    Abstract

    Although many authors emphasise the differences and potential confl icts between product design and marketing, there appears to be a disagreement in how to handle such differences and confl icts within organisations. This paper presents a novel and general model that focuses on how different practices relating to design (self-oriented or commercially oriented) and marketing (product-oriented or market-oriented/customer-led) may be combined, and discusses the coordination of marketing and design when combining these practices. By introducing such a general model, this paper contributes with a new perspective on tensions and synergies that exist between design and marketing.
