Call for Papers 2015 'Design for Business' Conference and Publication We are pleased to invite proposals for research papers and presentations for the upcoming 2015 International Research Conference: Design for Business. This is a leading, doubleblind peer reviewed conference that examines how design as a strategic resource adds value to business. Please note that by ‘business’ we include commercial and not-for-profit enterprises. Many organizations, including governmental departments, cultural organisations, not-for-profit enterprises, and even cities, have adopted business-style management in order to improve their operations. Also, many increasingly use design thinking approaches in order to better understand their stakeholders, to improve their workplaces, to create new experiences for their clients, to minimize the impact that they have on the environment and increase sustainability, or to improve their services, their distribution, or their manufacturing processes. If you are working or doing research in any of these areas, then we would like to hear from you. In its fifth year, the Design for Business: Research program presents rigorous academic research examining the role of design in building competitive business advantage. Design for Business: Research Conference conducted in Melbourne is a key event at the annual Melbourne International Design Week. The program is presented by agIdeas with the State Government of Victoria and in association with Design Matters and Swinburne University of Technology, and with support from other major universities.The material presented at this conference is published globally via Intellect Books and the University of Chicago Press.
