Reconceptualising stakeholders for the management of distributed value creation networks through open design-led businesses

2022-7-20
Openly shared design knowledge and open-to-participate design processes present potential for democratising innovation through diffuse value creation networks that can diverge into different directions and design outcomes. This potential mostly concretises through the distributed production paradigm that localises production, closes material loops and empowers communities to meet their specific needs. This paper argues that there is a need for formalising truly alternative ways of doing open design-led businesses that can establish distributed value creation networks. In an attempt to enable and facilitate envisioning such alternatives, this paper presents a novel conceptualisation of stakeholders and framing of their ever-shifting roles and responsibilities in complex value creation networks suggested by distributed production through a systematic literature review of 131 journal articles at the intersection of open design, distributed production and business models. The analysis revealed two main categories of stakeholders namely value-creation-for-self and value-creation-for-others, with a total of six sub-categories presenting varying capacities to participate in networked value creation processes. The article concludes with a discussion on how this conceptualisation can enable envisioning novel, open design-led business models in terms of collaborative value creation, managing distributed value networks and a layered approach to design and value offerings.

The Role of Mathematics in the Design Process Under the Influence of Computational and Design Technologies
Sorguç, Arzu (null; 2006-06-07)
In the design process today, the use of computational and information technologies demands a new way of thinking: “algorithmic thinking“. The first generation of computera-aided design tools have been replaced by highly sophisticated design tools used not only in design but also in construction and product life. These revolutionary step consists in designing directly in 3-D instead of designing by sections and planes. But are computers and new technologies really employed in design process or simply as a ne...
Open design-led business model explorations in distributed value creation networks (Deliverable 5.2)
Bakırlıoğlu, Yekta (DF-MOD Project 120C213 – TÜBİTAK-H2020 MSCA-CoFund, 2022-12-31)
This deliverable presents the outcomes of DF-MOD workshop sessions aiming to explore alternative, demand-driven, open design-led business models for distributed production and local circular economies, facilitated through mass-produced open design parts and the active involvement of value-creation-for-self (i.e., responsible consumers, active users, prosumers/makers/DIY-ers) and value-creation-for-others (i.e., local, regional, and global/mass producers) stakeholders in their design, production and post-use...
Networked Business Model Canvas (Deliverable 5.1)
Bakırlıoğlu, Yekta (DF-MOD Project 120C213 – TÜBİTAK-H2020 MSCA-CoFund, 2022-9-30)
Networked Business Model Canvas is a generative tool developed for exploring alternative open design-led business models in distributed value creation settings. This tool will be utilised throughout work package 5 as part of the co-creation workshops to explore alternative businesses, and it can be utilised by anyone interested in exploring alternative value creation practices in distributed value creation settings.
