215 p. ill.; photo.; col. 30 cm. Publisher Synopsis There are very few books on design management and none like this ... I would think it suitable for anyone studying any aspect of design ... It is also such an enjoyable read that I would even recommend it to non designers. * Bill Hollins, Engineering Designer, March/April 2007 * The book is well designed, stylish and well delivered. Some good case studies that are practical, yet inspiring. The book feels fresh and contemporary and a more relevant book than many used already. * Donna Barkess, University of Sunderland, UK * Excellent book with useful and applicable approaches to clarifying the stages and processes in the current practice ... Rare text for this type of material - original and needed for the industry! * Paul Mazzucca, Mount Hood Community College, USA * This is the first design management title I have found that supports theory with visuals. This is certainly going to be the most student-friendly text on this subject matter! * Paul Ansell, Southampton Solent University, UK * The text provides some really interesting design methodologies all written in an informative and easily understandable way that will suit both our undergraduate and Masters students ... very interesting and useful case studies that provide a rich underpinning to the world of design. * Douglas Wilson, Nottingham Trent University, UK * This book covers most of the topics covered on the module, which means that most of the information is in one place. Excellent price for such a comprehensive book ... Excellent case studies. * Nichola Hebditch, Nottingham Trent University, UK * Design Management pinpoints skills necessary for overseeing design projects. Case studies and interviews also provide strategies for efficient and effective project direction. * Dynamic Graphics magazine * by Kathryn Best. Include index (210-2013p.)
