The Power Of Design - Evaluation Of Design Needs In An Interdisciplinary Student Project

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The aim of this student project, which was embedded in a diploma thesis, was to distinguish the test persons into groups of "early adopters" and "followers" by using a quantitative questionnaire. In a second step, the different groups had to develop and present their collages, which they think best represent their design needs. All this was performed in an interdisciplinary effort between the degree programs of "Design and Product Management" and "Business and Information Management" at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences. As a result, this preliminary study provides evidence that different consumer groups strive for different levels of design needs and therefore, show individual purchase behaviour.
