Abstract

This chapter looks into distributed development in industry and the question of the influence of design research. The authors describe an example of distributed development in praxis and discuss the connections to design research. Thereafter the communication and transition of insights between industry and academia in general is discussed. Besides already successful cooperation the authors identify room for improvement and propose to deliberately consider the three different roles of “academia,” “industry partner,” and “industry consumer” when setting up information exchange or joint research projects consisting of members from industry and academia.
