CREATING MARKETS: The importance of new business models and design practice

New Zealand is home to many industry success stories, though we are quickly recognizing our need to adapt and innovate in a time of digitisation and automation. Dr Charlotta Windahl argues that while technical competence and innovation might be important drivers of change, understanding dynamic market design is crucial for success. Drawing on about 20 years of close collaboration with the manufacturing industry in Sweden and New Zealand, Charlotta will reflect on her research journey and the importance of market innovation through new business models and design practice.
