 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'DESMA is a training network including 4 leading universities, 4 design consultancies and 4 product and service organizations in the area of Design Management - an area of research and practice that is concerned with the dynamic intersection of design and management. The great potential of design as a driver of innovation and competitiveness is increasingly celebrated in the popular and scholarly management press, by European policy makers as well as manufacturing and service companies. However, the marriage between design and management is not always easy. The two fields have different historical roots, educational traditions and research foci. A divergence reflected in professional cultures and skills of practising designers, engineers and business graduates. In order to fully exploit the exciting potential of design as driver of innovation and competitiveness, we need researchers who can who can bridge the design and management divide within industry as well as academia. This entails being able to work at the intersection of the two fields, with a deep understanding of their respective languages, epistemologies, and practices, as well as the different perspectives of academia and practice. The overall objective of this programme is to create and support a new generation of design management researchers with this capability. The project is based on close collaboration among the partners through courses, conferences and other common activities, as well as through the research projects. While the consortium represents leading actors in the field of design management today, we have adopted an open strategy aiming to include and collaborate with other universities, companies and interest groups in Europe. The aim is to create a common platform for progressing design management research in Europe that will live long after the end of this project.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

The emerging cross-disciplinary field of design management holds great potential for driving innovation and competitiveness in Europe. Professional, academic and student participants are joining to define and expand the field, developing valuable theories and tools for all cross-disciplinary efforts.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

In the past, the disciplines of design and management have had different traditions. There are gains to be had though in the proper management of design as a driver for innovation. A new cross-disciplinary field of design management is being developed to provide the proper tools to unleash this potential. The 'Design as driver of innovation and competitiveness' (http://www.desmanetwork.eu (DESMA)) project focuses on defining and developing this field. The project is the leading platform for discussion, research and development within design management, gathering participants from both disciplines and across all sectors. The overall aim of DESMA is to expand the network of design management researchers and raise the quality of their research, eventually translating it into practice.

The initial phase of the project has focused on defining the discipline and creating a unified vision, clearing a pathway for research and attracting participants. Through this process, and by looking at the epistemological and practical implications of combining design and management, important developments were realised for all interdisciplinary efforts.

Furthermore, DESMA is in the process of establishing a European research school for doctoral students in design management. So far, it has recruited 12 early-stage researchers from each of the 12 project partners. The researchers have participated in four of the six planned courses and presented research proposals pertaining to critical issues within the field. These proposals are available on the project website and their development will be at the forefront of the field's expansion.

Now that the design management vision has been better established, DESMA is working to expand the network and attract a wide group of designers, managers, academics and practitioners. The developments of these interdisciplinary discussions will be disseminated principally through the project website, hopefully drawing more participants and furthering the design management cause.

By effectively navigating the challenges of cross-disciplinary efforts, management can merge with design to create a powerful catalyst for innovation and competitiveness in Europe.
