Locke states that in the context of innovation "three relevant interpretations of design" are identified: (1) design is the tangible outcome; (2) design is a creative activity; and (3) design is the process by which information is transformed into a tangible outcome. (Locke, nd) There are stated to be three different types of design processes: (1) conceptual design; (2) embodiment design; and (3) detail design. (Locke, nd) Locke states that the benefits of good design are: (1) processes being improved by gradual innovation; (2) redesign of existing products in response to user needs, new markets and competitor products; and (3) development of new products by anticipating new market opportunities.
