Design in innovation
CRIE’s longest running research stream focuses on design, in particular aesthetic design, as an element of innovation – both product innovation and service innovation in technology-based firms. The project leverages CRIE’s longitudinal data set collected among technology-based firms in Iceland as well as case research conducted in Iceland and the USA.
