Doctoral dissertation

Marc Steen: The fragility of human-centred design, Delft University of Technology. Delft University Press (Imprint of IOS Press, Amsterdam), 2008. (ISBN 9781586039417).
I studied how researchers and designers in human-centred design balance their attempts to move towards others (users and fellow project-team members) and towards openness (learning and creating new things) with their tendencies to stay close to the self (their own ideas, knowledge, methods and skills) and to create closure (to draw conclusions and to deliver results).
