생산자 중심에서 소비자 중심으로의 경영 패러다임이 변화함에 따라, 이제 디자인 경영(design management)의 시대가 도래하였다 즉, 제반 기능의 활동이 독립적이고 순차적으로 이루어지는 기존 경영방식(즉, 제품 개발 $\rightarrow$ 제품 디자인 $\rightarrow$ 제조 $\rightarrow$ 마케팅 $\rightarrow$ 판매)과는 달리, 디자인 경영은 디자인을 중심으로 제반 기능간의 통합과 조정을 이룬다. 이 결과, 디자인 경영은 조직간의 커뮤니케이션을 활성화시키며 소비자의 추상적인 욕구가 구체적으로 상품에 표현되도록 노력한다. 이렇게 함으로써, 디자인 경영은 기업 이미지 창조의 역할을 적극적으로 수행하는 것이다. 이와 같은 소비자 중심의 경영은 과거 제품의 판매(sales)지향적이던 기업 활동을 소비자와의 관계(relationship)지향적으로 변화시키고 있다. 본 연구의 분석 목적은 제품 디자인을 품질경쟁력의 결정요인으로서 포함시켜 품질경쟁력의 평가모형을 개발하고 품질경쟁력의 결정요인 및 상관관계와 품질함수를 추정함으로써 제품 디자인 및 디자인 경영의 기능적 역할을 규명하고 디자인 경쟁력 수준을 평가 및 측정할 수 있는 모형을 정립함과 동시에 이를 제고할 수 있는 정책방향을 제시하는 것이다. 이로써, 본 연구는 신상품의 개발과정에서 어떻게 제품 디자인이 연구개발, 제조, 마아케팅, 판매 등의 제반 기능들과 상호 작용하며 이들 기능들의 통합과 조정을 추구할 수 있는가를 보여주는 디자인 경영의 이론적 기초를 제공하고자 함이다. 상기와 같은 연구목적과 분석목표를 위하여, 한국 제조업 부문의 400개 표본기업에 대하여 소정의 설문조사를 통하여 추출된 측정변수들을 기초로 품질경쟁력의 결정요인을 분석하고 품질경쟁력 지수를 도출하여 산업부문별 및 제품유형별로 비교하였으며, 품질함수를 추정하였다. 전술한 분석결과를 토대로, 디자인 경영이론의 기초를 제공하기 위한 시도로서 제품 디자인의 파급효과와 인과관계에 대한 가설검정을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 분석 결과는 다음과 같이 요약될 수 있다. (1) 품질경쟁력의 결정요인으로서 주요 제품들의 기능성, 기본 성능, 제품성과의 기술적 성취도, 제품 수명(내구성), 신뢰성, 핵심 기술력, 사용 편의성, 서비스 편의성, 생산 용이성, 제품 디자인의 우수한 정도가 a=0.01 수준 하에서 유의적으로 추정되었다. 이들 변수들 중에서 품질경쟁력에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 측정변수는 제품의 기본 성능, 수명(내구성), 신뢰성, 제품 디자인의 순서로 추정되었다. 이것은 한국 제조업이 아직 산업 디자인이 품질경쟁력에 크게 영향을 미치는 성숙단계에 이르지 못하였음을 의미한다. (2) 제품 디자인에게 영향을 끼치는 유의적인 변수는 연구개발력, 연구개발투자 수준, 혁신활동 수준(5S, TPM, 6Sigma 운동, QC 등)이며, 제품 디자인은 우선 품질경쟁력을 높여 간접적으로 고객만족과 고객 충성을 유발하는 것으로 추정되었다. 상기의 분석결과로부터, 본 연구는 다음과 같은 정책적 함의를 도출하였다. 첫째, 신상품 개발과 혁신을 위한 포괄적인 연구개발 프로젝트를 품질 경쟁력의 주요 결정요인(제품의 기본성능, 신뢰성, 수명(내구성) 및 제품 디자인)과 연계하여 추진해야 할 것이다. 둘째, 기업은 디자인 경영 마인드 제고와 디자인 전문인력 양성을, 대학은 디자인 현장 업무를 통하여 창의력 증진과 기획 및 마케팅 능력 교육을, 정부는 디자인 기술개발 및 디자인 교육지원의 강화를 통하여 각각 디자인 경쟁력$\rightarrow$품질경쟁력을 제고시켜야 할 것이다.

To become a person that is suitable to the 'High-Touch' generation where emotion takes over, we can focus on 6 skill including design, story, harmony, empathy, play, and meaning. Among these skills, harmony with design was chosen as the most important skill. Design can be seen as the basic element of all business, but it will be difficult to match the flow of the future Sensibility and intuitive generation with just the modern design that has been made based on reasonable and objective information and knowledge. This study suggests system and standardization of Sensibility surface processing design that satisfies great quality, attractive quality and Sensibility quality by applying surface processing design of product and Sensibility cognitive factors felt by the consumer by setting differentiated strategy and CMF (Color, Material, Finishing) understanding along with the importance of design materials in primary aspect. By considering the efficacy/characteristic of new surface processing characteristic/differentiation/possibility of implementation according to setting direction of differentiated CMF strategy per type of parts applied to the product, visual surface processing sample was implemented. Through this, it is expected that practical communication connected tool and Sensibility surface processing design's strategic access framework can be applied by understanding and sharing comprehensive elements such as target product, part type, applied material, applied surface processing, surface color, surface texture, and implementing feeling to environments such as designers, CMF designers, surface processing experts, and engineers in IT, electronics, and other areas. when developing a product.

