in Collaboration with

November 30, 2007, Seoul, Korea
KIDP, in collaboration with DMI, will hold an international conference
on ‘Managing Design in Global Environments’, in Seoul.
This Conference will be a forum for the exchanges of ideas and best
practices among academics and practitioners from across the world.
Proceedings of the conference will help participants better understand ways
to manage the design management and innovation process in the global and
digital era.
We are now seeking submissions of a broad range of papers within the
overarching theme of globalization of design and design management,
including those focused on theory-building and empirical research as well
as case studies. Interested individuals from academia, businesses,
government agencies, or other parties are all invited to contribute to this
conference. The program will comprise keynote presentations, panel
discussions with key opinion-formers in the field, full paper
presentations, and poster sessions of less developed and work in progress
papers.
Best papers of the conference, subject to meeting the necessary editorial
standards, will be published in a special issue of the DMI academic journal.
