Research Interests
My research looks at when, how and why a human-centered design approachand theories of interaction design benefit the organization. Within this context, I explore the relevance of design thinking and design methods to managerial and organizational problems. My work is based on the idea that every organization is in the business of developing, i.e., designing, products. This leads to questions like: how does the organization go about it? what kinds of products does it develop? for whom? Also, how does the organization make use of the potential for bringing about change in this process? Since design is in its essence the art of change, why is it that so few organizations take advantage of design when they seek internal organizational changes?
Potential Doctoral Proposals
- Proposals that explore general questions of design research and design problems
- Proposals that inquire into the forms, roles, practices and processes of design in the organization
- Proposals that look into the links between designing and changing
- I encourage students interested in any of these areas to talk to me about their idea
