03 PR Awards Ceremony If Communication Design Award 2014 PRESSEINFORMATION [3] Hannover/Munich, 28 February 2014 Courage instead of convention: The winners of the iF communication design award 2014 are honoured at the BMW Welt in Munich Whether it’s a website, an annual report or an advertising campaign, those who want to communicate their message clearly and creatively must stand out from the crowd. A high-level jury of international design experts recognized 311 such entries in the iF communication design award 2014. The jury was especially impressed by 20 entries whose extraordinary design quality deserved special recognition with an iF gold award. The awards ceremony, the iF design awards night, took place on 28 February 2014 at BMW Welt in Munich where iF CEO Ralph Wiegmann presented the winners with the coveted trophy. From a total of 1,102 entries in the iF communication design award 2014, 311 were recognized with the iF label. The participants, who came from 28 countries, included advertising agencies, communication designers, manufacturers, designers, architects and interior designers. “We were thrilled by the courage of many participants who dared to take a new idea and start from scratch, thus developing totally new approaches. Our means of communication are changing dramatically each year, with ‘new’ becoming ‘old’ within the blink of an eye. If companies want to be cutting-edge and want to remain relevant players, they have to be prepared to constantly reconsider their communication channels and, if necessary, to leave behind conventional technologies and concepts. Those who’ve done this successfully this year have submitted extraordinary entries and have been recognized with an iF communication design award 2014”, said the jurors of this year’s awards.

  • 04 PR Awards Ceremony If Packaging Design Award 2014
    PRESS RELEASE [4] Hannover/Munich, 28 February 2014 The winners of the iF packaging design award 2014 are honoured for their intelligent and sustainable concepts Jury recognition for intelligent and sustainable concepts: 95 entries to the iF packaging design award 2014 have been awarded the coveted iF label. The expert jury was particularly impressed with 5 entries whose consistently implemented design and focus on good usability was acknowledged with an iF gold award. iF CEO Ralph Wiegmann presented the gold award winners with the coveted trophy at the iF design awards night on 28 February 2014 at BMW Welt in Munich. The iF packaging design award is one of the three competitions in the iF design awards where manufacturers and designers from all over the world face up to the competition. Altogether, 4,615 entries from the areas of product design, communication design and packaging design were entered into the iF design awards 2014, with 1,626 entries being recognized with the coveted iF label and with a total of 75 products receiving an iF gold award 2014. The jury of the iF packaging design award 2014 observed a consistently high level of quality in this year’s entries, proving that, today, high standards are being applied globally. South Korea put in a particularly strong performance with as many as three of the five iF gold awards going to South Korean products. The experts were impressed with the wealth of original, practical and innovative packaging designs, since packaging has long become much more than just a protective skin for a product: it is a design discipline in its own right, where communication and product design are combined in intelligent ways to achieve outstanding results.

  • Business Model Innovation Between Tangible and Intangible Products
    Proceedings of the 11th Annual International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Singapore, March 7-11, 2021 Business Model Innovation between Tangible and Intangible Products CHEN Si Graduate School of Business and Finance, Waseda University Tokyo, 1698050, Japan Faculty of Education Sciences, East China Normal University Shanghai, 200062, China [email protected] NAGASAWA Shin’ya Graduate School of Business and Finance, Waseda University Tokyo, 1698050 Japan [email protected] Abstract Highly valued in technology enhancement or product design, the business models of tangible and intangible products, however, are less concerned by academic researchers and entrepreneurial practices. The definition, characteristics and structure of these business models are still ambiguous. This article synthesizes the literature and draws conclusions. Combined with strategic design thinking, two core models are proposed for the two product types. These two business models, BMTP and BMIP, are illustrated by using four representative design companies as cases analysis. Implementation underpinnings of entrepreneurship education in Design Disciplines are explored in the suggestion part. Keywords: business model innovation, tangible and intangible products, entrepreneurship, strategy 1. Introduction A great increase on entrepreneurship in the field of technology turned up globally in the past thirty years, especially about the huge economic market and business trading platform to everyone. However, entrepreneurship and its education of tangible and intangible products are still in an unsystematic industrial chain, not merely for most designers usually concentrate on their products design, but also for they are totally unfamiliar with the knowledge of business as well as the entrepreneurship education in Design disciplines is in its infancy. As we know, the term “design” covers a wide range of disciplines, some of the common ones are architecture, engineering, exhibition, fashion, visual communications, interiors, multimedia, packaging.

The firm soon expanded its program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad.

In the last decade many studies have promoted the importance of good design in improving firms‟ attractiveness to the market and profitability, and enhancing industry productivity and economic development. In concert with this push, „design thinking‟ has become the „next big thing‟ in business. However, there is little hard evidence to support claims that good design is necessarily good business, with partial analysis or anecdotal reference to particular companies generally employed instead to buttress such claims. This paper contrasts the share prices of firms that have won highly regarded design awards with average share price movements in NZ, Australia, the United States and the UK. Contrary to earlier research, we found that winning design awards does not lead to above average performance in NZ, Australia or the UK. However, there was some positive effect in the US where the market listings are more internationally diverse. As a result, we raise questions about the assumption that good design is good business, and outline the implications for theory building and practice.

    Hitachi Projects Design Excellence Good Design Award 2012 and Product Design Award 2013 Praise the Design of Hitachi’s LCD 8000 Series Projectors 24 January 2013, AUSTRALIA – Awarded for their slim and contemporary design, superior quality and design excellence, Hitachi’s LCD 8000 series projectors have been recognised with two internationally-renowned design awards: Good Design Award 2012 and Product Design Award 2013. The Good Design Award is a comprehensive program for the evaluation and encouragement of design organized by Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JDP). The Good Design Award has been given to outstanding designs for more than 50 years in the pursuit of prosperous lives and industrial development. The International Forum (iF) awarded Hitachi with an iF Award for good design for its LCD 8000 series projectors. Established in 1953, the iF Product Design Award is today among the most important awards for innovative product design. Bill Christoforou, marketing manager at Hitachi Australia, explains the importance of such awards: “These most recent awards reinforce our belief that Hitachi stands for quality and product design excellence. Customers are now looking for attractive industrial design and usability in equal measure and the awards recognize the lengths we’ve gone to ensure our products will not only give them the functionality and technical specifications they require, but a product that will be forward- compatible.” Hitachi’s LCD 8000 series projectors have been designed to provide maximum presentation impact in mid to large venues. The LCD 8000 series projectors including the CP-WU8450, CP-WX8255and CP- X8160 are suited to venues such as lecture theatres, function rooms, auditoriums and interactive shopping experiences.
