We propose that bridging design theory and practices—especially the Problem-Social-Institutional (PSI) framework—into market economics can aid the design of complex products and institutions. We illustrate this potential through an in-depth analysis of the evolution of US, Canadian, and British medical residency matching markets, which assign medical graduates to hospitals. Initially considered a purely optimal allocation problem, these markets repeatedly failed, stemming mainly from information asymmetry and shifting participant needs. With PSI, we show how changes in problem framing, stakeholder roles, and institutional structures can realign these markets toward stability and better outcomes. This transdisciplinary view positions market design as an iterative, evolving process, much like engineering a product or service. Our conclusions suggest that economists can benefit from design theories such as PSI and design practices such as prototyping, simulation, and stakeholder engagement. Further, we contend that design theorists stand to deepen their practice by incorporating economic considerations that are largely ignored. PSI is positioned as a bridge between design and economics to serve as a common language and framework.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37146,"journal":{"name":"She Ji-The Journal of Design Economics and Innovation","volume":"11 2","pages":"Pages 217-235"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144489734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on these insights, the team co-created process a mobile application—Worun—that connects female runners based on shared preferences. Worun leverages community-building and connection to address safety concerns, highlighting the potential of human-centered design to advance gender equity and empowerment. The app was evaluated through a survey that incorporated a promotional video to simulate its use. Results suggest that the proposed solution may help reduce perceived vulnerability. The study found that all female runners experienced some level of vulnerability regardless of age, running pace, or distance. Participants reported a range of urban and social barriers, including inadequate lighting and harassment. By facilitating safer running experiences through connection and community, Worun demonstrates how design can operate as a tactical intervention to improve well-being and autonomy in public spaces. This research contributes to broader conversations on feminist and socially responsive design, emphasizing the need for context-specific solutions that address complex societal issues and support women’s active engagement in urban life.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37146,"journal":{"name":"She Ji-The Journal of Design Economics and Innovation","volume":"11 2","pages":"Pages 182-216"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144489733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), good design practices and competencies are frequently marginalized. Given the critical role of SMEs in any economy, the new product development (NPD) process must be managed in a structured way. Yet current design management tools often fail to show how SMEs can implement design management effectively. This article introduces the Integrated Design Management (IDM) Tool, which comprises two components: an audit and a checklist with integrated progress monitoring elements. The audit strategically assesses a company’s integration process and design management capabilities, aiming to position design as a core component of an organization’s vision and strategy. Operationally, the checklist provides a structured framework for planning and monitoring NPD projects—emphasizing objectives, actions, and outputs—and enabling companies to self-assess and take actions to improve. Developed iteratively across four phases—Exploratory Study, Tool Creation and Feasibility, Tool Development, and Validation—the tool involved active participation from five manufacturing SMEs through an action research approach grounded in evidence from the literature and exploratory and validation studies. This collaborative approach supported the development of a robust tool while contributing to improved design practices in new product development and manufacturing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37146,"journal":{"name":"She Ji-The Journal of Design Economics and Innovation","volume":"11 2","pages":"Pages 127-159"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144489731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The region suffers significant disease burdens and poor health outcomes, especially among women and vulnerable groups. The scarcity of medical devices deepens these disparities. I responded by developing a context-specific, reusable medical device that improved accessibility and was environmentally sustainable. However, integrating such devices into routine care poses challenges, requiring designers to move beyond an artifact-focused approach and adopt roles that facilitate implementation. Through eight years of longitudinal research, I identified five critical roles: shaper of collaboration, design facilitator, and knowledge broker—each essential for medical device design and validation. Also, the expanded roles of a policy advocate and designer-entrepreneur were essential for successful implementation into routine care. These roles are crucial for sustainable medical devices in low-resource settings but may conflict with systems reliant on stringent regulations. Securing buy-in requires ongoing stakeholder engagement. Equipping designers to perform these roles effectively remains a challenge. My experience highlights on-the-job learning and integrates formal education with practical training. Future research should explore how this combination best equips designers to design and implement new solutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37146,"journal":{"name":"She Ji-The Journal of Design Economics and Innovation","volume":"11 1","pages":"Pages 99-122"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143704850","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}

It reveals how social scientist Dr. Otto Neurath’s pictorial system of visual communication expanded beyond its European origins to convey social reform initiatives under the presidency of Lázaro Cárdenas. Invited by the Mexican government, Otto Neurath and Marie Reidemeister applied the Isotype method to national exhibitions and government reports, most notably in <em>Six Years at the Service of the Government of Mexico.</em> This report mirrored Neurath’s earlier work, the <em>Atlas of Society and Economy</em>. By employing pictograms to communicate statistical data, this visual approach simplified complex topics such as land reform, oil nationalization, and rural education, making them more accessible to Mexico’s largely rural population. Following Neurath and Reidemeister’s brief visit, German immigrant and Bauhaus-trained artist Léna Bergner continued to adapt pictorial statistics during the presidency of Miguel Ávila-Camacho, further cementing the role of Isotype in Mexican visual education. This article addresses the gap in Isotype scholarship by introducing new evidence and realigning key events in this Mexican chapter. These findings demonstrate the global reach of Isotype, enriching our understanding of how this visual communication method was adapted to overcome cultural and linguistic barriers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37146,"journal":{"name":"She Ji-The Journal of Design Economics and Innovation","volume":"11 1","pages":"Pages 7-30"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143704797","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 distinction results in a distance between entrepreneurial identity and professional identity, making designers’ professional careers more challenging, limiting entrepreneurial intention, and reducing the chances of survival of design ventures. To address this, we first delineate the theoretical foundation of entrepreneurial identity and design identity and discuss their current coexistence. We then offer suggestions on how to bridge the gap between the two identities to foster an entrepreneurial design identity in design education.
