Alan "Managing as Designing" (Richard J. Boland and Fred Collopy, eds., 2004, Stanford University Press) is a really good source. Johann -----Original Message----- From: PhD-Design - This list is for discussion of PhD studies and related research in Design [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Alan Overton Sent: Tuesday, 9 November 2010 11:36 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Consumer product design methodology I am a first year doctoral student in marketing/product development and am looking for recent design methodology models. It has been my experience that marketers often treat design as a "black box" that accepts product requirements and should produce optimal designs. I hope to create an integrated model that no only illuminates the dynamic, iterative nature of the design process, but also suggests areas where marketing knowledge could provide design insight. I am researching work by Cross, Lawson, Hatchuel and Weill, Boland and Collopy, Rowe, and Brown I would be grateful for any recommendations for additional lines of research that would be relevant to the marketing community. Thank you for any assistance you can give.
