The Domus Academy Spring Semester 09 in Business Design January 11, 2009

Creative thinking and innovation strategies for design, business and management students
Domus Academy (DA) is pleased to announce a unique semester study abroad design program that starts in
January 2009 exploring the reciprocity and the influences between enterprise and creativity and between managerial organization and innovation, showing that businesses can often generate more original forms of creativity and that creativity itself requires increasingly complex and articulated managerial and administration models.
This new semester program, based on the acclaimed Master of the same name uses the "Made in Italy" model (based on the production of beautiful and well-made objects) to complement the Anglo-Saxon one. The combination of project culture and entrepreneurial skill helps update the model of manager/designer co-direction as it focuses on communicating a particular vision.
The interdisciplinary nature of the DA program puts students in direct contact with the productive world of enterprise and
companies and inspires research project themes to explore and to design. Visits to Milan area industry workshops factories and showrooms,as well as the International Furniture Fair (Salone del Mobile) are also included.
The program’s ultimate goal is to prepare professionals who are capable of overseeing project, production,and distribution in design driven companies
