Business & Design Lab - University of Gothenburg

Business & Design Lab contributes to the potentially constructive tension among design, business, and society through both research and education. We look for deeper understanding and new interesting questions in the field of design management.

Our research approach combines more traditional methods of management research with artistic research interventions and representations. Through interaction and dialogue with practitioners in different organizations, we orchestrate and participate in processes that challenge taken-for-granted assumptions and critically examine theories of design and management, while also considering new opportunities that may be economically and socially beneficial. Our teachers and researchers have mixed backgrounds from the management and design fields, both as practitioners and scholars.

Together we form a critical and artistically inspired edge in the international design management discourse.

Business & Design Lab is a center of expertise and research in Design Management and is a collaboration between HDK - School of Design and Crafts and the School of Business, Economics and Law at Gothenburg University.
