Abstract
The explicit effort of the Organisation Design and Enterprise Engineering (OD&EE) journal to treat organisation design and organisation engineering as complementary rather than competing approaches to organisational development, calls for a more nuanced take on the design theories, design practices, design methods and design concepts that are at the heart of a given discipline. This commentary on the editorial introduction by Rodrigo Magalhães and Henderik A. Proper focuses on the current design understanding in OD&EE, and judges it as too narrow in this context. The commentary shows how design as a concept needs to be broadened to contribute to this new emerging area of research and pactice in OD&EE.
