Talk:Design management in organization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The source for this seems to be one book, one blog, and a conference. I am not sure of the general acceptance of the conflicts. The material seems to be written by someone very close to the subject.DGG (talk) 03:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I found almost all books that were used for this article. Prokopenya Viktor (talk) 11:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

1. For general help in doing an article, see WP:FIRST.
2. I am not sure what the subject is; I am not sure this is actually a specific term. The basis for it is the title of the blog and the conference name, but there needs to be a definition making it clear how this is different from general principles of management and from other related subjects. Does it perhaps mean design and management of organisations? or the design of management? or the management of design? or is it a clever wording of the general subject of organisational management? In which case it is not a specific subject, and not the basis of an article. Possibly it is a particular approach to management, in which case you have to explain why it is different and distinct and notable, as compared to other approaches--and show it by exact references.
3. WP is an encyclopedia, not a textbook. You're not presented the essentials of a subject from a position of authority, you're describing it on the basis of what other people have said. therefore everything you write must be based on actual specific sources, which have to be cited in the article, not just generally at the end. Usually one per paragraph is about right, unless the facts are controversial. You have some, but not all. since they are specific pages in a printed book, it would be appropriate to give some short idea of their contents as a quote.
4. some specifics--in the article, when you refer to steps 1 through 14, you are apparently referring to a specific model--it has to be cited. and you cant use it unless it is generally accepted. You say its your own diagram--is it your own model? similarly for the table. Is this your own terminology? If not, exactly where is it taken?
