Press Information Enhanced International Awareness of Design — 543 Entries for Newly Structured “If Product Design Awards 20 Press information Hannover / Germany, December 2004 Enhanced international awareness of design — 543 entries for newly structured “iF product design awards 2005” competition net iF seal of design excellence; 20 students receive award in “concepts” category 2,322 entries from 31 different countries were submitted for the iF product design awards competition. The international panel of judges was faced with a difficult task, given the impressive diversity as well as the sheer quantity of well-designed products. Product entries from Asia scored parti- cularly well in the category of Consumer Electronics and Computers. Eight products netted an iF seal in the “advanced studies” category. A total of 20 students were the recipients of an award in the “concepts” category, seven of which have been selected for a share in the total ‘concepts’ purse of EUR 10,000 donated by the Dyson company. The official awards ceremony at CeBIT 2005 on March 10, 2005 will be the venue for announcing the 50 win- ners of an iF Gold Award (who will automatically become part of the “iF gold selection 2005”) as well as the exact breakdown of prize money for the “concepts” category. A growing international awareness of design was revealed by the receipt of entries from places like Brazil. There were fewer products submitted in the areas of furniture and medical technology. A new trend toward “accessory products,” accompanying but also criticizing the “host product”, could be observed. Those, at least, were the impressions of the top-flight jury members recruited for the iF pro- duct design award 2005. Another noteworthy feature was the fact that numerous entries came in from Taiwan, Korea, Japan and China — a sure sign of the influen- ce of the iF design award.CHINA, which is presented at CeBIT Asia, and already enjoys a fine reputation. “There is an observable tendency for people to focus less on technology and more on style when selecting things like mobile phones and MP3 players, but also other electronic appliances as well. ‘Personal products’ are taking the market by storm, which is opening up new options for the way we design and use products..” (Bill Moggridge, IDEO, Palo Alto/USA) For further informations: “It is definitely noteworthy that the trend in mobile phone design is headed in the direction of toys, and that fashion aspects are moving into the sphere of product iF International Forum Design GmbH Dirk Bartelsmeier, Anne-Kathrin Aumann design.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

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.
