Compelling evidence highlights the importance of good design in driving company success. However, in manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), good design practices and competencies are frequently marginalized. Given the critical role of SMEs in any economy, the new product development (NPD) process must be managed in a structured way. Yet current design management tools often fail to show how SMEs can implement design management effectively. This article introduces the Integrated Design Management (IDM) Tool, which comprises two components: an audit and a checklist with integrated progress monitoring elements. The audit strategically assesses a company’s integration process and design management capabilities, aiming to position design as a core component of an organization’s vision and strategy. Operationally, the checklist provides a structured framework for planning and monitoring NPD projects—emphasizing objectives, actions, and outputs—and enabling companies to self-assess and take actions to improve. Developed iteratively across four phases—Exploratory Study, Tool Creation and Feasibility, Tool Development, and Validation—the tool involved active participation from five manufacturing SMEs through an action research approach grounded in evidence from the literature and exploratory and validation studies. This collaborative approach supported the development of a robust tool while contributing to improved design practices in new product development and manufacturing.

令人信服的证据强调了优秀设计在推动公司成功方面的重要性。然而，在制造业中小企业（SMEs）中，良好的设计实践和能力经常被边缘化。鉴于中小企业在任何经济体中的关键作用，新产品开发（NPD）过程必须以结构化的方式进行管理。然而，目前的设计管理工具往往无法显示中小企业如何有效地实施设计管理。本文介绍了集成设计管理（IDM）工具，它包括两个组件：一个审核和一个包含集成进度监控元素的检查表。审计战略性地评估公司的集成过程和设计管理能力，旨在将设计定位为组织愿景和战略的核心组成部分。在操作上，该清单为计划和监控NPD项目提供了一个结构化的框架，强调目标、行动和产出，并使公司能够自我评估并采取行动进行改进。该工具迭代开发了四个阶段——探索性研究、工具创建和可行性、工具开发和验证——该工具通过基于文献和探索性和验证性研究的证据的行动研究方法，涉及五家制造业中小企业的积极参与。这种协作方法支持健壮工具的开发，同时有助于改进新产品开发和制造中的设计实践。

This personal narrative outlines my evolving roles and competencies as a designer in developing a reusable medical device for low-resource healthcare settings in sub-Saharan Africa. The region suffers significant disease burdens and poor health outcomes, especially among women and vulnerable groups. The scarcity of medical devices deepens these disparities. I responded by developing a context-specific, reusable medical device that improved accessibility and was environmentally sustainable. However, integrating such devices into routine care poses challenges, requiring designers to move beyond an artifact-focused approach and adopt roles that facilitate implementation. Through eight years of longitudinal research, I identified five critical roles: shaper of collaboration, design facilitator, and knowledge broker—each essential for medical device design and validation. Also, the expanded roles of a policy advocate and designer-entrepreneur were essential for successful implementation into routine care. These roles are crucial for sustainable medical devices in low-resource settings but may conflict with systems reliant on stringent regulations. Securing buy-in requires ongoing stakeholder engagement. Equipping designers to perform these roles effectively remains a challenge. My experience highlights on-the-job learning and integrates formal education with practical training. Future research should explore how this combination best equips designers to design and implement new solutions.

这篇个人叙述概述了我作为一名设计师在为撒哈拉以南非洲资源匮乏的医疗环境开发可重复使用的医疗设备方面不断发展的角色和能力。该区域承受着沉重的疾病负担和不良的健康结果，特别是在妇女和弱势群体中。医疗设备的稀缺加深了这些差距。作为回应，我开发了一种针对具体情况的、可重复使用的医疗设备，提高了可及性，并具有环境可持续性。然而，将这些设备集成到日常护理中带来了挑战，要求设计师超越以人工制品为中心的方法，并采用促进实施的角色。通过八年的纵向研究，我确定了五个关键角色：协作的塑造者、设计促进者和知识经纪人——每一个都是医疗器械设计和验证的关键。此外，扩大政策倡导者和设计师企业家的作用对于成功实施日常护理至关重要。这些角色对于资源匮乏环境下的可持续医疗设备至关重要，但可能与依赖严格法规的系统相冲突。确保参与需要利益相关者的持续参与。让设计师有效地执行这些角色仍然是一个挑战。我的经历强调在职学习，并将正规教育与实践培训相结合。未来的研究应该探索这种结合如何最好地装备设计师设计和实施新的解决方案。

