DMI Conference Overview | Conference in , , United States

CALL FOR PAPERS

We would like to announce this Call for Papers for the 19th DMI: Academic Design Management Conference to be held in London (UK) from the 2nd to the 4th September 2014.

We especially welcome early career researchers and PhD candidates with work in progress.

We are also seeking expressions of interest to conduct workshops.

The theme of the conference is Design Management in an Era of Disruption. The management of design has arguably never played such an important role as it does today. Changes to the business and social environment are making consumers more knowledgeable and discerning. 'Tribes' now demand their own types of products. Globally-aware consumers want socially-responsive and sustainable goods. Demanding customers want to be served immediately, if not sooner…

On the supply side, innovations and developments in new technologies make it possible to respond to these demands in the form of mass-niche, mass customised, or micro niche product strategies. In their turn these are leading to changes in business models and the location of manufacturing as consumers increasingly participate in the product design and development process. These are all indicative of major disruptions to the ways that products and services are designed, made, and distributed. The role of the designer is in many contexts transformed. The purpose of this conference is to explore how design management is changing in this era of disruption.

Full Papers
All papers will be double-blind peer-reviewed.

Full papers should be between 4000–6000 words in length. We welcome any research approach or type of paper including conceptual, empirical and critical literature reviews. However, we expect high standards of scholarship within the papers in terms of establishing the theoretical context, explicating the methods of inquiry, and reporting results that may aid other researchers.

A Special Issues of the Design Management Journal and the Journal of Design Research will be dedicated to the selected papers from the conference. Authors who present their papers at the conference will be invited to submit their paper for the Special Issues. Papers will be selected after a further double-blind review process.
