Impact of design on the economy and the world
- - Stimulate innovation: national competitive advantage + politically motivated investment
- - Boost national competition: injecting creative responses
- - Promote national competencies
- - Improvement within the quality of design of products/services + delivery
- - Customers’ expectations
Design in weapon development
- - Gives the country an advantage over its competitors regarding the weapons market share
- - Increase of national’s defence system + offensive
International competition includes several factors:
- - National budget deficit/surplus
- - R/D
- - Consumption level
- - Technology
- - Social situation
Design can also be used to boost the national demand for a certain type of product. For example, Qatar has a really high rate of building construction (by foreign companies) in the last several years due to its economic boom. Thus, the national Qatari government has decided to look for companies who can fulfil their construction requirements. “Smart” building technologies are welcomed, including high safety and efficient standards. Innovation and sustainability are words that can now be linked with Qatar, as their government’s goal is to achieve an economic boom, which will not harm the environment. GEZE Middle East, a German building company has won the bid to build a couple of buildings that will include new safety and sustainability systems.
