A number of recent attempts to measure the effectiveness of design have helpfully reignited an interest in design's value to commercial and societal interests, yet such models for evaluation are not unified to a point where different types of organizations-ranging from the commercially competitive to the socially motivated-can apply them to understand the value of particular design interventions. This paper develops a framework for analysis of the knowledge value of design to an organization or a society, building on the theoretical model of the quintuple helix and "modalities of knowledge," respectively, and then applies this analytical frame to 10 design (research and practice) projects conducted over a 24-month period. The paper concludes with recommendations on how such a framework-the Design Value Helix-may be developed for future analysis of design value for research, business, and societal use. 收起
