The Department of Business and Innovation commissioned Wallis Consulting Group
to undertake research and analysis to update existing data on the design
sector and the current use of design by Victorian businesses. The objectives
of the research were to:
- describe Victoria's design sector and the use of design by SMEs;
- provide a current picture of Victoria's design capabilities; and
- measure the impact of design on the Victorian economy.
Data was gathered through a combination of literature scan, stakeholder
interviews and telephone surveys. The data used as the foundation of the main
research report was derived from two telephone surveys targeting both design
firms and non-design firms. Prior to analysis of the survey results, the data
was weighted accordingly.
