Using a game-theoretic model of a competitive market, we explain how product quality decisions influence future investments to reduce buyer uncertainty, and demonstrate how firms should take this dependency into account to avoid over-investing in quality. We also show that firms, and especially ...
An industry development program, Designing Futures, has engaged design practitioners in evolving their work and the arts community over a decade. This paper describes the context, development and evolution of a cluster-led model, the Designing Futures Cluster Program, aimed at building capacity in th...
Additionally, the design for variety criterion is modeled simultaneously utilizing the concepts of design for cost and design for accessibility to yield both a practical and a mathematical model to develop a reliable product platform architecture. The architecture is designed in such a way that ...
Product strategy is the backbone of product design. Your strategy tells the whole story of the product a team is building: who will use it and why they will use it. It also defines the course of action your organization must complete to develop a product, keeping everyone involved in produc...

Product design became a formal field during the Industrial Age, introducing a systematic approach to the mass production of functional, beautiful products. In the 20th century, iconic designers like Raymond Loewy and Dieter Rams redefined the field with designs focused on simplicity and function. ...
Design and evaluation of a process model for the early stages of product innovation Today's business world is highly dynamic, competitive and hardly predictable. In the context of innovation management, this leads to shorter product lifecycles, higher degrees of uncertainty and ultimately to high fai...
Mathematical models are widely used in optimization research in various fields to solve the problems of multi-constraint conditions and multi-objective optimal configuration. In the field of land use, mathematical planning has long been applied. The mathematical programming model is the optimal allocation...
