Dear Prof. Soren,
I am sincerely sorry for my later response because of my unfamiliarity of using [log in to unmask] I was trying to reply your message through email but it failed. After a while I finally see the REPLY icon on JISCMAIL.AC.UK. Here I also attach my previous response. Anyway, thank you so much for your resources.
“I earnestly thank you for your inspirational articles. I am a novice graduate student now. My pragmatic working experience is much better than my academic skills. Recently, I just figured out there is a difference between Design Entrepreneurship and Creative Industries. The first is usually referring to technological entrepreneurship with design like companies such as Misfit Wearables, Jawbone, PayPal, and Squareup.com. The second one is referring to designers or individual creators who start their own business or their own brands such as FREITAG, a Swiss shoulder bag manufacturer, some fashion brands, or furniture brands. I am honestly not sure does my perception correct or not. But I think Design Entrepreneurship and Creative Industries do not refer to one concept.
The majority of study of design entrepreneurship or entrepreneurship driven by design usually mentions about in the realm of IT. The enterprises are established by engineers and professionals in computing field. I think your article, Entrepreneurship Driven by Design, is mentioning about this field. How about the enterprises of products without or with lack of technologies or non-IT-products like T-Shirts, Clothes, and ordinary items? What do you think the Creative Industries?
I am struggling with how to narrow down my focus on my thesis study. Thus, either design entrepreneurship or creative industries would be a new topic of study. Digging resources is a big challenge to me especially resources about China. Based on my knowledge about the current situations of the enterprise development driven by design in China, there are a few models of entrepreneurship. First, an enterprise is set up by a designer himself or herself. Second, an enterprise is set up by a collaboration which is two or more than two founders and the dominated founder is a designer. The third one is similar as the second one but the dominated founder is not a designer. The fourth one, founders are two or more than two designers. No matter which type of models, the point is that can the “start-up” toolkit fit to all these models? “
Best regard
