Drawing on John Maynard Keynes’s projections of technological unemployment and the evolving nature of work, it argues that despite advancements in automation, work has not diminished but rather devalued. Design, understood as a type of knowledge work, faces an apparent existential crisis. GenAI grows adept at mimicking the output of creative processes. The article explores how the fear of the end of design work fueled by the rise of GenAI is rooted in a misunderstanding of design work. This misunderstanding is driven by managerialism—an ideology that prioritizes efficiency and quantifiable outcomes over the intrinsic value of work. Managerialism seeks to instrumentalize and automate design, turning it into a controllable procedure to generate quantifiable creative outputs. The article argues why design work cannot be turned into a procedure and automated using GenAI. Advocates of these systems claim they enhance productivity and open new opportunities. However, evidence so far shows that flawed GenAI models produce disappointing outcomes while operating at a significant environmental cost. The article concludes by arguing for a robust theory of design—one that acknowledges the unique ontological and epistemic boundaries of design work and underscores why design cannot be reduced to a procedural output.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37146,"journal":{"name":"She Ji-The Journal of Design Economics and Innovation","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 414-440"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143135969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although wicked problems cannot be fully solved, they are urgent and demand intervention. While design thinking was suggested in the 1990s to deal with wicked problems, it is still an open question how it can address moral plurality. In this article, we consider how design thinking can address moral plurality in wicked problems. We propose that designers using design thinking can adopt four normative paradigms toward moral plurality, namely moral agnosticism (design for solutions), moral pragmatism (design for aggregated preferences), moral unificationism (design for community-created values), and transcendental moralism (design for The Good). Then, we argue that designers can address moral pluralism and deal with wicked problems within the first three approaches to normativity, provided that designers acknowledge that their responses to wicked problems may fail over time and require new design responses. Ignoring that possibility fits within the paradigm of transcendental moralism, which does not give designers the means to deal with wicked problems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37146,"journal":{"name":"She Ji-The Journal of Design Economics and Innovation","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 441-455"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143135970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on interviews with professionals in play design, this article analyzes how designers <em>figure</em> the child user’s body as being in the making. I identified three figures: the biological body in early childhood development, the potentially unhealthy body of profiled children, and the child as embodied subjectivity in the making. I discuss how these figures become central in how designers imagine the value created by play design as well as their implications on design. This article presents my findings that play designers imagine their design work to create value by stimulating the child’s neurodevelopment, activating profiled unhealthy bodies in high-intensity play, and even forming subjectivities through embodied experiences of mastery and control. Although the analysis focuses on design for play, the article contributes to our overall understanding of how contemporary design relates to its users and strives to improve their health and well-being. Therefore, the article discusses its findings in relation to two themes: twentieth-century biopolitics and design for care.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37146,"journal":{"name":"She Ji-The Journal of Design Economics and Innovation","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 474-493"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143135971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, integrating these sophisticated AI systems into academic and professional practices raises critical questions about responsible use, ethical considerations, and the preservation of human expertise. This article introduces a novel framework for understanding and implementing responsible AI use by drawing an analogy between the optimal use of LLMs and the role of the second student in an Oxford Tutorial. Through an in-depth exploration of the Oxford Tutorial system and its parallels with LLM interaction, we propose a nuanced approach to leveraging AI language models while maintaining human agency, fostering critical thinking, and upholding ethical standards. The article examines the implications of this analogy, discusses potential risks of misuse, and provides detailed practical scenarios across various fields. By grounding the use of cutting-edge AI technology in a well-established and respected educational model, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on AI ethics. It offers valuable insights for academics, professionals, and policymakers grappling with the challenges and opportunities presented by LLMs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37146,"journal":{"name":"She Ji-The Journal of Design Economics and Innovation","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 389-413"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143096699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach is adopted from the interdisciplinary field of valuation studies. The article argues that this valuation studies-inspired approach holds the prospect of transcending the divide between culturalist and materialist approaches to studying design practices. As such, the argument extends previous work on valuation practices in design processes, showing how the intertwining of culture and matter plays out in a situated context of designing. Specifically, the article develops three propositions: The valuation studies-inspired approach complements previous accounts of how power is exercised and how compromises are negotiated in design processes that feature different stakeholders.

Moreover, it enables decentralized models of governance and thus challenges conventional governance approaches. This decentralized approach to governance may offer a more inclusive and participative structure but also demands substantial adaptability. This study, therefore, explored the governance dilemmas faced by enterprises adopting blockchain solutions and seeks to develop an evidence-based set of governance guidelines. Drawing on design science methodology, we studied a highly diverse set of (enterprise-driven) blockchain ecosystems using interviews, documentation, and participant observation. Based on a set of design propositions synthesized from the literature and data collected, we subsequently created and tested an extensive guideline for guiding the journey to decentralization. The resulting guideline, called GOBLET, is characterized by enterprise-centricity, stage-specific guidance, interdependencies between various blockchain layers, and pivotal behavioral drivers. Our study contributes to the literature on blockchain governance by presenting a guideline that helps practitioners create effective governance arrangements for blockchain ecosystems. The underlying design propositions can inform future theoretical work in this area.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37146,"journal":{"name":"She Ji-The Journal of Design Economics and Innovation","volume":"10 3","pages":"Pages 325-350"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142706643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
