Knowledge Management and its impact on Industrial Design Process.

      Аннотация: Knowledge management becomes an essential process in industrial design. However, most organizations and designers do not understand what knowledge should and can be managed. Little research is focused on studying the cognitive and social psychological factors within knowledge activities. This book is mainly focused on knowledge issues in industrial design. This study focuses on the internal human activities and explores knowledge management research utilizing a human factors perspective. A tremendous amount of useful information is generated during the process of designing, but often only the steps during the final stage is documented. To effectively manage knowledge can help industrial designers rapidly redesign another similar product by modifying the original design process. This book brings forward a model to manage knowledge generated from the industrial design process. This model supports the reuse of these design process knowledge through mapping the product composition and variation relation in practical industrial design to the design process knowledge in effect.
