The development of this paradigm was not a one‐step process. It has grown over years of learning, practicing, researching, consulting and teaching packaging. The model appeared in an early form long ago. After much thought and discussion with colleagues, both within and outside of the School of Packaging, it took its present shape. Then it became necessary to find a name or descriptor for the model, other than A Paradigm for Packaging. The name that appeared and found favour with many of the faculty at the School of Packaging was Socio‐Scientific Discipline. This name has proven especially useful when describing to prospective students what packaging is. The name, coupled with the model, has been in use by our advising staff for about four years. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
