Hardback. Condition: New. What makes the Apple iPhone cool? Bang and Olufsen and Samsung's televisions beautiful? Any of a wide variety of products and services special? The answer is not simply functionality or technology, for competitors' products are often as good. The Soul of Design explores the uncanny power of some products to grab and hold attention-to create desire. To understand what sets a product apart in this way, authors Lee Devin and Robert Austin push past personal taste and individual response to adopt a more conceptual approach. They carefully explore the hypothesis that there is something within a "special" product that makes it-well, special. They argue that this je ne sais quoi arises from "plot"-the shape that emerges as a product or service arouses and then fulfills expectations. Marketing a special product is, then, a matter of helping its audience perceive its plot and comprehend its qualities. Devin and Austin provide keys to understanding why some products and services stand out in a crowd and how the companies that make them create these hits. Part One of the book introduces the authors' definition of plot in this context; Part Two breaks down the components needed to build a plot; Part Three describes what makes a plot coherent; Part Four takes on the challenges of making coherent products and services attractive to consumers. Part Four also presents detailed casework, which shows how innovators and makers have successfully brought special products to market. Readers will come away with a sensible and clear approach to conceiving of artful products and services. This book will help managers and designers think about engaging with plot, taking aesthetic factors into account to provide consumers with more special things.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 201 pages. Artful Making offers the first proven, research-based framework for engineeri ng ingenuity and innovation. This book is the result of a multi-year collaborati on between Harvard Business School professor Robert Austin and leading theatre d irector and playwright Lee Devin. Together, they demonstrate striking structural similarities between theatre artistry and production and today's business proje cts--and show how collaborative artists have mastered the art of delivering inno vation on cue, on immovable deadlines and budgets. These methods are neither m ysterious nor flaky: they are rigorous, precise, and--with this book's help--abs olutely learnable and reproducible. They rely on cheap and rapid iteration rathe r than on intensive up-front planning, and with the help of today's enabling tec hnologies, they can be applied in virtually any environment with knowledge-based outputs. Moreover, they provide an overarching framework for leveraging the ful l benefits of today's leading techniques for promoting flexibility and innovatio n, from agile development to real options.…
