Designs for the pluriverse: radical interdependence, autonomy, and the making of worlds
"Arturo Escobar presents a new vision of design theory by arguing for the creation of what he calls 'autonomous design'--a design practice aimed at channeling design's world-making capacity toward ways of being and doing that are deeply attuned to justice and the Earth"--Publisher description

Design: A powerful but neglected marketing tool
Design is a potent marketing tool that can be used to gain competitive distinctiveness and provide consumer satisfaction. But with few exceptions, most companies neglect or mismanage design as a marketing tool. The authors describe what constitutes good design; how companies can employ design to enhance their products, environments, communications, and corporate identity; and how companies can improve the working relationship between designers and marketing people. The article includes two audit instruments which companies can use for measuring company design sensitivity and design management effectiveness. Design (Entwurf und Gestaltung von Produkten) ist ein wirksames Marketinginstrument im Rahmen der Konkurrenzstrategie und zur Erhöhung der Konsumentenzufriedenheit. Mit einigen Ausnahmen jedoch vernachlässigen die meisten Unternehmungen das Design als Marketinginstrument oder setzen es schlecht ein. Die Autoren beschreiben, wodurch sich ein gutes Design auszeichnet, wie Unternehmungen das Design zur Aufwertung und Verbesserung ihrer Produkte, zur Abgrenzung in ihrer Umwelt und in ihrer Kommunikationspolitik und im Bereiche der Corporate Identity einsetzen können. Ferner zeigen die Autoren, wie die Unternehmungen die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Produktgestaltern (designers) und den Marketingspezialisten verbessern können. Der Beitrag zeigt zwei Kontrollinstrumente für die Unternehmung zur Abschätzung der Design-Empfindlichkeit von Unternehmungen und zur Messung der Effizienz des DesignManagements (Handhabung der Produktgestaltung).