This article explores the influence of the International System of Typographic Education (Isotype) in Mexico during the 1930s. It reveals how social scientist Dr. Otto Neurath’s pictorial system of visual communication expanded beyond its European origins to convey social reform initiatives under the presidency of Lázaro Cárdenas. Invited by the Mexican government, Otto Neurath and Marie Reidemeister applied the Isotype method to national exhibitions and government reports, most notably in Six Years at the Service of the Government of Mexico. This report mirrored Neurath’s earlier work, the Atlas of Society and Economy. By employing pictograms to communicate statistical data, this visual approach simplified complex topics such as land reform, oil nationalization, and rural education, making them more accessible to Mexico’s largely rural population. Following Neurath and Reidemeister’s brief visit, German immigrant and Bauhaus-trained artist Léna Bergner continued to adapt pictorial statistics during the presidency of Miguel Ávila-Camacho, further cementing the role of Isotype in Mexican visual education. This article addresses the gap in Isotype scholarship by introducing new evidence and realigning key events in this Mexican chapter. These findings demonstrate the global reach of Isotype, enriching our understanding of how this visual communication method was adapted to overcome cultural and linguistic barriers.

本文探讨了国际印刷教育体系（Isotype）在20世纪30年代对墨西哥的影响。它揭示了社会科学家奥托·纽拉特博士的视觉传达的图像系统如何超越其欧洲起源，在Lázaro Cárdenas的主持下传达社会改革倡议。应墨西哥政府的邀请，Otto Neurath和Marie Reidemeister将Isotype方法应用于国家展览和政府报告，其中最著名的是《为墨西哥政府服务的六年》。这份报告反映了Neurath早期的工作——《社会与经济地图集》。通过使用象形文字来传达统计数据，这种可视化的方法简化了复杂的主题，如土地改革、石油国有化和农村教育，使墨西哥大部分农村人口更容易理解这些主题。继Neurath和Reidemeister的短暂访问之后，德国移民和包豪斯训练的艺术家l纳·伯格纳（l na Bergner）在Miguel Ávila-Camacho总统任期内继续调整图像统计，进一步巩固了Isotype在墨西哥视觉教育中的作用。本文通过介绍新的证据和重新调整墨西哥这一章中的关键事件，解决了同型奖学金的差距。这些发现证明了Isotype的全球影响力，丰富了我们对这种视觉交流方法如何克服文化和语言障碍的理解。

This article employs social identity theory and findings from research on design identity, entrepreneurial identity, and entrepreneurship education to discuss transdisciplinary design education at the intersection of design and entrepreneurship, which aims to foster an entrepreneurial design identity. As a professional group, designers share values and norms about their work and practice. In contrast, entrepreneurial identity is broader, with the market as its primary reference point. This distinction results in a distance between entrepreneurial identity and professional identity, making designers’ professional careers more challenging, limiting entrepreneurial intention, and reducing the chances of survival of design ventures. To address this, we first delineate the theoretical foundation of entrepreneurial identity and design identity and discuss their current coexistence. We then offer suggestions on how to bridge the gap between the two identities to foster an entrepreneurial design identity in design education. The article concludes with a research agenda and preliminary practical recommendations to lay the ground for integrating the two identities and developing an entrepreneurial design identity.

