Design works: Towards a national policy

A paper presented at the The Arts, and the Innovation Agenda Workshop, March 2008, Sydney, Australia by Associate Professor Anne Marsh, Monash University. The paper proposes that within the Humanities and Social Sciences it is the field of Design that best addresses the relationship between innovation and industry and that if the Government is serious about improving the economy through innovation it needs to look to investing its efforts in Australian Design as one of the key sectors that will build national prosperity.

The paper scans design policies of Singapore, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, the United Kingdom, Denmark and New Zealand, and looks at international research to draw lessons for Australian policy directions.
