JEC’s impact factor, as CiteScoreTracker of 3.0 (updated as of 4 October 2021), demonstrates its commitment and the quality of its contributions. [...]these comments are intended to recognize the researchers who have contributed in different ways to all these achievements. [...]countries achieve the success that care about the participation of common stakeholders in smart city applications, invest in technical infrastructure and raise awareness of the society using smart platforms. With this in mind, the source of analysis has been a joint project for a real company in which design and business students participated. Besides the observation and interaction with the students during the project, a survey was conducted. [...]of the analysis of the research, we could also develop the design management model, further stressing the growing need for organizations to create collaborative spaces for both designers and managers and to push for greater recognition and greater understanding of those two professionals’ groups and the key role that the corporate culture and the design orientation play in enhancing them.
