“…Furthermore, several studies, carried out in laboratory settings with experienced engineering designers or students, note the importance of information in the Fig. 2 Sketches produced by MA students and professional designers-adopted from Tovey et al [13] design process [17,18]. As compared to these studies, the information behaviour of designers in styling design has been under-researched.…”

Consumer response to designed products has a profound effect on how products are interpreted, approached and used. Product design is crucial in determining this consumer response. Research in this field has been centered on studying the relationship between product features and subjective responses of users and consumers to those features. The subject of aesthetic or styling design process has been relatively neglected despite the important role of this process in fulfilling intended consumer response through product design. In this paper, we present a review of descriptive design research on aesthetic design process, and highlight limitations of this research. We also suggest opportunities for further descriptive research on the subject of aesthetic design process.

The base (BOP) and the top (TOP) of the world income pyramid represent the people living in poverty and the people from developed countries, respectively. In the approach of business development combined with poverty alleviation, the design of products for the BOP plays an important role. There is an urgent need to develop an understanding of the process of designing products for the BOP. Requirements handling is an important ingredient of a design process. This research, using a protocol study, examined the differences between the requirements handling behaviour of designers when they design a product for the BOP and TOP markets. We found differences between their requirements handling behaviour in terms of their attention to different topics of requirements, and their handling of solution-specific and solution-neutral requirements.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) stress unsolved global topics such as mitigating poverty and exclusion. Inclusive approaches often highlight frugal innovations for the Base of the Pyramid and low income markets, mainly offered by private sector. In the contexts of sustainability, the private sector is both, a major driver of exclusionary processes as well as for enforcing new inclusive solutions enhancing quality of life, participation, and incomes. So it is of interest if and how the business sector contributes to enforcing SDGs. Therefore, 50 frugal innovations were analyzed for their contribution to the SDGs and their sustainability value creation patterns by content analysis. Main insights stress that social engagement is mainly value driven by small and medium enterprises and non‐governmental organizations. Institutional voids can function as drivers for multinational corporations to develop new and inclusive business models. An enforcement of the SDGs is primarily given on indirect and low level.
