Theoritical Framework on Malaysia Design Industry: Based from UK Design Research 2010

This research aims to look and understand the design businesses in Malaysia, to see how important designers are to the business and also to the country, and to know whether the business would give impact to the economic growth in Malaysia. Due to understanding the design businesses in Malaysia, questionnaire has been given out to at least 100 different companies all around Klang Valley to identify the types of business and the numbers of designers and to see how the competitors are increased within Malaysia or over sea companies. Because of the lack of understanding by Malaysian of the importance of design and designers in a business world, this research is conducted for the purpose of looking into this matter. Since there is no existing research being done in Malaysia, this research is being conducted. The case study is also based from a research done by the UK design council on the design industry in 2010.
