Abstract

Several studies have highlighted the expanding role of designers through interdisciplinary collaboration. However, the literature rarely covers the public perception regarding design, and it is unclear whether collaboration with designers in the early stages of development is generally acceptable in practice. Thus, this study aimed to examine the status of communication designers’ role and collaboration in a multidisciplinary team to make suggestions and recommendations that can maximise organisations’ potential competency in using designers. In-depth interviews were conducted to investigate the current roles of communication designers in organisations and clarify the determinants of the collaboration. Consequently, the propositions for maintaining a better collaboration with designers, together with the concluding remarks, were presented.

摘要

几项研究强调了设计师通过跨学科合作不断扩大的作用。然而，文献很少涵盖公众对设计的看法，并且不清楚在开发的早期阶段与设计师的合作在实践中是否普遍可以接受。因此，本研究旨在检查传播设计师在多学科团队中的角色和协作状态，以提出可以最大限度地提高组织在使用设计师方面的潜在能力的建议和建议。进行了深入访谈，以调查沟通设计师在组织中的当前角色，并阐明合作的决定因素。因此，提出了与设计师保持更好合作的建议以及结束语。
