TY - JOUR TI - Business-Design Laboratory: a Strategy for Innovation PY - 2011 issn 0121-4004 AB - The contribution of industrial design schools to the development of innovative products is well known around the industrialized world. In Latin American countries like Colombia, industrial design is a relatively young practice and the market is not yet aware of the importance of design as a factor for innovation. Colombia’s industry creativity is just emerging. For many years focus was put on production and contract manufacturing. Today, however, Eastern countries do it on a more larger-scale and at low prices. This condition has forced the academia to look for ways of linking companies with students and thus, developing more competitive innovation products.
