Based on a literature survey of the development of concepts supplemented by a selective literature review for the years 2000 to 2010, this article aims to trace the dynamic development of the field of design management – a cross‐disciplinary research field seeking to establish itself in its own right. The framework of this research is evolutionary theory, and our analysis are based on two prime design management journals followed by a comparative review two adjunct journals The Design Journal and Creativity and Innovation Management . The challenge is to avoid being overwhelmed by the established paradigms and logics dominating the field of management research. As far as this limited study of adjunct journals indicates, design management as a field of study has not yet been able to acquire attention outside the design research community.
