Ideation in Industrial Design Context: The importance of group process in brainstorming
Asian Journal of Environment-Behaviour Studies, 2016Co-Authors: Amer Shakir Zainol, Wan Zaiyana Mohd Yusof, Khairul Anwar Mastor, Zuraidah Mohd SanusiAbstract:Brainstorming is a series of procedures (rules) Designed to maximize the productivity of groups engaged in idea generation by reducing production loss, popularized by Osborn, an advertising executive. The main concern in this tool is increasing creativity in an organization. This study examines two main factors, production loss and ownership of the topic that influence the performance in group brainstorming. Production loss includes activities in production blocking, social loafing and evaluation apprehension among individuals, while ownership of the topic relates to the interest of individuals in engaging the brainstorming activities especially in Industrial Design. Using a quasi-experimental research Design, this study reports on the participation of115 groups of university students from 6 different universities. The data is analyzed at group-level. The hypotheses of this study are tested using Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression. Results reveal that out of the three dimensions of production loss, production blocking, social loafing, and evaluation apprehension, production blocking is negatively related to the group brainstorming performance whereas evaluation apprehension is positively related to the performance or group brainstorming. As expected, ownership or the topic is related to the performance too. However, social loafing is not related to the performance or group brainstorming. The results are of potential interest to educators, and researchers. This study responds 10 a call for further brainstorming research. © 2016 The Authors.

interrater agreement for process loss measures are they applicable for brainstorming technique in Industrial Design practices
2015Co-Authors: Amer Shakir Zainol, Zuraidah Mohd Sanusi, Rosita Mohd Tajuddin, Muhamad Firdaus Ramli, Mohammad Mubarrak Mohd YusofAbstract:The importance to examine the types of analysis is always emphasized by researcher(s) because not all work is absolutely done at individual level. Playing football, building an academic module, and developing new Design need the group to work to complete them. Therefore, individual-level analysis only is not sufficient. It needs researchers to look at the different angle of analysis, group level of analysis. By using group level of analysis, this study aims to examine the measurement of group process in the Industrial practices. The formula of James et al. [13] is used to make a verification of interrater agreement. A total of 460 undergraduates from six universities have engaged in brainstorming sessions. The result clearly shows that the three measures of process – production blocking, social loafing, and evaluation apprehension – can be acceptable in using interrater of agreement on group work in Design practices especially Industrial Design.

factors influencing group brainstorming performance in Industrial Design practices amer shakir zainol
2010Co-Authors: Amer Shakir ZainolAbstract:Generally, brainstorming is the most popular technique employed by organizations and institutions to generate creative ideas. Without exception, in Industrial Design practices, particularly in Malaysia, group brainstorming is also a tool that is much preferred by Designers to elicit creative ideas. However, most empirical studies focus more on individual creativity rather than group creativity even though in Industrial Design practices it admits that group creativity, which is brainstorming, is very important. Based on past studies, this study identifies factors influencing brainstorming especially in Industrial Design practices. This study also attempts to enrich previous model of Input (personality traits) - Process (production loss and Satisfaction) - Output (group brainstorming performance) and brainstorming models to include Ownership of the Topic factor. This study examines four main factors, personality traits, production loss, Satisfaction, and Ownership of the Topic, all of which influence performance in group brainstorming. Personality traits in this study are based on A Big Five. Production loss is referred to as the factors that act to impair group performance. Production loss includes activities such as Production Blocking, Social Loafing, and Evaluation Apprehension. Satisfaction reflects how group members feel satisfied when they are in the brainstorming group, while Ownership of the Topic relates to the interest of individual in engaging the brainstorming activities in Industrial Design issue. Group performance is measured based on the Quantity of Ideas produced by the Industrial Design undergraduates during brainstorming sessions.

