In this book Sotiris Lalaounis has made a very welcome contribution to the still too rare literature about the management of design. It is a well-crafted and easy to read book that draws upon relevant theory to explain what designers do, and the value that they bring to organisations. The chapters cover the main issues that non-designers will need to understand in order to use design effectively in their own work. Each chapter contains a critical reflection on the issues raised in the chapter by experts in the field. This book will be useful to business and management students and managers alike.
