This dissertation is organised into three parts:Part I focuses on building the conceptual framework (Section 1), and describing and analysing the context in which the phenomena was inquired (Section 2); Part II concerns the empirical cases which were divided into two stages; Chapter 6 represents the frst empirical cases studied and presents an approach more focused on the micro or organisational level of analysis that is closely related to the top management and leadership attitude (generally represented by the owner of the enterprise) in the context of MSMEs. Chapter 7 enlarges the scope of analysis which was framed at three levels (actors, organisational, and ecosystem). Part III regards the findings and learnings, contribution to the design policy field, limitations, and future research issues.The first part of this dissertation is divided into two sections. The first section provides rationales for the use of design (Chapters 1, 3), as well as for imitation (Chapter 2) in the global arena from a literature review, building the conceptual framework. The second section looks at the context of this research (Chapters 4, 5).Chapter 1 discusses the value of design. The first chapter attempts to clarify the motivations that lead organisations and countries to invest in design. The diverse value views that have been connected to design based on a literature review and analysis were conducted in order to clarify the issue of the design value. The need to approach this issue arose from practice. The idea is to evidence in a more 'shareable' and 'visual' way the value of design and related studies and fields since it has been very difficult to assure benefits directly related to the use of design (and to its use intensity).Chapter 2 presents the counteracting (or supporting-depending on the context) role of the copycat behaviour and the different reasons that have been motivating firms, people and countries to 'follow the crowd' or imitate. In some contexts, the copycat attitude works as an alternative to survive (e.g. Latin America) and a means to innovate in the tech industry (e.g. China). Copy, imitation, and adaptation of original products have been carried out in different geographies and cultures, as well as in diverse historical moments.Chapter 3 points out the MSMEs' relevance for a wealthy economy as well as briefly introduces their relations to design innovation.Chapter 4 focuses on the development of the field of design policies, pointing out main studies and historical events that were crucial to moving towards the consolidation of the field, frameworks, and actors that have been identified and conceptualised to describe and visualise contexts of design policies. Research which focuses on less advanced economies is emphasised. Design support programmes' best practices are highlighted.Chapter 5 introduces an overview of design policies in Brazil, and the design status in Brazil, especially from a design management viewpoint. The Brazilian Design Innovation ecosystem is illustrated, applying the framework suggested by Whicher and Walters (2014), and analysed. Design support programmes in Brazil are further explored and the main mechanisms are discussed in the light of best practices.In this first part, a global perspective on topics which can be considered universal regarding design approach and practice is provided. This outlook is convergent with Krippendorff, Maser, and Spitz (Bonsiepe, Krippendorff, Maser & Spitz, 2015) thoughts on the universal character of design. Krippendorff (Bonsiepe et al., 2015, p. 18) claims that "...design is a basic human ability to construct or improve on the construction of our world with responsibility to those affected, directly or indirectly", and although "...there are cultural differences to be honoured...the process of proposing responsible innovations is not explained by national boundaries". Maser (Bonsiepe et al., 2015, p.18) emphasises that "any distinction should rather be project-specific and task-focused" relating to the field of application, not to national labels. Spitz (Bonsiepe et al., 2015, p.18) also addresses design as an "international phenomenon" being historically "a substantial part of industrialization"; in addition, she confirms her position stating that "any national label would reduce design to its superficial aspects, to the style features of formal aesthetics".Moreover, studies on design policy (Er, 1997; Raulik-Murphy, 2010) have stressed the common role of design as a competitive tool in industries and firms (Er, 1997), and the similarity of the pattern of design programmes (RaulikMurphy, 2010) in less advanced and advanced economies.Thus, in this study, design is considered a worldwide practice that can be embedded in diverse contexts, presenting certain common routines, ways of thinking and doing, and expectations regarding change and future. On the other hand, the specific context of emerging countries can influence design adoption or use. Hence, the particularities of Latin America and Brazil are pointed out throughout the text, as well as studies that have addressed. (Abstract shortened by ProQuest).
