Design Leadership Ignited
Design leadership at scale requires leaders who design the design function, establish a thriving environment for the creative team, and shape the design organization to drive progress, advance innovation, and enhance meaningful customer experiences.
To examine the foundations of successful design leadership, the authors performed extensive in-depth interviews with design leaders working for Fortune 500 organizations across industries. Based on these insights, Design Leadership Ignited delineates a pathway to design excellence, which includes establishing a forward-looking strategy and an adequate organizational structure for the design function, empowering the design team, and scaling the impact of design across the entire organization. This book takes the position that a core challenge in the journey towards design excellence is the need to recognize and balance the often-contradictory objectives and activities that design leaders encounter. Combining their practitioner experience and research, the authors provide a framework to embrace the complexity of design leadership that will elevate design at scale.

THE PRICE EFFECT OF ELIMINATING POTENTIAL COMPETITION: EVIDENCE FROM AN AIRLINE MERGER
This paper analyzes the gain in pricing power that a firm achieves by merging with a potential competitor in its market. Using pricing data for the merger of USAir and Piedmont, empirical analysis finds that prices rose by 5.0 to 6.0 per cent on routes that one carrier served and the other was a potential entrant. This was more than half the increase on routes where the two carriers had been direct competitors. Other important factors included carrier size, market concentration, incumbent's identity and the potential entrant's presence at one or both endpoints.

Minimal film : the cinematic world reimagined through graphic design
This title is narrated through the visual magic of graphic design or a graphic design book told through the evocative magic of cinema. The goal lies in representing the emotion of cinema through extreme synthesis and simplicity of forms. Plus there's colour, which makes each illustration visually stunning and effective. For example, a white circle resting on a blue field is enough to portray the ball Wilson from 'Cast Away', while two white triangles perfectly perpendicular to a red field suffice to evoke 'Dracula'. From 'Game of Thrones' to 'Breaking Bad', even TV series, which have been elected to 'prime-time' for Hollywood productions, are visually represented in this book.
Book
Fill Rate
The direction fill rate is about space utilization. The three cases in this chapter illustrate that fill rate is an important packaging design direction for sustainable development. The cases consider sustainability impacts across the entire packaging system. Each case, though, has its own scope or approach that illustrates the impact of fill rate on the three pillars of sustainable development from an organization, product or packaging perspective. The cases are: detergent powder packaging; ice cream packaging; IKEA loading ledges. The first case demonstrates a well‐functioning and well‐designed packaging system, with a high volume of everyday products. The second case compares two different packaging design solutions for ice cream and discusses their impact on sustainabile development. The third real‐life case evaluates the sustainability outcome from a decade‐long implemention of a new unit load carrier throughout the global retailer IKEA's product range and supply network, from manufacturers via distribution centres to retail stores worldwide.
