CATALYST Perspective: Our economy and society depend on our material flows…

Issue 7 Spring 2011

A lack of balance in material supply creates political, and economic consequences for a world community. We are already witnessing the consequences of the struggle for supply of critical materials. Strategic design can inform how we source, select, transform and recapture these materials. Our designs will not only impact the political and economic relations of states, but also the material well being of the world’s people.

About the author

CATALYST

CATALYST | Leading Creative Enterprise is a platform for communication, applied research and exchange of the international graduate programs in creative enterprise leadership in Arts and Cultural Management (ACM) and Design Management (DM) at Pratt Institute, School of Art. In each issue, Catalyst focuses on creative enterprise. Each year we select a theme. Then, we search out the leaders, visionaries and entrepreneurs who embody that theme in practice. They are each leading as if life matters—creating economic value as they enrich our cultures, our lives, and our shared world.
