As to the value of Design and the Creation of Value , it is profoundly pronounced and plentiful. For practitioners, the book lends substance to long-standing contentions. There is potential for designers to become conversant in the language of economics and to understand the derivation of its ideas. Greater still is the potential for design to transform the practice of its major patron., Heskett provides us the most comprehensive set of ideas about how organizations can use design to create economic value. These essays are the best source for linking design theory with policies that organizations can adopt and act upon., Design and the Creation of Value presents Heskett's heavy lifting. He opens a door between the mutual isolation of economics and design ... In these volatile times, the changing context in which design operates leaves us much to do. John Heskett's book is a beginning--we must continue his work.
