The Power of Existing Design for Establishing the Dominant “Industrial” Design

Abstract

Digital cameras were initially developed as video memo devices and televisions with cameras and had appearances and designs that differed from film-based cameras. However, improvements in pixel number led to them becoming replacements for film-based cameras. Radical innovations, such as the function of optical zoom and image stabilization that were required to take quality photographs, were then developed. At the same time, digital cameras took on the appearance of film-based cameras, leading to frame that they could replace film-based cameras for consumers. In this manner, though film-based cameras came to be replaced by digital cameras, the appearance of film-based cameras became their dominant "industrial" design.

What are the requirements for design thinking articles?

“…Therefore, this paper reviewed articles on design thinking. The results showed that (a) while existing review 1 Design management has become popular also in Japan in recent years (e.g., Akiike, 2017;Akiike & Yoshioka-Kobayashi, 2017;Akiike, Yoshioka-Kobayashi, & Katsumata, 2019;Hanahara, 2021). 2 (i), (ii), and (iii) are the authors' classification.…”

Establishing Galapagos Ke-tai’s Dominant Industrial Design

“…There have been many studies on this in the field of technology management. However, while much of the existing research has debated the technological and functional sides of dominant design (e.g., Tushman & Anderson, 1986), little analysis has been on the appearance side of dominant design, or dominant industrial design (Akiike & Yoshioka-Kobayashi, 2017). Then, does dominant industrial design have an impact on the competitive position of firms just as it does on technology (e.g., Tushman & Anderson, 1986)?…”
