What is enterprise?
Show answer
Enterprise is the commercial side: identifying a market need, costing the product, pricing, and judging whether it is viable. A designer works within these realities; a brilliant product that cannot be made and sold profitably will not reach users. Responsible enterprise balances commercial success with social and environmental responsibility.
What is q1?
Show answer
Define planned obsolescence and state one reason it is criticised. [2 marks]
What is q2?
Show answer
State what anthropometric data is and how a designer uses it. [2 marks]