本文运用社会认同理论，结合设计认同、创业认同、创业教育等方面的研究成果，探讨设计与创业交叉领域的跨学科设计教育，旨在培养创业型设计认同。作为一个专业群体，设计师分享他们的工作和实践的价值观和规范。相比之下，企业家身份更广泛，以市场为主要参考点。这种区别导致了创业身份和职业身份之间的距离，使设计师的职业生涯更具挑战性，限制了创业意图，减少了设计企业的生存机会。为了解决这个问题，我们首先描述了企业家身份和设计身份的理论基础，并讨论了它们目前的共存。然后，我们就如何弥合这两种身份之间的差距，在设计教育中培养创业设计身份提出了建议。文章最后提出了研究议程和初步的实践建议，为整合两种身份和发展创业设计身份奠定基础。

Integrative civic leadership, which builds on the capabilities of individuals and organizations across sectors and communities, is essential to sustainable and inclusive placemaking. The article explores the conditions affecting cross-sector collaboration and integrative civic leadership in design through an approach called Cross-pollination. Specifically, it identifies the barriers and enablers of integrative civic design leadership, focusing on how such leadership can be instigated in a particular place (incubating) and how it can be scaled up (cascading). The results highlight the importance of creating spaces for reflection, learning, and experimentation that enable the organic emergence of initiatives and the shifting of power relations. The study also reveals the importance of champions, who can tap into existing projects and local connections to cascade ideas and practices. Equally critical, however, are the infrastructures—such as funding and training—that focus on collaboration and empower civic actors to define their own agenda. The article concludes with the proposition that focusing on providing places for Cross-pollination more effectively recognizes the interconnected nature of design and co-design actions. This approach centers support on fostering opportunities for civic leadership actors to co-create and pursue initiatives and projects that align with their values.

综合公民领导以跨部门和社区的个人和组织的能力为基础，对可持续和包容性的场所建设至关重要。本文通过一种被称为“异花授粉”的方法，探讨了影响设计中跨部门合作和综合公民领导的条件。具体来说，它确定了综合公民设计领导的障碍和推动因素，重点关注如何在特定地方激发这种领导（孵化）以及如何扩大规模（级联）。结果强调了为反思、学习和实验创造空间的重要性，这使得倡议和权力关系的转移得以有机地出现。该研究还揭示了冠军的重要性，他们可以利用现有项目和当地关系来扩展想法和实践。然而，同样重要的是基础设施，如资金和培训，这些基础设施注重合作，并赋予公民行为者确定自己议程的权力。文章的结论是，专注于为异花授粉提供场所，更有效地认识到设计和协同设计行为的相互联系本质。这种方法的重点是支持为公民领导行为体创造机会，共同创造和推行符合其价值观的倡议和项目。

The term “wicked problem” is used to describe a wide range of challenges that defy definition or resolution. These descriptions often reference Rittel and Webber’s 1973 publication, repeatedly listing the ten properties they proposed. However, rather than taking any set of properties as definitive, I argue that wickedness is better understood through a broader range of possible characteristics, including those shared with other problem classes, such as “messy,” “ill-defined,” and “complex” problems. Additionally, rather than viewing wickedness as an objective property of certain problems, I propose that it is better seen as a subjective aspect of how problems are experienced. Problems can appear wicked in different ways and to various extents, depending on the individuals, groups, and contexts involved. We can improve how we think about, talk about, and address these differences by visually representing problems in a way that flexibly captures their subjectivity, relativity, and dynamics. To illustrate this, I present some problem characterization radar plots that show how property selection, grouping, and scoring can convey wickedness. These plots support discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of adopting visual methods in stakeholder engagement activities.

“邪恶的问题”这个词被用来描述一系列难以定义或解决的挑战。这些描述经常引用里特尔和韦伯1973年的出版物，反复列出他们提出的十个属性。然而，我不认为任何一组属性都是确定的，我认为通过更广泛的可能特征可以更好地理解邪恶，包括与其他问题类共享的特征，例如“混乱的”、“定义不清的”和“复杂的”问题。此外，与其将邪恶视为某些问题的客观属性，不如将其视为如何体验问题的主观方面。问题可能以不同的方式和程度出现，这取决于所涉及的个人、群体和环境。我们可以通过灵活地捕捉问题的主观性、相对性和动态性来可视化地呈现问题，从而改进我们思考、谈论和解决这些差异的方式。为了说明这一点，我展示了一些问题表征雷达图，这些图显示了属性选择、分组和评分如何传达邪恶。这些图表支持讨论在利益相关者参与活动中采用可视化方法的优缺点。
