Mugge, R. Huinink, M. Faculty Industrial Design Engineering Department Product Innovation Management Date 2014-12-31 Abstract This research uncovers seven cross-category design styles and demonstrates how people’s preferences for these design styles are based on social distinctions. Knowledge of these cross-category design styles and the research approach might assist designers when faced with the challenge of how to address different market segments, and how to play with stylistic conventions.
