Product Design/Research: Ethical Dilemmas in Complex Design Problems

Charles L Mauro, CHFP is President of MauroNewMedia


10/15/2012, 6:00 PM
Towne Building, Room 337

Abstract: Technology is rapidly becoming critically integrated into the daily lives of the world’s expanding population. The role of product design/research in this new world order is to produce solutions that balance the personal needs of those who use such technology with essential financial objectives of those who develop these robust new technologies. In the process of achieving such a balance there are a multitude of complex decisions to be made which lend themselves to a range of formal and informal decision models encompassing the management and social sciences. Embedded in complex product design decision-making are issues with direct ethical, societal and business implications. This talk presents four complex product design/research case studies from major industry sectors including healthcare, financial services, consumer products and internet-based social networks. These real-world case studies catalog the critical role of product design/research and discuss compelling ethical issues which impact the solutions to complex business problems. Finally, we provide
a framework for identifying ethical dilemmas in product design/research and suggest a model for addressing such problems in the future.
