on
Design: Management: Organization
The potential of design in management and organizations is now the
focus of a growing body of knowledge in practice and theory.
Theoretical results appear in books and journal articles, education
programs, and research projects, while businesses of all kinds put the
findings into practice, along with design firms, consulting firms, and
universities.
Design is a practice of making. We realize design in many ways: as
artefact, system, and experience. The complexity and seemingly endless
potential of design is visible in fascinating and continuously
evolving ways.
In this stream, we ask what design thinking can mean, examining how we
can interpret and enact design thinking in thought, artifact,
experience, and action.
We invite contributions to this stream from practitioners and
scholars who explore the intersection of design, management, and
organization. We are particularly interested in discovering how people
engage design in management and organizational contexts. We welcome
case study accounts from designers, design managers, general managers,
and scholars in design theory and organization theory. We also welcome
theoretical and conceptual presentations.
Many questions will interest participants in this stream: Why is
design important to the future of management and organizational
contexts? Can design help us to save organizations? How do design
organizations enact design within their own management and
organizational contexts? What is design management? Is there a space
for poetic design in managerial and organizational contexts? We hope
to explore design as creative practice, design as critical thinking,
design as systems management, and design as Š
The conveners of the stream hope to develop the presentations from
this stream into a special journal issue.
For papers, please submit abstracts of 500 words. For other
presentations, we will accept any appropriate media submission.
