An agenda for the study of design management is presented here. This agenda is predicated on an innovative conceptual underpinning for the management of operations. There are at least three distinct ways in which design processes may be conceived: (1) as a capable of transitioning inputs to outputs; (2) as a flow of materials and information over time and place; and (3) as a process of providing value for consumers. Each of these three perspectives has merit and should be considered. On the other hand, until very recently, the conversion model was the standard practice in the AEC (architectural, engineering, and construction) business. The existing thought and experience of design management is reviewed, basic hypotheses are suggested, and then a research program for design management based on those assumptions is proposed.
