5. Read and translate this text in written form. Design and business
Designers, unlike artists, can't simply follow their creative impulses. They work in a commercial environment which means there is a huge number of considerations that coming to bear on
the design process.
Designers have to ask themselves questions such as: is the product they're creating really wanted? How is it different from everything else on the market? Does it fulfill a need? Will it cost too much to manufacture? Is it safe?
Emphasis on the customer makes design a formidable weapon for
any business. Companies have often designed their way out of failure by creating a product that serves the customer's needs better than its rivals'. Design delivered the operating-system market to Microsoft, rescued Apple Computer and made Sony an electronics giant. A Design Council study has shown that design-led businesses on the FTSE 100 out-performed the index by 25%.
Putting an emphasis on design brings creativity into an organization and increases the chance of producing market-leading, mould-breaking products. As the sophistication of the consumer and global competition increases, this becomes more and more valuable. Businesses are finding that they can no longer compete just by slashing prices or upping the marketing budget. Innovation in the
form of design is the key to success.
