PRESENTATION TITLE 
DESIGN MANAGEMENT: A GAP THAT REMAINS OPEN.
Lack of training of directors in strategic design management: the case of branding.

SUMMARY
The expertise of managers responsible for design management varies according to the specialization and development of each organization.

This unequal management capacity is observed even within the same entity; for example, an excellent industrial design management and a faulty brand management.

Branding is an example of this dysfunction, with serious errors in graphic design, even in big corporations. Directors' education lacks knowledge of design management and this can be a challenge for business schools.

PRESENTATION TITLE 
Design and Marketing: Intuitively Independent, Inherently Intertwined.

Design and Marketing were considered as completely independent concepts with different functions. Much of this belief was fuelled by the different mind-sets that they bring to approaching a problem, as well as their focus on the end-user as an individual. But in fact, they are so inherently intertwined and it is difficult to separate them from each other.

Each of these disciplines has its own procedures, approaches, and processes to solve problems of the businesses and respond to the needs of individuals. However, in many constructs and concepts, both disciplines have intersections and even overlaps, but in different languages.

Therefore, in order to better understand the differences and intersections of design and marketing, I would like to get help from an economic concept that both disciplines played an important role in its formation and development which is called "Bāzār".

PRESENTATION TITLE 
Being Rigorous and Relevant: On the Interplay of Marketing and Design Research

Marketing as a social science studies phenomena of the current world and tries to answer questions like ‘How do value creation and exchange take place?’ In contrast, design is a science of the artificial, trying to answer questions like ‘How can the world be changed?’ While marketing research has been losing relevance for business practice, design research is struggling to become a science as rigorous as more traditional scientific disciplines. Why not join forces? Adopting design thinking and design methods, marketing can become more relevant. Using principles and methods of marketing research, design research can become more rigorous.
