Pra. Con. VL - 9 IS - 1 SE - Essays DO - 10.7146/propracon.v9i1.113925 UR - https://www.propracon.com/article/view/113925 SP - 4-16 AB - <p>The aim of this paper is to the advance pragmatic constructivist understanding about communication in the product<br>development context. In particular, the paper provides new understanding about how proactive truth about design<br>knowledge can be constructed and communicated within product development actors. The paper shows how company<br>representatives in the manufacturing environment, e.g., managers and engineers can together understand the customervalue-<br>creation mechanisms of a specific product and integrate their expert knowledge into visual form. Building the<br>collective understanding requires communication between these actors. Ultimately, the actors may be able to construct a<br>useful proactive truth about related business potentials and thereby support technology management in the product<br>development context.</p> ER -
