Features: Fully leveraging the advanced experience of developed countries is an effective way to accelerate the development of industrial design in China. As the saying goes, "The stone of others can be used to polish jade," the practice of China's reform and opening-up for over 20 years has proven that opening up to the outside world is an important path to narrow the gap between China and developed countries in the world and achieve leapfrog development of the Chinese economy. Through comprehensive and multi-dimensional opening-up, the overall strength of our economy has been enhanced, and the international competitiveness of enterprises has been strengthened by continuously absorbing the technology and management of advanced multinational companies. Currently, there is still a significant gap between China's industrial design and developed countries in the world. Our design technology level is weak, design talent is scarce, and there is a lack of world-renowned brand design companies. The industrialization level is low, design companies are small, and operations are in a scattered state. The government lacks the necessary attention and policy and financial support for industrial design. If this trend continues, China's industrial design industry will inevitably struggle to compete with world-class multinational design companies. The lag in China's industrial design capabilities will also affect the development process of the manufacturing and other industries. Therefore, boldly learning from international experience and strengthening cooperation with world-class design companies, as well as drawing on their advanced business concepts, is also an important path for China's industrial design to go global and step onto the world stage. The book "Design Creates Wealth" translates the papers of more than ten international industrial design masters and experts. These papers not only reflect the development of world industrial design but also propose guiding suggestions for the development of industrial design in China, making them highly valuable for reference.
