摘要
Outsourcing of design expertise is an increasingly common practice for UK companies. Approaches to managing external design expertise are wide ranging and rather ad hoc. In this paper, a taxonomy of different approaches to design management is delineated and issues raised by different approaches to design management are discussed. The nature of the relationship between design suppliers and buyers can vary from a long-term, close relationship to an arm's-length and distanced relationship. The nature of this relationship is considered.
