<p>Womanese scripts (also called Nushu女書) has been praised as one of the Chinese</p><p>special and secret languages, and a kind of unique characters used by women only. Designing "culture" into products will be a design trend in the global market. Based on the research of cultural and creative product design, this article analyzes Womanese scripts and artifacts from three aspects to explore new cultural product designs. Combined with the Scenario approach, this article will construct a framework for turning Cultural paradigm to Cultural product design. Taking the case of Chinese Womanese scripts, the conversion of cultural products is carried out to verify the value of the research framework. Therefore, a general framework is proposed for Womanese scripts to translate culture creative industrial design that applies to a culture product design and economic model. Besides, Womanese scripts is a kind of emotional product that can be expressed and transmitted into modern life and can increase the emotional interaction between people. This has a great significance to the cultural creative industry design and economic model, such as historical and cultural heritage.</p>

The study explores how to innovate creative cultural product design by integrating two explicit cultures’ contexts. The study proposes a four-step approach for developing uniquely innovative cultural products under a bicultural context: 1) Identify cultural context, 2) Survey comparable features of two different cultures, 3) Compare the differences and similarities of two unique cultures, and 4) Negotiate the differences and integration. The case study represented in the demonstration is the critical factor of the proposed approach. The SCAMPER technic was applied to generate creative ideas. The results show that bicultural communication is an essential strategy for fostering design innovation. The SCAMPER technic application helps the study reach developing creative cultural product design in the bicultural context.

Culture consists of practices, objects, and values ​​in one society. This culture occurs as a result of the emergence of transactions and agreements between certain communities so as to agree on these existing values ​​into the daily life. Even this culture itself is passed down from generation to generation, the identity of this culture demands uniqueness, boundaries, and originality. But the big problem is the strong current of globalization which makes the mingled interactions between one and another culture. Indonesia is rich in culture, which in the past also experienced a lot of acculturation with one another. The uniqueness of Indonesian culture is displayed in many forms, both objects and habits, including performing arts in Bali, phinisi ships, and also batik. Through this research the authors again raise how to increase the selling value of cultural products in Indonesia, by looking at the case studies of traditional batik which innovated into a global approach. This case is discussed from the point of view of Komaruddin Kudiya's success in introducing batik to the global market. The research method was carried out qualitatively, with a cultural and business design approach. The data obtained is based on workshops and seminars, as well as literature obtained online. Furthermore, the data will be studied and analyzed descriptively to produce explanations related to the factors that increase the selling value of batik as a result of Indonesian culture.

Flexible Assembly

Purpose The recent shift towards accommodating flexibility in manufacturing companies and the complexity resulting from product variety highlight the significance of flexible assembly systems and designing products for them. The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the requirements of a flexible assembly system for product design from the assembly system’s standpoint. Design/methodology/approach To fulfil the purpose of the paper, a literature review and a case study were performed. The case study was conducted with an interactive research approach in a global market leader company within the heavy vehicle manufacturing industry. Findings The findings indicate that common assembly sequence, similar assembly interfaces, and common parts are the main requirements of a flexible assembly system for product design which reduce complexity and facilitate various flexibility dimensions. Accordingly, a model is proposed to broaden the understanding of these requirements from the assembly system’s standpoint. Research limitations/implications This study contributes to the overlapping research area of flexible assembly systems and product design. Practical implications The proposed model is largely based on practical data and clarifies the role of product design in facilitating flexibility in an assembly system. It can be used by assembly managers, assembly engineers, and product designers. Originality/value The key originality of this paper compared to the previous studies lies in presenting a novel assembly-oriented design model. The model enhances understanding of a flexible assembly system’s requirements for product design with regard to reducing complexity and managing variation in a flexible assembly system. These requirements can be applied to product design across various product families within a company’s product portfolio.

AbstractNumerous studies have dealt with the process of globalization and its various cultural products. Three such cultural products illustrate this process: Vikas Swarup’s novel Q and A (2005), the TV quiz show Kaun banega crorepati? (Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?), and Danny Boyle’s film Slumdog Millionaire (2008). The novel, the TV show and the film have so far been studied separately. Juxtaposing and comparing Q and A, Kaun banega crorepati, and Slumdog Millionaire provides an effective means to shed light on the dialogic and interactive nature of the process of globalization. It is argued through this case study that an analysis of their place of production, language and content, helps clarify the derivative concepts of “glocalization” and “grobalization” with regard to the way(s) contemporary cultural products respond to globalization.

Abstract This article seeks to reveal the primary barriers to fair economic development based on Kenyans’ perceptions of power and globalization. This search was initially sparked by the seeming disinterest of First World scholars to understand the reasons why poor countries benefit so little from the global market as reflected in a subsequent lack of a wide-ranging existing literature about the subject. The literature suggests that global capitalism is dominated by a powerful small elite, the so-called Transnational Capitalist Class (TCC), but how does this relate to Kenya and Africa in general? We know that the TCC has strong connections to financial capital and wealthy transnational corporations. It also pushes neo-liberalism, which becomes the taken-for-granted everyday language and culture that justifies state policies that result in a further class polarization between the rich and poor. Using Kenya as a case study, this article draws on original qualitative research involving face-to-face interviews with Kenyan residents in different sectors who spoke freely about what they perceive to be Kenya’s place in the world order. My interview results show that, on top of the general lack of economic power in the world order, the main barriers to Africa’s performance are neo-colonial and imperialist practices, poor technology, poor infrastructure, general governance issues, and purchasing power.

Product Interaction

One of the critical tasks in product design is to map information from the consumer space to the design space. Currently, this process is largely dependent on the designer to identify and map how psychological and consumer level factors relate to engineered product attributes. In this way current methodologies lack provision to test a designer’s cognitive reasoning and could therefore introduce bias while mapping from consumer to design space. Also, current dominant frameworks do not include user-product interaction data in design decision making and neither do they assist designers in understanding why a consumer has a particular perception about a product. This paper proposes a new framework — Cyber-Empathic Design — where user-product interaction data is acquired via embedded sensors in the products. To understand the motivations behind consumer perceptions, a network of latent constructs is used which forms a causal model framework. Structural Equation Modeling is used as the parameter estimation and hypothesis testing technique making the framework falsifiable in nature. To demonstrate the framework and demonstrate its effectiveness a case study of sensor integrated shoes is presented in this work, where two models are compared — one survey based and using the Cyber-Empathic framework model. It is shown that the Cyber-Empathic framework results in improved fit. The case study also demonstrates the technique to test a designers’ cognitive hypothesis.
