Abstract

Strategic design is a comprehensive approach for safeguarding the economic viability of a company. It necessitates the design of products and processes that efficiently and effectively accommodate changing markets and technological innovations. Accordingly, our vision involves identifying, developing and understanding principles, tools, and technologies to establish and preserve strategic, sustainable development - for products, processes, industries and careers. Our core activities include: • conceiving and verifying foundational theories for the realisation of engineered products, processes, systems and services; • promoting scholarship in the form of discovery, analysis, synthesis and education; • developing technologies that enable companies to conceive and produce customised products that service various market segments; • promoting technology transfer; • fostering growth of intellectual capital among all stakeholders, including industrial partners, faculty and students. © Springer-Verlag London Limited 2005.
