Abstract
Much of industry, whether an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or a tiered manufacturing supplier of products, is involved in a global product development operation, where parts can be designed in one part of the world, manufactured in another, and assembled in yet another part of the world. This paper reviews the state of the art of academic design research over the past decade and explores the relationship of present academic activities to that of a product development scenario within the wider global industry practices.
