Design As Entrepreneurship: Towards A Design-Specific Entrepreneurship Framework, Con Kennedy
Design As Entrepreneurship: Towards A Design-Specific Entrepreneurship Framework, Con Kennedy
Conference papers
Current thinking on entrepreneurship states there is no specific link between the entrepreneur and their enterprise. Design is an individual creative act; therefore, the practitioner is not separate from their idiosyncratic process. The Designer is the product offering. Designers form Design Enterprises, meaning that with this aspect of inseparability, the Design Entrepreneur is a different kind of entrepreneur than currently discussed. The literature on the topic discusses design as a creative output, not as entrepreneurship output. Like any enterprise, Design Enterprises must be profitable. There are many entrepreneurship processes, none of which seem to address the needs of the Design …
Investigating The Enduring Fascination With Dublin's Victorian Pubs, James Peter Murphy
Investigating The Enduring Fascination With Dublin's Victorian Pubs, James Peter Murphy
Conference papers
Victorian pubs of Dublin have played an integral role in the social, cultural and economic history of Ireland’s capital from their early development in the front rooms and parlours of Dublin homes they are one of the most iconic elements of Irish culture. These pubs have always been a strange mixture of tradition and curiosity which forms an integral part of the rich tapestry of Dublin life dating back to their creation nearly 200 years ago. A proud brewing and distilling tradition of these pubs combined with their natural hospitality and sociability, have all contributed to making the pubs of …
Examining The Role Of Store Design On Consumers’ Cross-Sectional Perceptions Of Retail Brand Loyalty, John Murray Dr., Jonathan Elms, Christoph Teller
Examining The Role Of Store Design On Consumers’ Cross-Sectional Perceptions Of Retail Brand Loyalty, John Murray Dr., Jonathan Elms, Christoph Teller
Articles
This paper compares new and established store design prototypes of the same retailer to examine the role of consumers’ cross-sectional perceptions of retail brand loyalty. In-store surveys were administered to capture consumers’ store-level perceptions towards a new store prototype and an older established prototype of the same fast fashion retailer. The data was subjected to multi-group analyzes with structural equations modeling. The findings suggest that store novelty and complexity promote both store design pleasure and retail brand loyalty outcomes. The different store designs do not, however, account for differences in brand loyalty perceptions at the overall retailer level when multi-group …
How To Use Analogies For Creative Business Modelling, Ryan Rumble, Niall Minto
How To Use Analogies For Creative Business Modelling, Ryan Rumble, Niall Minto
Articles
Purpose
This paper aims to present a method for interpreting and reinterpreting business models as analogies to support the creation of new business model ideas.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors use the literature on cognitive frames and attention to demonstrate the often-overlooked potential of analogies. From this, the authors derive practical recommendations for the use of analogies in creative business model design.
Findings
Managers can design creative business models by seeking multiple interpretations of the way other businesses create and capture value.
Originality/value
Business model frameworks are commonplace, but there is little discussion on how to use them effectively. Furthermore, while analogies …

The Specification Of Store Environments: The Role Of Design-Architecture In The Development Of Retailer Brand Loyalty, John Murray, Jonathan Elms Dr.
The Specification Of Store Environments: The Role Of Design-Architecture In The Development Of Retailer Brand Loyalty, John Murray, Jonathan Elms Dr.
Conference proceedings
This paper proposes a conceptual framework for the inclusion of the aesthetic in the study of retail branding. It proposes modifications to the Mehrabian & Russell (1974) stimulus-organism-response model which characterises most approaches to the holistic study of store environments. Store prototype and retailer attachment are among the global and attribute level variables that could together with collative variables such as novelty and complexity help explain retail brand loyalty. The framework is exploratory and aims to add to existing knowledge on the dynamic, situated, perceptive processes at hand when consumers are exposed to the multitude of cues and messages typically …

Towards A Better Specification Of The Store Environment Stimulus: An Augmented Stimulus-Organism-Response (Sor) Model That Captures Brand Expressiveness, John Murray
Conference proceedings
Abstract: This paper proposes an augmented SOR model which facilitates design/architect practitioners when they review store concepts. The paper contributes to the knowledge base of designers/architects when making deliberate brand expressions in development of the store environment. The global nature of the SOR model, it is argued, does not allow for discrimination between consumer interpretations of store brands; nor does it propose a realistic means of engaging design-architect practitioners at the concept proofing stage of development. This conceptual paper argues that retail branding studies benefit from inclusion of more flexible frameworks founded on separable and integral design-architecture and brand communicative …

Port Community Learning Needs: Analysis And Design, Edward Sweeney, Pietro Evangelista
Port Community Learning Needs: Analysis And Design, Edward Sweeney, Pietro Evangelista
Articles
The port industry is facing a dramatic wave of changes that have transformed the structure of the
industry. Modern seaports are increasingly shifting from a “hardware-based” approach towards “knowhow intensive” configuration. In this context knowledge resources, learning processes and training initiatives increasingly represent key elements to guarantee the quality of service supplied and hence the competitiveness of modern seaport communities. This paper describes the learning needs analysis conducted amongst key port community actors in three ports in the south east of Ireland during 2005 in the context of the I-Sea.Net project. It goes on to describe the learning requirements report …

It's Not What You Make, It's The Way That You Say It: Reflections On The Design-Marketing Interface, Paul O'Sullivan
Articles
Good design is a cornerstone of marketing. Design is an important variable in every aspect of marketing activities- products, processes, packaging and communications. Yet this topic attracts little attention in the marketing literature and there is, one suspects, very little cross-fertilisation between marketing and design disciplines. This paper puts design on the agenda for both marketing academics and practitioners as well as providing a review of what is embraced within the broad subject of design. Some observations on the history and role of design in an Irish context are offered also.
