Abstract

Design research has resulted in a deepened understanding about the design process as well as characteristics and proceeding schemes of single designers and design teams. Additionally, numerous strategies, methods, and tools were developed in the last decades. Not all the results could be successfully applied in industrial practice. This chapter seeks to contribute to the exploration of the causes for failure or success in a certain branch of industry—the automotive industry—from a certain view point. The objective is not to present a concise and complete exploration of the phenomenon of adoption and refusal of design strategies, methods, and tools but instead to contribute explanation hypotheses for certain partial phenomena. The chapter first explains the view point and the source of insight, presents the design research outcomes to be transferred, and discusses some specialties of the specific industry branch. Then a model of the transfer of design research results into industry is presented. This model presents the basis for the later detailed discussion of the insights.
