[Design Research] Design, a business case

What is design management ?

While some things change gradually and almost inconspicuously over time, other things change abruptly and

often and with big waves, uncertainty and disbelief following in its wake. Design belongs to both categories.

On one hand its role has changed gradually, responding to the continuous changes in economics and society

at large. As only a few examples, the raise of service industries gradually brought about the concept of

service design, as did austerity in the public sector. The raise of the digital economy brought with it UX

design and interaction design, and the quest for new mechanisms to deal with increased complexity across

sectors paved the way for the rise of design thinking.
