This paper addresses the issue of the management of the design or innovation process in relation to the integration of different disciplines involved. A new Theory X is suggested, in which X stands for as much diversity as necessary – which is usually much more than people and organizations realize and accept. If implemented the new Theory X will influence the way work is organized; including career development, reward systems and recruitment criteria.
