present day, it has been increasing its scope of action, going from being an activity linked mainly to operational processes to becoming a key strategic process in the achievement of innovations. This article analyses how the consideration of design in the Oslo Manual, an international reference guide for collecting, reporting and using data on innovation, produced by the OECD, has evolved as a result of advances in the discipline. The Manual has now been published four times, the first edition in 1992 and the latest in 2018, which is still in force today. As part of the analysis, connections are made between the World Design Organization's definition of design, design thinking and user-centered design.
