设计与技术:产品创新过程中意义研究转向

Design and Technology:The Turn of Significance Research in the Process of Product Innovation

设计在商业领域对创新方面所起到的重要性得到共识,产业界和学术界开始把“意义创新”作为设计创新的主要模式。但现有研究来,虽然意识到意义对于创新的重要性,但是意义本身构成的框架和要素并不清晰,其次相关研究多从消费者角度讨论意义的形成,对于生产者方面的技术要素如何影响意义形成关注不够。文章梳理了可以构建意义结构的理论,其次从设计的角度探讨了意义的内容,明确意义的构成要素,最后探讨在产品开发过程中技术为意义的创新做出哪些贡献。

There is a consensus on the importance of design in innovation in the business field,and the industry and academia have begun to consider"meaning of innovation"as the main mode of design innovation.However,existing research has recognized the importance of meaning for innovation,but the framework and elements of meaning itself are not clear.Secondly,related research often discusses the formation of meaning from the perspective of consumers,and insufficient attention is paid to how technological factors related to producers affect meaning formation.This article summarizes the theories that can construct meaning structures,then explores the content of meaning from a design perspective,clarifies the constituent elements of meaning,and finally explores what contributions technology can make to innovation of meaning in the product development process.
