Cankurtaran, P. (author), Beverland, Michael B. (author), Farrelly, Francis J. (author)The value of design as a means of innovation has long been recognized. More recently, interest in how design can create value has moved from a functional to a strategic focus whereby the design concept defines the way in which the whole firm competes. This is known as “design orientation,” although research on the nature of this construct...journal article 2024

Veluwenkamp, H.M. (author), van den Hoven, M.J. (author)Politicians and engineers are increasingly realizing that values are important in the development of technological artefacts. What is often overlooked is that different conceptualizations of these abstract values lead to different design-requirements. For example, designing social media platforms for deliberative democracy sets us up for...journal article 2023

Mannak, Remco S. (author), Markus, Arjan (author), Meeus, Marius T.H. (author), Raab, Jörg (author), Smit, A.C. (author)In this study, we explore the relationship between inter-organizational network dynamics and innovation outcomes. We focus on node turnover and argue that both cluster and broker dynamics can range from low (stable) to high (volatile), resulting in differentiated outcomes. The data comprises 318 consortium members participating in 104 R&D...journal article 2023
