Engineering design and innovation management
Dr. Le Masson is working with Benoit Weil and Armand Hatchuel in a research program on innovative design. They propose to distinguish between : 1- “rule based design”, ie classical systematic design, a century-old regime, very efficient as long as the objects are already known and knowledge is available at the beginning of the design process, and 2- “innovative design”, when the identity of the object changes and/or when the needed knowledge is missing. To tackle with innovative design, they have proposed: -A new theory to model the design reasoning to cope with knowledge expansion and conceptual creativity: the C-K Theory (Hatchuel & Weil 2003) -New design-oriented organizations based on Innovation fields, Design Space and Value Management, able to integrate collective creativity -A new micro-economic : new forms of performance and efficiency in design-based economy
