MAC or PC? Kindle or Sony ereader? Droid, iPhone, or BlackBerry? Customers often find it hard to distinguish between products due to functional equivalency. They will, therefore, base their decisions on subjective factors. A powerful consumer oriented technology for product development, Kansei or Affective engineering translates customer's feelings into concrete product parameters. Developed in the early 70s in Japan, and now popular among Japanese companies, the method spread to the US in the middle of the 90s. However, cultural differences may have prevented the method to enfold its...

Developed in the early 70s in Japan, the Kansei Engineering (KE) method gives you the tools to develop profitable and well-received products and services. Written by the founder of KE, MitsuoNagamachi, and co-authored by one of his proteges, Anitawati Mohd Lokman, Kansei Innovation: Practical Design Applications for Product and Service Development shows you how to nurture Kansei, develop the skill in observing people, and apply that skill to the development and design of products.

In this book, Nagamachi shares his 50 years of experiences in enterprise guidance and product...

Why isn't learning always easy and fun?

Mitsuo Ogata confronted this very question for several years before finally discovering answers that led him to write a motivational essay revealing the "how" behind the "why." Not only did he revive his enjoyment of learning and thinking, but he also realized that being a genius might not be an exclusive trait after all.

"We Could All Become Geniuses: Seeking Fun in Learning and Thinking" is a practical guide that uses an innovative approach toward learning to meld the complex and the simple into an approachable and enjoyable harmony. A...
