“Design Management is the Rosetta Stone of Design.”
(Gianfranco Zaccai, IDSA/ADI, Designer and Strategist, Founder and CEO, Design Continuum )

A New Book by Brigitte Borja de Mozota Reveals the Hidden Powers of Successful Design Management

Businesses are discovering the power of design. From creating fresh products and packaging to designing letter heads, logos, or annual reports, designers have always contributed to a company’s value in innumerable ways. Yet few companies so far have strategically managed the business potential that can be the direct or indirect product of design projects and programs. DESIGN MANAGEMENT by the international researcher Brigitte Borja de Mozota now reveals how design can serve as a core driver of a company’s efficiency, economic success, and brand value. The first manual to cover the process of managing design comprehensively and in an international context and both from the designer’s and client’s perspective, Design Management is co-published by the Design Management Institute and Allworth Press.

Format:Paperback
This is a very thorough treatment of a new and growing topic, design management. Brigitte has effectively jumped the gun here, coming up with one of the first significant books in this area. There are often splits between the design and marketing functions in a company, yet she shows, in careful, methodical detail, how they best work together to come up with successful new designs.

A good start January 18, 2007
By F.H.S.
Format:Paperback
While the title is promising the book turns out to be more of a collection of literature on the subject. Great quotes about the importance of design can be found throughout the text. Unfortunately, the book never goes into how to use design to build brand value or corporate innovation, although it proves that it should be done. Anyone looking to strengthen their case through quotes, or anyone who is just interested in what people throughout history have done should get this book.

Overall, it is a great effort that doesn't quite fullfill the promise. Worthy nonetheless.

Not Design Management February 9, 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book repeats itself in almost every chapter. It's three sections are chopped up by quotes that make sinking into each topic almost impossible. A book labeled Design Management, I would think, would be designed better for an enjoyable experience. Good for reference, not for reading.
