Abstract: | The strategic value of design is now being recognized by increasing numbers of companies. As with most rediscoveries , however, this is a back-to-basics movement with an important twist. Design previously meant merely function and aesthetics, today, it is a highly complex, multifaceted function. Its principles may be divided into three categories: product and process basics, responsiveness factors and customs factors. Enormous benefits can be gained from taking a comprehensive, integrated, and strategic approach to the design function. |
