{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"<jats:title>ABSTRACT:</jats:title><jats:p>Well-designed products are crucial to a company's business success. Management support is a critical success factor in ensuring that design-related aspects are given appropriate attention during product development. Despite the importance of management, the literature doesn't provide a clear picture of what characterizes a competent manager in product design. This gap impedes competence development and explains why organizations struggle to leverage the benefits of well-designed products. This research aims to address this gap by synthesizing important findings from the literature into a model of managerial competence. The model provides initial insight into the individual competencies managers need to meet their responsibility for good product design in organizations.</jats:p>"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","doi":"10.1017/pds.2025.10156","department":[{"_id":"563"}],"status":"public","author":[{"last_name":"Stöhr","full_name":"Stöhr, Bernd","first_name":"Bernd","id":"92892"},{"orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7992-6399","full_name":"Koldewey, Christian","last_name":"Koldewey","first_name":"Christian","id":"43136"},{"first_name":"Ruslan","last_name":"Bernijazov","full_name":"Bernijazov, Ruslan"},{"full_name":"Dumitrescu, Roman","last_name":"Dumitrescu","first_name":"Roman"}],"volume":5,"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2732-527X"]},"type":"conference","date_updated":"2025-11-21T10:57:06Z","intvolume":"         5","date_created":"2025-10-23T10:17:03Z","year":"2025","page":"1425-1434","_id":"61928","citation":{"bibtex":"@inproceedings{Stöhr_Koldewey_Bernijazov_Dumitrescu_2025, title={Effective management support for design: towards a model of managerial competence}, volume={5}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1017/pds.2025.10156\">10.1017/pds.2025.10156</a>}, booktitle={Proceedings of the Design Society}, publisher={Cambridge University Press (CUP)}, author={Stöhr, Bernd and Koldewey, Christian and Bernijazov, Ruslan and Dumitrescu, Roman}, year={2025}, pages={1425–1434} }","ieee":"B.
