May 9, 2017 Industrial Design is Key to Growth of Manufacturing Sector

Another example of the arts positively impacting business is the growing recognition among manufacturers of the value of industrial design and design thinking. To help advance design as an asset for improving manufactured products and processes, the National Endowment for the Arts has published Industrial Design: A Competitive Edge for U.S. Manufacturing Success in the Global Economy. In addition, new findings from the Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Account, a partnership of the NEA and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), include industrial design employment and compensation by state.
