Strategic and Business Design

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The curricular unit aims to develop knowledge around the adaptation of associations to design. Today, Design is increasingly intrinsic to the Organization and operates across all its strategic and operational areas. This evolution is the result of the strategic orientation of the associations for Innovation, with Design being a methodology that supports this effort. We will focus on the expressiveness of the design work, on the creation of specialized designers with skills directed to the social and human needs of today. We propose to develop knowledge and skills through real case studies and developed through qualitative and quantitative methods. We do not reject the history and evolution of design, in fact, these are the solid foundations that support the knowledge ¿a priori¿ for this UC, but we will be focused on the transformational capacity in which design today operates, assuming its transdisciplinarity and positioning among the Frontiers of Knowledge.
