METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF USER INVOLVEMENT RESEARCH: A CONTRIBUTION TO USER-CENTRED DESIGN THEORY
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 June 2020
Abstract
The concept of involving user perspectives into product development processes has its roots in the early 1960s. Although this seems to be following a quite long tradition, as a design research field, it did not improve substantially and, so far, no consistent perception or even definition of the concept can be found. The paper points out where design research on user involvement still lacks methodological and theoretical foundation and makes the attempt of providing impulses for systemizing the existing body of knowledge within the Design Society as a research community.
