On the basis of the Theory of Stylability Development Curve (SDC), through the methodology and the concept used in Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), this research qualitatively analyzed the influential factors that affect the development of product appearance, and induced major forces upon which stylability development is influenced. Through the analysis on the influentiality in each phase of Product Life Cycle and by the exercise of weighing, the relationships between influential forces and SDC were examined and validated. Through characteristics study of the influential forces, the important mechanisms and concepts that determine the development of stylability were explored, which can be used as reference for design management practices. This research concludes that technology resistance, market progression, and environment influence are the three major forces that affect the difusion of product appearance and dominate, respectively, the development of stylability curve in terms of altitude change, lateral extension, and overall performance and the starting point of an emerging curve. With the comprehension of the characteristics of the influential factors and forces, design managers can efficiently and effectively undertake their design tasks related to product appearance. |
