Design added value, Design's socieoconomic impact, Design indicators, conditionally subjective value, generations, socioeconomic class groups
The postdoctoral study in Design - new knowledge and theory of design's added value: defined design definition and design among other disciplines, described triple design process, decoded perceived value indicators of design, developed self-assessment design's maturity matrix.
The challenge was to address the need to measure the socioeconomic impact of design and the role of design alongside other intangible assets in value creation identified by the European Commission. Ideas such as “good design always creates good value” and “design adds value” support the proposition that design impacts society and contributes to the economy but do not provide reliable and evidence-based tools to demonstrate that fact.
The project started in October 2017 in Latvia and finished in September 2020 and was financed by the European Regional Development Fund and the Republic of Latvia.
The defined perceived value indicators of design succeeded in reflecting conditional subjective values and contributed to developing user-centered design-driven businesses by understanding meanings that people feel, sense, and receive when using products and services.
The postdoctoral research as the local–global case study clarifies the added value of design from the perspectives of users spanning five generations and four socioeconomic class groups by recommending perceived value indicators of design that measure cultural and personal satisfaction, happiness, and well-being as end results of product and service usage.
The objective of this research was to decode design added value by identifying aspects that may help businesses, governments, and society apply design more consciously and mindfully to determine the value proposition as a customer-perceived value and total customer benefit.