The impact of Industrial Design effectiveness on corporate financial performance
Journal of Product Innovation Management, 2005Co-Authors: Julie H. Hertenstein, Marjorie B. Platt, Robert W. VeryzerAbstract:Despite the growing recognition of Industrial Design's value in creating sustainable competitive advantage, few studies have attempted to quantify the contribution that Design makes to company financial performance. This article examines the relationship between Industrial Design and company financial performance in order to assess Industrial Design's contribution to this performance. Effective Industrial Design was evaluated by asking a panel of 138 Industrial Design experts to rank the Industrial Design effectiveness of publicly traded firms within nine selected manufacturing industries; the ranking process yielded 93 firms. Based on the rankings, firms within each industry were divided into two groups: those judged as exhibiting high Design effectiveness versus those judged as low in Design effectiveness. Audited financial data reported to the SEC across a seven-year period from 1995 to 2001 were used to evaluate financial performance. Using traditional financial ratios senior managers consider essential performance measures, those firms with high Design effectiveness were hypothesized to have higher returns on sales, returns on assets, and growth rates of sales, net income, and cash flow than firms with low Design effectiveness. High Design effectiveness firms further were hypothesized to have higher stock market returns. These comprehensive, corporate financial measures incorporate expenditures made on Industrial Design (Industrial Designers' salaries, Design consultants' fees, computer-aided Industrial Design equipment) and expenditures that Designers influence through their Design choices (material costs, manufacturing equipment). This analysis reveals that firms rated as having “good” Design were stronger on all measures except growth rate measures. These results provide strong evidence that good Industrial Design is related to corporate financial performance and stock market performance even after considering expenditures on Industrial Design. Further, the patterns of financial performance over the seven-year horizon suggest that these effects are persistent.

The roles of marketing and Industrial Design in discontinuous new product development
Journal of Product Innovation Management, 2005Co-Authors: Robert W. VeryzerAbstract:Radical or ‘‘discontinuous’’ products based on new technological breakthroughs are playing an ever-increasing role in the success of firms. However, little research has been conducted that investigates the roles of marketing and Industrial Design (ID) in the development of these types of products. Further, past research has tended to overlook the role that Industrial Design, and the impact of the marketing-Industrial Design interaction, can have on the development of discontinuous new products. Frequently, the term Design is used broadly or is equated with engineering; thus, while the marketing–research and development (R&D) interaction is studied, the marketing–ID as well as the Industrial Design–R&D relationships are not consider- ed. This article examines the roles of marketing and Industrial Design in the product development process for discontinuous innovations. Specifically, questions concern- ing how and the degree to which marketing and Industrial Design are integrated into the development process are investigated. The investigation employs multiple meth- ods, or triangulation, in order to secure an in-depth understanding of the roles of these disciplines. In the course of examining these questions, key factors influencing Industrial Design and marketing involvement are identified and preliminary models are examined. The research, which was conducted in two phases, employed a mixed-method, multiple sample Design. The methods used included a survey, field observation study, and depth-interviewing. Data were collected from three different samples: R&D managers, project team members (including personnel from various disciplines— marketing, R&D, Industrial Design, engineering, etc.), and Industrial Design man- agers. The use of the different data sources and sampling of various groups of managers was employed in order to provide a rich context for investigating the research questions of interest. In addition, a preliminary analysis of factors (e.g., degree of product discontinuity, product innovation objectives, process discontinu- ity, process formality) identified in the first phase was conducted, and these rela- tionships were explored further in the second phase of the research. Findings across the two phases of this research suggest that the development of discontinuous new products involves a process that is different from more conven- tional new product development—particularly as it concerns the roles of marketing and Industrial Design. The high degree of discontinuity inherent in such projects, along with the strong R&D orientation often surrounding them, results in delayed involvement of marketing and ID, as well as altering their roles in the new product development (NPD) process. Factors such as the degree of product discontinuity (DPD), process discontinuity (PCD), and process formality (PF) seemed to exert a differential influence on the involvement of marketing and ID. Although their roles and involvement are altered in discontinuous new product development, this research suggests that marketing and ID roles in this context involve increased challenges with respect to validation of key assumptions and product application directions. Additionally, managers operating in this development context need to explicitly consider the influence of factors such as discontinuity level in undertaking NPD projects with respect to how it affects the execution of Industrial Design and marketing activities.

integration of sustainability in regular courses experiences in Industrial Design engineering
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2006Co-Authors: Casper Boks, J C DiehlAbstract:Abstract The integration of sustainability issues into a regular Industrial Design engineering product innovation course is a challenge. Simply requiring that student's assignments show sustainable product concepts that are also sound from a traditional business perspective is neither motivating nor realistic. Experiences at Delft University of Technology show that in course development, one of the most important aspects is credibility in written (supervision) and spoken form (business case description, course format). Additionally, putting sustainability in a wider scope, to include social issues like safety, is likely to build enthusiasm with both students and staff without sustainability backgrounds, and is likely to result in better learning processes and assignments, with a higher credibility and more acceptance.
