Transforming mature design management to better firm performance: The importance of top management involvement
Design can be utilized in different manners, including as styling activities, integrating role, and strategic manner. The different way reflects different maturity of a firm. Although previous studies conceptually suggest the mature way of managing design brings considerable benefits, empirical evidence is rare. This study fills in this gap by investigating the influences of design management maturity on product innovation performance and financial performance. A survey was conducted (N = 200) and analyzed through PLS-SEM. Results show that design management maturity does not directly improve product innovation performance but mediated by top managers' design management expertise. These findings highlight the importance of top managers' design management expertise in transforming a firm's design management maturity to enhanced product and firm performance.
期刊介绍:
Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy.
Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
