Abstract

<p>This study aims to identify key factors for design management. Choosing two design-oriented consumer electronics companies, we compare their designer networks by using dataset of design patents. The result shows that designer organizations have significant structural differences, which suggests that the two companies follow different organizational policies according to their design strategies. The evidence indicates the followings: (i) a dense network of designers is effective to share implicit knowledge among designers and to create integrated product designs, and (ii) a sparse network of designers is easy to keep independence of designer teams and design productivity by concurrent development and design differentiation in their product portfolio.</p>
