Abstract
Design and management are characterized by intangible processes. A common perspective dominates both fields, since it most often is implicitly assumed that they take place inside well defined organizational boundaries.
In this paper, we assume that design as well as management takes place in open organizational systems with activities crossing organizational boundaries.
Based on this assumption, it is proposed that designing includes stakeholders in a number of organizational units, cooperating in order to contribute to the process of creation and implementation of specific designs. It is thus proposed that design and management are intertwined in several ways.
