User Representations in Design Work in a Medical Device Company
Søsser Grith Kragh Brodersen, Hanne Lindegaard · SensePublishers eBooks · 2016
In this chapter, our analytical scope is to understand the relations, tensions and dynamics surrounding the multiple bundles of practices related to user representation in the design work in a medical device company. Based on observations of four ‘situations’ that evolved around user representation in the company’s product line, we argue that these practices are shaped and reshaped by different meanings, competences and materiality (Shove et al., 2012). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
