The Department of Business and Innovation commissioned Wallis Consulting Group\r\nto undertake research and analysis to update existing data on the design\r\nsector and the current use of design by Victorian businesses. The objectives\r\nof the research were to: \r\n\\- describe Victoria's design sector and the use of design by SMEs; \r\n\\- provide a current picture of Victoria's design capabilities; and \r\n\\- measure the impact of design on the Victorian economy.\r\n\r\nData was gathered through a combination of literature scan, stakeholder\r\ninterviews and telephone surveys. The data used as the foundation of the main\r\nresearch report was derived from two telephone surveys targeting both design\r\nfirms and non-design firms. Prior to analysis of the survey results, the data\r\nwas weighted accordingly.\r\n\r\n**Data Formats**\r\n\r\n\\- Weighted Tables wg4021.xlsx (Excel) \r\n\\- wg4021_spss.sav (SPSS)\r\n\r\nSurvey methodology and questionnaire available -\r\n[Survey](http://www.business.vic.gov.au/industries/design/overview/design-\r\nresearch-report-2012/methodology)\r\n\r\n澳大利亚商业与创新部（Department of Business and Innovation）委托沃利斯咨询集团（Wallis Consulting Group）开展研究与分析工作，以更新维多利亚州设计行业的既有数据，以及该州企业当前对设计的应用现状。本次研究的目标如下： - 阐述维多利亚州设计行业及中小企业（SMEs）的设计应用情况； - 呈现维多利亚州当前的设计能力全貌； - 评估设计对维多利亚州经济产生的影响。 研究通过文献调研、利益相关方（stakeholder）访谈与电话调查相结合的方式采集数据。作为主研究报告核心基础的数据，来源于针对设计机构与非设计企业开展的两项电话调查。在对调查结果开展分析前，已对该批数据进行了相应加权处理。 **数据格式** - 加权表格wg4021.xlsx（Excel格式） - wg4021_spss.sav（SPSS格式） 调查方法与调查问卷可通过以下链接获取：[调查](http://www.business.vic.gov.au/industries/design/overview/design-research-report-2012/methodology)
