This book explores the shift towards design-based competitiveness and the escalation in the design-intensity of goods andservices. The emphasis is on understandingthe relationship between industrial design and product, corporate or national competitiveness. Industrial design's contribution to corporate competitiveness includes enhanced sales, greater profit margins compared to competitor products, improvements in manufacturing efficiency, speed of repair andenhanced visibility for the firm and its products. Design has become an important element in nationaland regional economic policies as governments acknowledge the important relationship that exists between design and the creation of high-value added products. Given the role design plays in corporatecompetitiveness, it is timely to bring together a group of academics to explore the importance ofindustrial design within the contemporary economy.
