Industrial design as a factor of high-tech product competitiveness under contemporary market conditions

TERRA ECONOMICUS, , Vol. 12 (no. 3),
p. 162-183

Is industrial design an effective instrument in competition under fast growing high-tech markets? What strategies are used by such companies in this sphere? What is their efficiency? Why is industrial design becoming a key factor of strategic activity of high-tech firms and one of the important determinants of high-tech market structure? How should economists treat this new phenomenon of industrial organization? How does it change our perspectives over markets and high-tech markets in particular? These are the questions that are under consideration in the article.


Keywords: industrial organization; industrial design; high-tech industries; competitiveness
