The inter-disciplinary concept of Design Management has gained considerable ground since the 1980s by addressing the totality of issues that improve competence in the management of design. As knowledge of the management of design has developed, the concept has come to be understood as a formal organisational activity. This network is concerned with expanding capacity for research on Design Management and moving the research agenda forward by examining the changing nature of design management in the new global environment that profoundly affects current economic and social activity. The focus of the proposal is the changing role of the Design Management practitioner and current practice (Gornick 2008). There is keen awareness within the existing Design Management community that new organisational thinking and methods are being formed by fundamental structural changes in industry, in which services and public sector design management play an increasingly significant role. These create a diversity of organisational cultures and contexts in which the role and management of design needs to be more clearly understood. It is important that all key participants, researchers, practitioners and educators are kept aware of these changes in order to shape future research programmes. The Design Management Metamorphosis Network promises to create a very dynamic forum for the development of ideas, methodologies, and case studies.The network events will be organised as colloquia and a symposium. Four events are planned as detailed below:Colloquium 1: Twenty-first century contexts for Design Management This event will explore the changing contexts within which design management practice operates. These include environmental and sustainability issues resulting from the current acute economic crisis, and the impact on private and public sectors of the emerging issues of authenticity and trust.Colloquium 2: Design Management roles in current and emerging practice The second event will focus on mapping changes in roles and responsibilities in Design Management, and practitioner and researcher responses to the current critical demands of the twenty-first century, including the impact of globalisation and structural changes in industry. Symposium (event 3): Creating an environment for knowledge exchangeThe third event, a two-day symposium, will be designed as a forum for building connections between the knowledge needs and interests of network participants. Consequently it will enable participants to explore the relationships between Design Management practice and research. It will examine the past and present acquisition of knowledge in Design Management and how knowledge will expand and disseminate through organisations in the future.Colloquium 4: The emerging value of Design Management to society and the economyThe final event will explore Design Management's value in organisations, in particular the Design Manager's role in creating value, and their broader social implications, for example, for participatory design. Drawing on practitioner experience, it is anticipated that the research questions will impact on the modelling of practices across different industrial sectors and sizes of organisation. The network is designed to bring benefits to its three principal constituents: practitioners, researchers and educators, and to provide sustainable frameworks for future knowledge transfer. It welcomes PhD students and early career researchers and aims to advance research questions and inter-disciplinary methodology development, and the formation of network groups with senior researchers and practitioners.ReferencesGornick, N.

自20世纪80年代以来，设计管理的跨学科概念通过解决提高设计管理能力的总体问题而获得了相当大的基础。随着设计管理知识的发展，这个概念已经被理解为一种正式的组织活动。该网络致力于扩大设计管理研究的能力，并通过在深刻影响当前经济和社会活动的新的全球环境中研究设计管理不断变化的性质，推动研究议程向前发展。该提案的重点是设计管理从业者和当前实践的角色变化（Gornick 2008）。在现有的设计管理社区中，有敏锐的意识到，新的组织思维和方法正在由工业的基本结构变化形成，其中服务和公共部门设计管理发挥着越来越重要的作用。这些创造了组织文化和环境的多样性，其中设计的角色和管理需要更清楚地理解。重要的是，所有关键参与者、研究人员、从业人员和教育工作者都要了解这些变化，以便制定未来的研究计划。设计管理蜕变网络承诺为思想、方法和案例研究的发展创造一个非常有活力的论坛。网络活动将以座谈会和专题讨论会的形式组织。研讨会1：设计管理的21世纪背景本次活动将探讨设计管理实践运作的不断变化的背景。这些问题包括当前严重的经济危机导致的环境和可持续性问题，以及对私营和公共部门的影响的真实性和信任的新问题。第二场研讨会将集中讨论设计管理中角色和责任的变化，以及从业者和研究人员对21世纪当前关键需求的反应，包括全球化和工业结构变化的影响。研讨会（活动3）：为知识交流创造环境第三个活动是一个为期两天的研讨会，旨在为网络参与者的知识需求和兴趣建立联系。因此，它将使参与者探索设计管理实践和研究之间的关系。它将研究过去和现在在设计管理知识的获取，以及知识将如何通过组织在未来扩大和传播。座谈会4：设计管理对社会和经济的新价值最后一场活动将探讨设计管理在组织中的价值，特别是设计经理在创造价值方面的作用，以及它们更广泛的社会影响，例如参与式设计。根据从业者的经验，预计研究问题将对不同工业部门和组织规模的实践建模产生影响。该网络旨在为它的三个主要组成部分：实践者、研究人员和教育工作者带来好处，并为未来的知识转移提供可持续的框架。它欢迎博士生和早期职业研究人员，旨在推进研究问题和跨学科方法的发展，并与高级研究人员和实践者形成网络小组。gornick， N.(2008)，“内部设计：设计经理如何管理变革？”设计管理学报，第3卷。设计管理学院，美国波士顿
