Friends,
Following the highly successful 2013 research program, agIdeas is pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 2014 Design for Business: Research conference and publication.
You are invited to submit abstracts for research papers and presentations that examine the role of design in building competitive business advantage.
The conference is chaired by Dr. Gjoko Muratovski, Head of Communication Design at Auckland University of Technology, working with an advisory board that Prof. George Cairns of RMIT School of Management and I co-chair. After three years of steady growth and development, the program is gaining academic recognition. This one-day program provides design and business researchers, educators and practitioners with the opportunity to share knowledge development by presenting their research. The conference is organised by agIdeas, a not-for-profit week of design events established in 1991 by Ken Cato, AO, and presented by the Design Foundation in Melbourne, Australia.

Design for Business Research program is a key event of the agIdeas International Design Week, one of the oldest and most prestigious design festivals in the world.
The organisers, sponsors, and advisors of the Design for Business: Research conference saw the value of an annual design research conference in Australia that works to bring research, business, and the design profession together to share ideas. We've grown and developed with each year — we hope you will join us in 2014.
If you're at a university or design firm in Australia or New Zealand, we hope you'll join us for a day well spent at the Design for Business: Research Conference. If you are overseas and planning a trip to Australia, we hope you'l add this to your itinerary.
Warm wishes,
Ken