Home appliance proposes the experience of new lifestyle to consumers, together with digital technology-applied highly advanced functions, beyond its natural quality like the basic function of reducing the burden of housework. However, under the current circumstances that populations are rapidly aging, the number of elderly consumers, who feel it inconvenient to smoothly use even the basic function of home appliance, is increasing in proportion to populations. Therefore, the necessity for developing home appliance with improved usability in consideration of the elderly is rising up. This study analyzed the elderly's pattern of using home appliance and illustrated the procedure of their using home appliance, putting its focus on the home appliance that the elderly highly depend on in keeping their daily life and that they feel it inconvenient to control. And based on the illustrated procedure, this paper substituted various kinds of home appliance that were not surveyed by this study and found out 4 user behavioral models for home appliance. Same as the concept of universal design, product designs, which are convenient to use by the elderly whose physical functions are reduced, are expected acceptable to various user classes. The found user behavioral models purport to give references to design process for product planning and design solutions.

The future population of Korea is expected to reach the second highest level in the world by 2060 for the elderly. It is because of the rapid development of low fertility and medical technology. The burden of society for the elderly is expected to increase steadily. The elderly person firstly appears functional disorder. They have low ability in memory and in cognitive will be. Their activities are therefore limited. And economic production capacity is sharply reduced. Self-sufficiency is a difficult situation. They need help in economic and social aspects. Products for them need research and development. The elderly have a Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI) stage with poor cognitive abilities. It is effective to combine pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment methods for people with mild cognitive impairment. The effects of non-pharmacological treatments on music have been proven. This paper is a study on the appearance from the viewpoint of design in the development of ancillary instruments using music therapy techniques with Digital Convergence. For this study, we investigated the preference for external appearance of mild cognitive impairment. Two times surveys were conducted. As a result, the design of home care product for the hard cognitive impaired was different from that of a conventional game machine or set top box. It should be designed according to the user's special circumstances. They are memory and cognitive abilities. Products that meet physical and mental changes must be developed.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of problem solving ability and satisfaction of university students who are pre-technology teachers in woodworking products(birdhouse) making program using design thinking. Survey responses are analyzed by statistical programs(SPSS ver.20) such as satisfaction, confidence in problem solving, difficulties and causes of difficulties according to gender and grade of 33 students who conducted experience programs in extra-curricular programs to improve creativity and problem solving ability. The main conclusions of this study are as follows: First, the average of total satisfaction about experience programs is 4.39, which is somewhat high. The highest average response is 'feelings of accomplishment' and 'advice in the surroundings'(M = 4.46). There is no significant difference between male and female, and grade. The students interest in group-based different birdhouse woodworking together with the help of the surrounding people by the process of design thinking rather than practice to follow. Therefore, I'd like to recommend to other students due to this program shows a high self-confidence, sense of accomplishment, and satisfaction. Second, the total average response of students 'self-confidence for problem solving at the group based making experience program using design thinking is 3.80. In result of group activities, the students have self-confidence of 'problem-solving ability and deal with difficult situations'. Later, in making programs, complementing difficulties of making can enhance the satisfaction of the students. Third, in the survey questionnaire related with problem solving ability confidence, between 'I have the ability to solve many problems' and 'I always have the ability to cope with new and difficult business situations' show the highest correlation. Therefore, in order to improve self-confidence of problem solving ability, it is necessary to prepare teaching learning programs that can strengthen problem solving ability. Fourth, in the new design and making process not a given product design, the most difficult step is 'the process of rework and modifying idea product'. The main reason that students have difficulty in the production process is 'lack of knowledge and ability to produce'. To make various woodworking products using design thinking process, it can be helpful to make works if you have enough training on woodworking and design thinking before product making. The students' satisfaction about team-based learning using design thinking that helps improving creativity and problem solving ability is high. Therefore, the result of the research in other making activity program that design thinking is applied and analyzed can improve students' problem solving ability.

This study uses the bidet 4D double diamond design process model to propose an improvement for "senior-oriented bidet product service design" that reflects the characteristics and needs of seniors. This study was based on the product service system concept. To this end, qualitative research on seniors was conducted to derive user value factors, and, based on this, product service ideas were discovered, and a prototype reflecting the usefulness review of a working-level expert group was proposed. First, a "smart application service for user-customized function setting guide" was proposed. A bidet incorporating Internet of Things technology and a smart phone are linked to provide an app service that automatically interprets user characteristic information and information on bidet products to guide customized functions. Second, a control panel and remote control user interface to "user-oriented product service interface" was proposed. In consideration of the usability and cognitive ability of seniors, a simple and intuitive physical user interface such as a configuration centered on main functions, button arrangement according to task sequence, and a touch screen remote control was presented. Third, we proposed a "bidet care service linked with products and health/hygiene care" that provides a wide range of services such as user health and hygiene, cleanliness, entertainment, etc., in addition to regular bidet product service. This study proposed a product-based service design methodology that can improve user experience and relationship quality by discovering and improving the pain points and needs of users (seniors) in the process of using bidet products (before, during, and after use).
