MORENO MUNOZ, Cristóbal F  y  SANCHEZ DE LA GUIA, Lucía. Potential of participatory design in companies in the Valencian community. Espacios [online]. 2025, vol.46, n.2, pp.244-258.  Epub 16-Mayo-2025. ISSN 0798-1015.  https://doi.org/10.48082/espacios-a25v46n02p19.

This research explores participatory design in companies in Valencia, Spain, and the benefits of involving the user in design management as a business strategy in SMEs to foster innovation. The methodology includes fieldwork and surveys of product design, graphic design and communication companies, and start-up companies. It is concluded that few companies implement these principles, and design is still limited to creative aspects, establishing a basis for future research on the benefits of participatory design.

Palabras clave : user participation; innovation; industrial design.
