In the ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk category, parent brands introduce line extensions as innovative product designs to address the competitiveness in the market. However, not knowing if consumers will purchase the product results in uncertainty for the product design and marketing team. Using the behavioural reasoning theory, the purpose of this study was to explore South African consumers’ reasons for purchasing a UHT line extension that was designed to include the word ‘enriched’ and other extrinsic line extension attributes comprising product packaging design, country of origin and price. An exploratory-descriptive qualitative study was conducted using six focus groups involving milk consumers from a South African university. Three behavioural approaches (i.e. curiously cautious, unconditional and habitual) emerged, with differentiating characteristics of the behaviour towards the UHT line extension. Each extrinsic product attribute was characterised by specific behavioural acts that positively or negatively infl uenced the reasons for purchasing the UHT line extension. The behavioural reasoning theory was useful in explaining the linkage between the reasons for or against purchasing a UHT line extension product and the intended behaviour, which contributes to a better understanding of consumers’ approaches to a UHT line extension. Findings can assist food designers and marketers in designing a UHT line extension that resonates with consumers.

Background: A systematic and continuous product policy management is important for a company's competitiveness and the question is to what extent and in what way companies engaged in the furniture manufacturing sector actually apply them. Objectives: The objective of this paper is to explore to what extent the design profession is involved in the product policy and teams which define market properties of products in the furniture industry. Methods: In order to achieve the objectives of this paper, the Model for Exploring the Role of Design in Defining Market Properties and the Product Policy in the Furniture Industry has been devised. Two surveys have been conducted, measuring the level of involvement of the design profession in the product policy, as well as the involvement of designers in the work of teams which define market properties of products in the furniture industry. Results: The design profession is not systematically and continuously involved in the function of the product policy as the key component in programming a company's development and growth in the furniture industry. Conclusions: Companies engaged in furniture manufacturing should consider the possibility of involving design managers in coordination and management of product development, as well as in communication coordination on the manufacturer - designer level.

The issue of co-creation of value is now one of the new directions referring to the use of wisdom of “crowds” in building a competitive advantage of the enterprise. The article presents the benefits of using this approach in the organisations discussed in the literature and the opinions of managers about the benefits mentioned in the research.

Podejście sensoryczne jest nierozerwalnie związane z wzornictwem przemysłowym. Prototypy i/lub produkty wchodzące do produkcji są doświadczane na poziomie sensorycznym. Tekst ma na celu zbadanie metod i technik wykorzystywanych przez skandynawskich projektantów pod kątem multisensoryki. Aby podkreślić szerokie spektrum tematu, pod uwagę zostaną wzięte różnorodne materiały. Drewno zapewnia bodźce wizualne, dotykowe i zapachowe, które zostały wykorzystane zarówno w projektach koncepcyjnych, jak i komercyjnych. Szkło, często rozważane wyłącznie pod kątem wizualnym, wnosi walor dotyku w postaci kształtu i faktury. Słuchowa natura designu jest również wykorzystywana w nowej fali eksperymentów w sferze tekstyliów. W szerszej perspektywie wiele firm stosuje również techniki brandingu wykorzystujące olfaktoryczne konotacje skandynawskiego dziedzictwa. Podsumowując, zagadnienie multisensoryczności w skandynawskim designie, choć nie zostało jeszcze dokładnie zbadane w międzynarodowej literaturze, stanowi ciekawą perspektywę badawczą, interesującą zarówno z punktu widzenia krytyki designu, jak i kulturoznawstwa.

The text aims to investigate methods and techniques introduced by Scandinavian designers which are beneficial to the overall sensorial aspect of their work. To emphasize the wide spectrum of the subject, various materials would be taken into consideration-wood, glass, metal, textiles. Thanks to the analysis of selected case studies it is possible to showcase the main ideas of how the multisensorial design practices have been implemented within the realm of Scandinavian design, focusing on diversity of examples. The methodology applied uses the analysis method of design history combined with the perspective provided by cultural studies and their analysis of the broad context. To enrich the latter, also certain cultural associations will be considered. Wood provides the visual, tactile, and olfactory experience which has been used in both conceptual and commercial projects. Glass, often considered by designers exclusively for its visual aspects, brings the tactile element of shape and structure, which are meant to mimic the contact with nature, vital for many Nordic projects. Metal and textiles can be considered as opposite sensorial features based on contrasting properties, hot–cold, soft–hard. The study serves as an introductory paper to touch upon the question of multisensory in Scandinavian design, not thoroughly investigated in international literature, by presenting further opportunities for in-depth studies.
